The term that describes the optical trick of swelling columns at midpoint, which was used in the design of the Parthenon is entasis.
If you take a look at the ancient Greek columns, you will see that they are a bit wider in the middle - so the column is not completely straight, but rather swells up in the middle so as to "correct the visual illusion of concavity." It was often used by artists in the ancient Greek times.

Yes. Potentially you can die. You would most likely become very ill as the bacteria will build up and when you eat it the bacteria will give you food poisoning symptoms (vomiting, diarrhea).  If it is severe it can cause dehydration. It is dehydration that would cause organ failure and potentially death.
