May 7, 399 BC (according to Plato) –
… Socrates, what is truth?’ ‘Socrates, what is beauty?’ Never once did any of you guys say ‘Socrates, hemlock is poisonous.’ Thanks a lot, you guys …
Greek authorities forced philosopher Socrates to end his life by drinking a potion containing hemlock for his teaching methods which aroused skepticism and impiety in his students.
Those must have been some parties, if you get condemned to death afterward.
And so it goes
