    Apparently I heard we only know of how shitty he is because someone probably burned his house down and he fled suddenly? It baked the bad reviews he kept in his house (lol) into something that could survive to today.

    But it’s probably very diluted, considering how much copper has been mined in the last 4000 years.

    BTW, it’s also likely, that your car battery has some lead from Roman pipes. Once again, highly diluted, but still.
