The following is pure, romanticised conjecture sourced from a legend that may have little basis in truth. In fact, that such a woman should choose a potentially slow, painful, and far-from-guaranteed death is highly unlikely, and no evidence of snake bites can be found on her corpse, and such evidence would most likely still be quite plain on her remains if she had died thus.
However, it is said that when Cleopatra heard of the disaster at the battlefield, she knew that all was lost. She went into her tomb (pyramid) along with her two handmaidens and a basket of figs which contained two asps. Stories say that she did this because she would not know when she would die as she would be eating.
At the same time Mark Antony came to know that Cleopatra was dead. So he committed suicide. He was apparently brought to her tomb and died in her arms.
She married Marc Antony, and had 3 children, twins and another boy.
What where the sticks Cleopatra held?
Cleopatra or any other Egyptian ruler held the crook and flail which were symbols of their authority.
What are the chances of dying from piercing your own tongue?
It is certainly possible to do permanent damage when piercing your own tongue - including death. The risk of infection is extremely high (in fact, probable).
There are even health risks when getting your piercing done by a professional, though they are a lot less risky than doing a piercing yourself.
If you have good oral hygene and clean your piercing as directed you can probably avoid infection. However yes, if done on your own with your tools which will most likely not be sterile then you do run the risk of an inward travelling infection that would enter the brain and could kill you if not detected in time. I want to make it perfectly clear here, that cleaning your tools is not sterilizing them. You need and autoclave to sterilize anything otherwise it's just disinfecting does not sterilize the equipment.
The reasons you should not attempt to pierce your self should be obvious, but for those who think it's a "DIY" project, here's some food for thought.
Infection and contraction of MRSA, HIV, Meningitis, Hepatitis and Tetanus are all very serious health issues, MRSA is an antibiotic resistant bacteria that can in most cases land the unlucky individual in the hospital (and has been responsible for serious deformities and deaths). These infections has been caused by using unsterilized equipment and materials. Sterilization is not achieved by pouring alcohol over needles and jewellery, or burning these items over a fire or exposed flame. Microorganisms live in the fine fissures and cracks in needles and jewellery and only the high temperature and pressure of a steam Autoclave can render these and many other bacteria harmless.
The above reasons alone should be enough to sway anyone from thinking they can do it themselves. Professional body piercers have years of hands on training and education to enable them to make any piercing "look simple", when in fact they are considering dozens of things when they lay out a piercing and actually do it. So consider your lack of knowledge, training and skills before you attempt to do any self piercing, once you pierce it, it's damaged tissue. This makes it even more difficult for a professional piercer to leave you with a great looking piercing when the area we have to work with is damaged by self inflicted attempts.

Why was Alexandria in Egypt such an important ciry?
Alexandria was just about the most important city in the ancient world. It had an ideal location for climate and trade. It had the Lighthouse, one of the wonders of the ancient world and two harbors. It had the famous Library and the schools connected with it. The city itself was laid out with wide streets and open spaces and urban sprawl was strictly controlled. In other words, the capital city of the Ptolemies was the ideal city.
What two major mistakes did JP Morgan make in the building of the Titanic?
Weak rivets caused the hull to "unzip" when it was impacted. This is what caused the water tight compartments that kept the ship afloat to flood. If it wasn't for this, it is believed the Titanic would have stayed afloat for several more hours and given the Carpathia more than enough time to come and rescue all of the passengers.

What was Cleopatra's tomb like?
NO, Cleopatra did not have a tomb that was in a pyramid anyway. It is beleived that she was buried with Mark Antony. She lived and died past the time of pyramids. Update: Cleopatra and Mark Antony would have been entombed but that area of Alexandria suffered catastrophic earthquakes so that area where the tomb likely exists is under water. With the damages suffered to other structures it isn't likely to be intact. It was announced today (April 15, 2009) that a likely site has been discovered. It would be less likely that any remains exist. Like all stories of ships sinking into the ocean there are never any remains found.
What are some good leadership qualities?
The first and most important quality in being a good leader is that the leader will be understanding and supportive. Good leaders always take the blame for a loss, turnover, miss executed play, etc. If the problem wasn't the leader's fault, they won't blame anyone else; they either blame themselves, or don't say anything.
Leaders also know how to take charge. When the rest of the team seems confused, the leader will take control and guide the rest of the members.
Leaders know how to stay calm under pressure. While normal people may crack or feel flustered, leaders know how to guide their team to victory and stay cool.
Leaders also must have confidence in their teem members, to have a good communication and, to let your teem mates improve themselves. If a mistake is done, the leader will accept the mistake and take that mistake to improve the teem.
Bravery, Confident, Intellegent, Smart, and Independent.
