Re: Sleep
Funny; I think spoiled meat is just spoiled, not too poisonous.
But plants are the things that can be truly poisonous. Even one wrong mushroom, for example, can destroy the liver in a few hours. And some "deadly Nightshade" plant parts are actually deadly (like Datura; Jimsonweed; Castor Bean; "Ricin" comes from it). The Oleander plants that so many grow here in the desert as landscape plants are pretty bad, too: one leaf can kill a cat or a dog, and give a human hallucinations of green geometric figures flying toward you, before you die of heart-arrhythmia (it's reported: this is not my experience
).

Re: Sleep
Since the word used in at least some early accounts was “pork” and vegetarianism seems to have become part of the Indian scene long after the Buddha’s death some historians believe it was meat. Some believe
that the Buddha was an early vegetarian and that “pork” must have meant a mushroom that resembled pork and was called by the same name. There is no claim that I am aware of that the donor of the meal deliberately poisoned the Buddha. There are religious accounts claim the “omniscient Buddha” knew there was bad food, but, obedient to the rule that you eat what you are given, ate it anyway. Accounts agree that over the following days Buddha complained of stomach trouble and showed symptoms consist with food poisoning. There is a lot out there that can kill you including bad meat, bad mushroom, or badly prepared food. Hence we are chant at Zen services (roughly paraphrased): “Be careful! Work diligently! Life and death are fleeting.”

Re: The Buddha’s Death
Just to be a wise-guy for once, I'll say that "rumors of the Buddha's death have been greatly exaggerated".
I understand there is a Buddha in each of us. So, the feller didn't die, nor even move to a place that's not Kansas anymore.
Well, now I'm out of jokes. Strong practice, everybody!
