Yes, I know what I wrote in the comments box for my Edit had an error. I wrote: "Ne plus altra was misspelt, and the phrase is too obscure". The altra was a typo, it's "ne plus ultra" and means "the very best of".

Strictly speaking, ne plus ultra means "not more beyond" or "nothing more beyond". Jhobson1 (talk) 12:16, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I can't remember much detail, or i would add it and see if it's found to be encyclopedic: there was a stir in the late 1960s or early 1970s about the new edition of LG endorsing the consumption of rhubarb leaves, of which 25 g. (less than an ounce) is likely to kill you due to their high content of oxalic acid. --Jerzy (t) 18:17, 2004 Nov 5 (UTC)

25 grams of oxalic acid will.kill you, not 25g of leaves. In fact, 25g of acid correspond to about 8kg of leaves.
