Just watched  the bio of Kurt Vonnegut on cable, one of my favorite authors; have most of his books.  Ice 9...  



Did not recall that lead citation.  Alas, not many in his home town (Indianapolis) read his books.  Tragic death... he tripped on a step in front of his home in Manhattan NY - traumatic brain injury.  So sad...

Kurt Vonnegut - "Timequake" (1997)



"You think the ancient Romans were smart? Look at how dumb their numbers were. One theory of why they declined and fell is that their plumbing was lead. The root of our word plumbing is plumbum, the Latin word for lead. Lead poisoning makes people stupid and lazy. 



What's your excuse?"
