No one knows how Alexander the Great died, but its pretty accpepted that it was probably Malaria. Not overeating. Once I overate and you know what happened. I vomited. I didn't fall ill for 10 days. I vomited and then was fine. I refuse to read on, because the Alexander one is stupid. And Alexander was a very active strong man. He was in no way obese. I stopped reading at Alexander the Great.

Up until quite recent times it would not be thought uncommon for a man to die in his 50's or even his 40's. I enjoyed this but it is neccesary to have some perspective about life expectancy in the 19th century.

Remoras are the fish that attach to sharks and scavenge off the scraps of the shark feeding and are not often eaten by people. Lampreys are a parasitic eel that mostly prey on smaller fish. The text was also most likely mistaken in that lampreys have never really been a food item but the hagfish, another similar creature, is eaten all over the world and has been for centuries.
