Poisoned bread 'gift' puts 25 Germans in hospital
2013-04-18
Ironically, the word gift means poison in German. The word for present is das Geschenk.
[BBC] Twenty-five people are in hospital in Germany after eating bread rolls laced with rat poison, which were left at their firm as "a gift", police say.

The workers at a plastics company in Lower Saxony helped themselves to the food, left in a box with a note.

Tests carried out on the bread overnight at a Berlin laboratory confirmed the presence of rat poison.

Police said the 25 were under observation but so far no-one had shown symptoms of poisoning.

The identity of the perpetrator and the motive remain unclear.

#2  "Gift" in German means "poison."

#1  If the rat poison was warfin based (blood thinner) the folks poisoned could have had serious problems if they had a bleeding problems such as ulcers before hand.

Not funny.
