- panicbombs, on 08/04/2008, -9/+414That picture looks like a good hearty breakfast.
- sonar1, on 08/04/2008, -13/+393There are two major products that came out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We don't believe this to be a coincidence.
- feshmania, on 08/04/2008, -14/+341Worst product to come from getting high? White dudes with dreadlocks.
- bengraver, on 11/23/2009, -8/+256"If you don’t believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor. Go home tonight and take all your albums, all your tapes, and all your CDs and burn them. Because you know what? All those musicians who made that great music that’s enhanced our lives throughout the years? Real *****’ high on drugs." -- Bill Hicks

- PSotter, on 08/04/2008, -2/+101Kary Mullis, total stoner, thought up the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) while tripping balls on LSD and completely revolutionized biotechnology for which he won the Nobel prize in 1993. Nearly ALL of biological and medical research is conducted using this method and we would be hopelessely stuck in the 70s (scientifically) without it.
- spinchange, on 08/04/2008, -0/+79the cross-pollinated descendant distro is FreeLSD
- inactive, on 08/04/2008, -15/+92It really makes me want to see this new movie called Pineapple Express.

- Asdfglpwglion, on 08/04/2008, -4/+62I realise that you are being humorous, but LSD was discovered by a Swiss guy in Switzerland
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Hofmann - inactive, on 08/04/2008, -9/+67music today is horrible because there's not enough drug usage.
- houndeyex, on 08/04/2008, -6/+59Where else do Swiss guys come from?
- Namaha, on 08/04/2008, -10/+59Moses: "Guys! Guys! God just talked to me as a burning bush!"
Random Hebrew: "...S-Sure he did. Moses, we think maybe you've been burnin' some bush..."
-Jim Gaffigan - galvo, on 08/04/2008, -24/+70The Bible was definitely written by some dude smoking way too much weed and taking way too much ergot.
- 5xSTUN, on 08/04/2008, -5/+50I think that it's hilarious that the most vociferous adherents of ancient, drug-fueled religions will gleefully support our draconian anti-drug laws, promising long stretches in prison for those who would experience the very types of hallucinations that are written down in every holy book in the world. Read the Book of Revelation sometime... that was a shroom trip if I've ever heard one.
- lnf69, on 08/04/2008, -1/+33I told my boss Digg is important for my research. I think I would have a hard time selling cracked.com as such.
anyway.....
on a more serious note:
Sir Arthur Canon Doyle was a dope addict and usually stoned while writing, that's why he made Sherlock Holmes a dope addict.
I've also heard similar rumors about Charles Lutwidge Dodgson/Lewis Carrol (Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass).
Also, Ken Keasy was on LCD and worked in a mental hospital, which was his inspiration for One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
I just wanted to add that to the list, but perhaps the list was more of a joke. - bunkka, on 08/04/2008, -1/+33not all music...electronic music is at its best
- pinguy, on 08/04/2008, -1/+33Why would cracked.com be blocked but not digg?
anyway.

- jorichter, on 08/04/2008, -3/+32OM NOM NOM NOM
I am so sorry... It fit... - Namakemono, on 08/04/2008, -1/+30This coming from a magazine called "Cracked".
- chemchris, on 08/04/2008, -0/+24correct, it was Rosalind Franklin. W & C took her xray pictures from her and published their results first.
You could add Kekule to this list though. He was the first to propose the cyclic structure of benzene (though the formula was known prior.) He envisioned the structure while tripping on LSD and looking into his fireplace, where he was a dragon eating its own tail and related it to the ring structure of the molecule. - cheekdog, on 08/04/2008, -1/+24"But baseball history was the last thing on Ellis' mind, keeping his ***** together while a bunch of giant lizards ***** in the on-deck circle being the first." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
- txtphile, on 08/04/2008, -2/+24"Drug dealers don't sell drugs. Drugs sell themselves. It's crack. It's not an encyclopedia. It's not a ***** vacuum cleaner. You don't really gotta try to sell crack. Ok?
I've never heard a crack dealer going "Man, how am I gonna get rid of all this crack?!"
-Chris Rock - TomSawyer, on 08/04/2008, -2/+24You're also wrong about UNIX. It came from New Jersey.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_labs#1970s - bullox, on 08/04/2008, -0/+20I don't smoke weed, and I don't pretend that I'm above anyone who does.
- WiretapStudios, on 08/04/2008, -4/+24Their mothers vaginas.
- bullox, on 08/04/2008, -2/+20Step off the soapbox and preach to someone who will give a *****.
- hauntedchippy, on 08/04/2008, -0/+18That's your five main foodgroups right there
- RoccoMcTaco, on 08/04/2008, -0/+18That would be the opposite of this article.
- 8randon, on 08/04/2008, -0/+17ya, it's pretty amazing. but still, the article fails to mention that ellis had EIGHT walks and even hit a batter..
http://www.snopes.com/sports/baseball/ellis.asp - edwardmluk, on 08/04/2008, -2/+19Where's the Charlie Murphy/Rick James shenanigans?
- bweltondav, on 08/04/2008, -0/+16You need a hearty breakfast when you're about to venture into bat country.
- purzzzell, on 08/04/2008, -4/+20Yeah, but Timothy Leary, who got his PhD and was an assistant professor at Berkeley, is credited with spreading and popularizing LSD in the US.
- holyreality, on 08/04/2008, -3/+19kinda makes me want to drop at least 3 of those 15 hits of acid in my desk right now....
- aristone, on 08/04/2008, -1/+16++ PSotter, Kary should have definitely been on the list.
His drug use was the reason he was NOT used as an expert witness for the infamous OJ Simpson trial. - zombies187, on 08/04/2008, -0/+15You should come over and get high...
- enjoyincubus19, on 08/04/2008, -0/+14Did you read the article? Can you read at all?
- NSResponder, on 08/04/2008, -3/+16No, white chicks with dreadlocks are far worse.
-jcr - boojoy, on 08/04/2008, -3/+15...sigh....
- dizilbdog, on 08/04/2008, -8/+20Ahhh now I see why drugs are illegal in the United States it's so we don't get ideas and use them to better the earth and the world and human kind. Ahhh now I see thank you marijuana he he.
- MRintheKeys, on 08/04/2008, -1/+13So am I....but I'm getting baked first......
- Ayavaron, on 08/04/2008, -4/+15@houndeyex
It could've been invented by a Swiss guy while he was in Germany or something like that. There's nothing wrong with a little clarification. - zombies187, on 08/04/2008, -0/+11That would be not very funny and too long. I would have to bury it.
- brstilson, on 08/04/2008, -4/+15They forgot one:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosalind_Franklin - beaverfetus, on 08/04/2008, -13/+24I call a big BS on the first entry about DNA.
the discovery of DNA has been described by many times by journalists including James Watson, and Francis Crick was neither high nor the person to come up with the idea of the double helix.
He was instrumental in helping Watson actually turn the vague idea of a double helix into a model that made scientific sense, and convincing x-ray crystallographers that they had something. -
