According to the Daily Telegraph (UK), scientists recently discovered evidence suggesting that prehistoric man liked to get high in the Stone Age. Well, at least it explains those trippy cave drawings and funky clothing...
The Telegraph reports that researchers found equipment on the Caribbean island of Carriacou, dating back to 400 BC, used to prepare hallucinogenic drugs for sniffing. The so-called "drug paraphernalia" included ceramic bowls, as well as tubes, for inhaling cohoba, a hallucinogen made from mimosa beans and used by South American tribes "to induce spiritual or trance-like states."
Though actually kind of funny, this story didn't exactly warrant a slideshow to detail man's early history of drug use. In my opinion, this story seemed more "half-baked" than newsworthy. I' m sure the Geico Cavemen aren't the least bit amused.

Dear Ashley,
I have all my stuff ready to make a movie over there at Fairchild Tropical Gardens. I went there today to scope the place out. Lovely place. If you want to join me, we could use this place to make our picture show (or whatever you want to call it). It would also be more fun with someone else from my class. My e-mail is bairavi@bellsouth.net
