96 Potheads are going to jail in San Diego

96 frat kids arrested after raid on San Diego Campus (reported by the Los Angeles Times). Proof yet again, that hiding things in the wide open just makes them easy to find. I wonder if someone actually said that it was only green cereal. Genius planning frat boys. Next time hide the pot in your mattress. And i wonder if any of them were stoned when the cops came in? The only way this could have been better is if the ASU cheerleaders were involved.

Fat For Good, Fat For Life

Scientists in Sweden have found that your fat cells are set at birth, and no amount of dieting will ever change that number. Well, the good thing is that not all fat cells have to be active fat cells, but the news is that once you have them they are always crying out for more. Another thing to watch out for (although if you are reading this its too late for you) fat cells increase in number during childhood but once adolescence is reached do not change in number. Keep your kids thin is the point i guess.

Last rides on the wheel tonight. Say goodbye Santa Monicans to your Pacific Ferris Wheel. The good news is that the rides today are free. They actually have been all week.

How Bad is The U.S. Economy- Drug Dealers Don’t Want Anything To Do With It

It looks like not only is the U.S. Economy completely falling apart but now we won’t even be able to get high. Cocaine, my friends, among other illicit substances, is leaving the states for the greater continental Europe. The BBC reports the strength of the Euro may be increasing availability of cocaine in Europe and explaining the decline of supply (I need my coke) in the U.S. After all drug dealers are just business men, we can’t blame them or taking their product somewhere else. All we can do now is hope for the cut shit to keep coming in. I gotta call my connection and buy some 2008 options on this.

The Euro has been beating up on the Dollar for a while now on Friday the Euro hit $1.5825. I guess going to Europe to buy the coke is out of the question at this point. Well at least we still have pot- we do still have pot right? Don’t take the pot away please don’t…….
