I posted some silly posting on one of the science fiction related Usenet groups, where I was fumbling for what the fourth spirit of the ancient alchemists was, and Steve Glover (bless him) supplied the fact that it was arsenic, and linked to the wikipedia article on [[Rhazes]]. Next thing I knew, I was adding in the fact that [[Edward Kelley]] died while being imprisoned by Rudolph. A fact which has subsequently been somewhat amended, to no loss.
