My Dad once ate two bars of dark cooking chocolate. He said he got some odd visual distortions; flickering auras around things, and size distortions where small things looked big and big things looked small.
I understand that chocolate does contain chemicals which are actually moderately toxic. (It just doesn't contain very much of them - or at least, the normal *milk* chocolate doesn't. Dark chocolate would presumably contain more of these.) For what it's worth, 80% of my diet is cheese, and 10% is chocolate. Apparently that particular combination is supposed to have all sorts of dire effects (including severe headaches). I suffer no such symptoms that I'm aware of. Never have. (But then, people tell me they get a "lift" from caffine, and I find no such effect. Nor do I have severe withdrawal symptoms when I stop taking it.) Maybe I'm just weird? (Oh, wait... I use Haskell!) In other news... apparently chocolate is leathaly toxic to dogs. Random.
