That could mean either that people are different. Take my word, they are!!! or that the same herb from different sources can be different. Did any one ever suspect that.

When do we start believing in the effect of groups and mobs. The same society or mob reacts differently in different situations at different points of time.
My belief: There are no absolutes, no ultimates and no similarities for all at all times.

I had a fart just now, the chemistry of which was quite amazing, let me tell you.

I think what's even weirer than a fart is how good it feels to be scratched,
and how strange we feel interacting with our Home Planet.

Don't know whether this is true or not, but I read about British Marines receiving a few cans of asparagus in their survival kits in WWII. When they're stranded on some remote beach somewhere awaiting rescue, they eat the asparagus and then pee in the surf an hour or so later - armed with their fishing lines. Apparently asparagus in your urine is irresistable to fish! ...or so the story goes.
