Dr. Albert Hofmann

11 January 1906 - 29 April 2008
102 years, 3 months, 19 days and a couple minutes or so...

Daddy of LSD Ladies and Gentlemen! See!! You too can live to be 102 years old. An informant, well, informed me today that for our age the life expectancy is 92 for women and 90 for men. I'm thrilled as a pig in shit at the prospect of living here for another 65 years! Maybe I will see the first muslim president!!

But more on Al... oh wow... apparently he found Salvia in Mexico while traveling with his wife in the 60s (how appropriate). I know someone who recently had what was likely a seizure doing that shit.
