I meant as opposed to Iain's "fucking druggie" statement! Probably should have quoted.

Nein!

thats a ridiculous comparison Albert Hofmann was researching the medicinal uses of fungus in treating metal illness' such as schizophrenia when he refined LSD, Joseph Mengele was a madman masquerading as a scientist

What about Einstein? he developed the theories that allowed the development of the atom bomb.

Now now, I'm sure a lot of what Mengele did could be adopted for medical science. I'm assuming his research wasn't restricted to what you see in The Boys From Brazil.

And the atom bomb was a brilliant invention. It shortened the Second World War by at least two years.

Interesting. According to.......?

Well, Japan had an honour code that had thus far prevented them from surrendering, even after the USA had used napalm on Tokyo (far more people died in Tokyo than Hiroshima). The fact that Japan did surrender a matter of days after the USA had 'dropped the bomb', in my opinion, shows that Japan realised that the USA really meant business. Had the USA had to continue going from island to island in the manner in which they had been doing since 1943, I reckon the Second World War in the Pacific would have continued for at least two more years after 1945, if not more.

Interesting, although it seems, although the firebombings killed around 100,000 people, it wasn't quite as many as Hiroshima.

Who cares?!

Fucking Gooks shouldn't have started it.

Get your facts right you mong.

The numbers are irrelevant; Japan were probably going to stick at it until the USA nuked them and so the atom bomb brought the War In the Pacific to an end.

Marvellous.

Hooray!

Read the drugs thread James you n00b!
I have quite a few times, it rules.

Shame about his death.

Tool's 'Lost Keys (Blame Hofmann)' and 'Rosetta Stoned' are based on this man, which makes both him and Tool amazing.

Though I have never done LSD and have no idea what it's like. But I do love Tool.

How did he die? Did he have trip and fall as a result of said trip?

ARF.

Nah, I expect he died of old age, since he was a very old man

102 or something.
