Who could be said to have died of to much artificial light in a Homonym-ic sort of way

Someone who's profession relied upon the dark?

Homonymic light: Are we talking about weight-loss here?

Artificial: This suggests a diet of something "non-food". Sweeteners?

TRiG.

No Clive

Homonym - ic TRiG spaceing is relevent

Dieting definatly not weight loss

Hmmm.


If you take off the last two letters of "artifical" you get "artific" which could sound like "artifice" - a clever or cunning device.


Which brings me to the ungrammatical use of "to" instead of "too" (meaning excessive)

so "To Much" - I'm guessing is significant but haven;t yet worked out of what.

Madame Curie ... ?

I was tumours brought about by radium, but that's not quite what did for her.

I was thinking tumours brought about by radium, but that's not quite what did for her.

Her hubby was run down by a horse and cart.

She got two Nobel prizes - one for physics, the other for chemistry if memory serves me correctly.

Way off most of you, sorry

Too much artificial light?

Not enough sunlight?

Vitamin 'A' deficiency????

Too much artificial light? Mmmmmm! but not as you ment it I think

Does this have anything to do with Lucy? She's a hominin and her name means 'Light'?

No Jack but at least you are thinking

Victims of phossy jaw?

Well, a homonym is a word that sounds like another. So something that sounds like artifical light, or form of artifical light? Sounds like Neon?

Hold on, what's that line from Motorcycle Emptiness? 'I'm nutty on loneliness', or 'Under neon loneliness'. It's an often mis-heard line, I believe.

So is it the original lead singer of the Manic Street Preachers? He disappeared in mysterious circumstances, as I recall, and has never been seen since. I can't remember his name now.

Sorry if I've jumped to the end already - I was just bouncing thoughts off the screen.

Is it the surfeit of lamp-reys guy? King somebody the something. One of the Edwards I think.

I've just asked my sister, and she says it was Henry No. 1.

I have heard of that!!

One of the wierd causes of death written on death certificates by pre-Victorian doctors....

A Surfeit of Lampreys....

Another was 'A Rising of the Lights'.....
