The wealthy also used lead pipes to deliver water to their homes. Kinda helps explain why there was so much violent crazy in the upper classes ;p
I recall reading an article that hypothesized that the spike in crime during the 60/70/80s was primarily due to lead concentrations that demographic had received earlier in life (40s/50s/etc) and the real reason crime has decreased since then is because of the banning of leaded gasoline/paints/etc, which reduced lead in the environment, which in turn has reduced the level of violence/derpiness caused by prolonged lead exposure.
