Ya know who's NOT dead?

[Dookus]

Dr. Albert Hoffman. He's 98 years old.

In 1938 he synthesized LSD. Rock on with your bad self, Al.

[jpgray]

1. He helped singlehandedly lower the curve in O-Chem classes

:D

[skypilot]

2. Wow.

He outlived Timothy Leary. Hoffman must have the good shit.

[Dookus]

4. lol

wouldn't it be funny if it turns acid extends life?

If true, I ain't never gonna die.

[skypilot]

8. If you took acid everyday...

...I bet it would feel as though your life was being extended. I don't know about you but time would slow to a crawl when I dropped acid. That was not a good thing during the one bad trip I had.

[terrya]

3. I was shocked to read that Richard Widmark is still alive.

In his 90's, I believe. Still around.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

5. Mr Bicycle Day himself

So much for acid killing you!

[Screaming Lord Byron]

6. Fay Wray is also not dead.

[skypilot]

11. You're kidding!!!

Are you serious?

[Dookus]

12. Yup... she's alive

she has a cameo in the upcoming King Kong remake.

[skypilot]

16. Another "King Kong" remake???

My God. Did you see the one 1975 remake with Jessica Lange? One of the most racist movies I've ever seen. I was stunned.

[Dookus]

19. this one should be interesting...

directed by Peter Jackson and starring, believe it or not, Jack Black. Also with Adrien Brody and Naomi Watts.

[skypilot]

23. Will Jack Black be playing King Kong?

Adrien Brody will certainly be the beauty next to that beast.

Actually, I just kidding. Jack Black is cute in a cuddly bear cub kinda way.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

13. Yep. She should have a small role in the remake of King Kong.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

17. Here's her photo.

[skypilot]

26. Not looking too shabby for 98 years old.

[flamingyouth]

7. I wonder if he'll still share?

:freak:

[elperromagico]

15. Get some for me too.

I feel like gaining a new appreciation for the works of Jackson Pollack. ;)

[flamingyouth]

20. And I've got some really trippy poetry I've got to get down on paper

:D

[elperromagico]

21. And I've always been curious about William Hung's popularity.

:)

[flamingyouth]

22. OK, that might make for a bad trip for me

But I'm willing to give it a shot!:D

[elperromagico]

24. I tried to explore his popularity

while under the influence of what Rick James might call "the Stickiest of the Icky," but I still came to the conclusion that he sucked. So, I figure I need something a little stronger.

BTW, I went and got the video of Broken Blossoms this week. Surely you've seen it. :)

[underpants]

9. Abe Vigoda?

:shrug:

[Dookus]

14. Yes, Abe's alive

The man most famous for NOT being dead.

[sui generis]

10. Ann Coulter is still alive too

living proof that overdosing on acid and living in a permanent flashback won't kill you.

[bobthedrummer]

18. Angie Bowie is alive and living in Arizona.

:loveya:

[Gildor Inglorion]

27. he, also, invented hydergine (Sandoz Pharmaceuticals), a 'smart drug'

& deemed life extender ... healing damaged cells ... possibly slowing down the aging process ....

Hydergine is known to have all the following effects:

- Increase blood supply to the brain.
- Increase oxygen delivered to the brain.
- Enhance metabolism of brain cells.
- Protect the brain from insufficient oxygen supply.
- Slow the deposit of the age pigment lipofuscin in the brain.
- Prevent free radical damage to brain cells.
- Increase intelligence, memory, learning and recall

free radical damage to our brain cells is an aging enabler

"Hydergine is an ergoloid mesylate, (derived from rye) and it has become one of the world's most useful and popular smart drugs. Hydergine enhances mental abilities and lengthens the period of intense mental workload by improving, (and indeed stabilizing) oxygen supply to the brain."

http://www.antiaging-systems.com/a2z/hydergine.htm

"Hydergine is also known to protect the brain and the heart from free radical damage and can improve the number and ability of brain dendrites to connect, and therefore has even been cited as an intelligence improver. Brain dendrites decline with age and hydergine's ability to support and nurture them, is an important anti-aging function. Hydergine is also known to improve brain glucose uptake, and to help remove to an age-related cell toxin called lipofuscin."
