Really? Hee... I was confused by your choice of what to eat... why paint?
I assumed you must have had *some* reason for picking it (why not "poison"
[we have a word for that] or "garbage" or "my knife"?), so I thought about
it... and saw the pun in "paint" and "die"... So I assumed it was there on
purpose. Heh... Guess I was trying to read too much in.
