I loved the 'can't get rid of a bomb' comment, because of the double meaning of a bomb (the big, round explosive device) and a bomb (a movie that is disastrously bad).
You need to get one of these (not affiliated with the company. My wife spills stuff all the time, and so I bought this for her.) http://themightymug.com/
"like the time used by Oscar the Grouch of Sesame Street" I assume you mean "like the kind used by" Which brings up this question: Is this being written using voice-dictation software of some kind? "time" and "kind" are not similar in spelling, nor can their letters be interchanged by simple errors of keyboarding. They are only similar in sound. I cannot think of another way in which these words can be interchanged, except by a voice-recognition software.

A couple of links in, there is a page by the University of Florida with this note:
"Manchineel has been used to make furniture since colonial times, with the poisonous sap thought to become neutralized by drying the wood in the sun. However, those working with the fresh-cut wood must be careful, since interacting with the poisonous sap can be a strong irritant to any part of the body. "
Furniture! Maybe it could have been used to make torture racks for the Spanish Inquisition!
This summer, we made plum jam. The overripe plums went to our chickens (we have six hens). They would peck at the fruit with their beaks, and stain their beaks with plum juice, while bits of plum hung from them. I decided that the chickens like eating plums because they get to play "Jurassic Park".
My mother had a heart valve replaced in the late '70s. It involved open heart surgery, so she was on a heart-lung machine while the surgeons cut her chest apart, sawed through her ribcage, cut open her heart and replaced the valve. It was brutal, but she lived long enough to out-live her heart surgeon. It was amazing. My mother in law had her heart's aortic valve replaced three weeks ago. They threaded a long catheter through a vein in her leg that was pushed all the way into her heart. With a miracle of origami, the capsule on the end of the catheter was opened up inside her beating heart to displace the damaged valve and clamp onto the sides of the opening in one action. She was in the hospital overnight, and the next day we drove 230 miles back home from the hospital. She's watching TV in the living room. To think that I should have lived to see such wonders . . .

Appears to be a real thing.
