Title: Remember the metric prefixes?

Remember the metric prefixes? King Henry died
etc.

There really was a King Henry who died because of
something he ate!
Morays are fished, but are not considered
endangered. This is due in no small part to their
toxicity. Ciguatoxin, the main toxin of
ciguatera, is produced by a toxic dinoflagellate
and accumulated up through the food chain, of
which moray eels are top, making them dangerous
for humans to eat. This fact was apparently the
cause of death for King Henry I of England, who
expired shortly after feasting on a moray eel.
