A "no smoking cannabis" sign put up in Amsterdam has proved so popular with souvenir hunters that authorities are now giving the chance for it to be bought legally. The sign in the De Baarsjes district has had to be replaced three times in a week, Rinze van Opstal of the district board said on Monday, but more than 350 would-be purchasers have already ordered replicas at €90 ($107) apiece. "It is an overwhelming success, we were expecting between 10 and 20 potential buyers," he said. The proceeds of the sale of the signs will go to charity. More than 75% of the would-be buyers are from the United States, many of whom had seen it on the internet. The local ordinanc…

Almost every one has heard about experiments and theories on plants and music. On Tuesday night I saw a new episode? of Myth Busters that did the plants and music test. They set up identical green houses (GH's) on a roof top factory and played through tape recording hard core thrash (Pantera? etc), classical, human abuse , human 'love' messages and a 'control' green house which was left on its own 'natural' devices. They played through recordings to avoid entering the GH's and to keep even human CO2 levels even. THey grew about 10 seedlings of 'bush beans' (must be yank term ?!) and left them in the GH's for 30 days. After 30 days they pulled all the plants out and weig…

For small children, bedtime is story time, a cherished moment each night to get toasty in jammies and settle down with teddy bears, blankies, and tales of fuzzy animals, fairies, the stars and moon -- and partisan politics. What?! These days, even kids books aren't free from the venom being spewed back and forth in the ongoing civil war between the left and right. Here are some recent titles that might call themselves "children's literature" but are nothing more than political propaganda with all the subtlety of a fox in socks. "It's Just a Plant: A Children's Story of Marijuana" by Ricardo Cortes. (Magic Propaganda Mill, 44 pp., $18.95). The story: After …

Turns out the Cheech & Chong reunion we've all being hearing rumours about is pretty much just that unfortunately. CheechandChong.com caught up with Cheech Marin at the recent Latinologues Press Conference in New York and asked about the progress on the movie, apparently Cheech didn't seem comfortable talking about it and told them the script had never been finalized between him and Tommy Chong. I'm sure we would all love to see Cheech & Chong at it again. source: http://www.cheechandchong.com/newsstories.html
