Interesting...

I was looking up assassins in the encyclopedia and I only found assassination, but I read a little information that I thought was worth sharing.

The word assassination comes from the word assassins or hashshashin (hemp-eaters), a band of Muslims in Persia and Asia Minor in the 1100's. They smoked a drug called hashish, which is made from the hemp plan, and killed their enemies while under its influence.
Interesting indeed.

I love getting comments, long or short, whether you agree with me or not. .

Just be kind. I don't tolerate any rudeness at all. So just be careful with what you write and how you write it.
