I hope Hizzys grave doesn't wash away. Do they bury people underground down there?

Today is Bicycle Day, but before you start wheeling out the deadly treadly, you might want to look a bit closer at what the day actually marks.

Bicycle Day celebrates Swiss scientist Albert Hofmann's discovery of lysergic acid diethylamide or LSD in 1943, and the subsequent, and at times harrowing, ride home on his bicycle after deliberately ingesting a dose of the drug.

Stephen Bright from Curtin University's School of Psychology conceded it might seem a little odd to celebrate the discovery of an illegal drug, but said there was much more to LSD than many people realised.

Dr Bright said the discovery of LSD's psychedelic properties led to a new understanding of the brain, and a paradigm shift in psychiatry.

"LSD itself was also found to be effective in treating a range of mental disorders in the context of psychotherapy, including addiction, anxiety and depression," he said.

"Just one or two sessions of LSD-assisted psychotherapy were found to have profound, rapid and long-lasting positive effects with little need for further interventions.

"So by the early 1970s there were over 1,000 papers published on LSD, and it had been given to at least 10,000 patients."

Dr Bright said LSD was a very safe drug when given in controlled doses in a controlled setting.

"LSD is has a very, very low acute toxicity," he said.

"There's been no reported overdose in the literature from LSD, and the same cannot be said of psychiatric medications that are currently being used today."

So, April 19th is in honor of LSD and tomorrow in honor of weed? April flowers, I guess.

LSD was also used on British soldiers during the war...but I can't remember if the Germans did it against the Brits or the Brits did it to themselves for some strange reason.

"Stephen Bright from Curtin University's School of Psychology conceded it might seem a little odd to celebrate the discovery of an illegal drug"

It wasn't illegal when it was discovered (obviously), nor did it become illegal in the U.S. until about 25 years later, once the CIA and the military figured out there was no sinister use toward which they could put it...

I have been reading a lot about LSD micro-dosing lately. Evidently, it's become very popular amongst Wall Street types. Needless to say, it was very popular (taking LSD, not necessarily in micro-doses) in Silicon Valley. It could be argued that the current technology we all enjoy wouldn't have been possible without LSD...

Women are women's worst enemy. Men are often a convenient scapegoat, but it really is gay men and women who cut down the most.

two mona lisas were painted - one by an apprentice at the same time DaVinci painted the original. The apprentice's painting was preserved and shows what the colors look like originally

I wonder if they're going to preserve that painting of Jesus that the old lady in Spain turned into a monkey?

One of our truckers just came in here and said he knows somebody who knows me: DS. Said DS has been his lawyer for about 3 years, just got a case settled for him. Said he liked DS b/c he was a straight shooter.. "and a trip". This is likely the only client DS will ever have who is more rotund than he is...
