Acknowledged; nothing is not connected. I have been known to get carried away myself they say.

I hope someday to have the perps exposed. As to the Grimms, I have a rather serious misconception of their stories it seems; they collected the stories orally, not authored them.

They eventually discovered that one of the easiest ways to convince older local residents to give them lengthy examples of their natural speech was to ask the residents to tell their favorite stories to the brothers. As the brothers recorded the style of speech of the speaker for their research (which eventually led to the formulation of Grimm's Law), they also recorded the various stories that they were told, and eventually published them (in 1817). The stories became immensely popular, and were widely reprinted. Ironically, the brothers are now most widely known for these collections of stories, which were essentially an unexpected byproduct of the linguistic research which was their primary goal.

I would like to find more on the circumstance of the DMT synthesis in 1936. Hey...a bit off topic, but if you just put a year (1936 for example) into Wicky you get a sweet history lesson.
