9. I called this yesterday.

Castor oil (which comes from the castor bean, a source of ricin) is sometimes used as an ingredient in laundry detergent. See my post here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=517158&mesg_id=517759

I have to wonder: how is it that I came up with this info with 15 minutes of Googling but, apparently, no one in the major media and no Texas authorities could figure it out? :eyes:
