It was hemlock, but i've never heard of it being in tea. It might have been, I guess.

Last words. Considering some ancient civilisations believed that the dying could see into the future, this does not make for very positive reading.

Ok, so back to topic.

"I lived enough, so I die now undefeated."

- king Epameinondas of Thebai, after victory over Spartans; after these words he took out an arrow which hit him during the battle and lost too much blood to survive...

From this distance they couldn't hit an elepha....

That were the last words of some general in the American civil war, just before he was hit by enemy artillery ;D

Wow, I was reading through some of the other pages and they blew me away..

"It's better to burn out, then to fade away."

The suicide ones.

Neil Young actually wrote that in his song called My my, hey hey. A depressing but good song.

Then Kurt wrote it in his suicide note. Thus Neil Young got back into music because of Kurt (not necessarily because of his death).

~~ Louis XVI of France, d. January 21, 1793"

That's odd, I read that Louis XVI's last words were drowned out by the drum roll, so no one heard them...
