Jay Leno usually has good jokes when people famous for something die, I will refrain from trying to come up with some clever comment.

Maybe something like:

Albert Hoffman (inventor of the Psychotropic drug LSD) died yesterday in his home after "tripping" over his pet cat.


Rim shot please!! ;-)

It's amazing the stuff these eggheads come up with, like his Mom probably figured why couldn't he be like the other normal kids and dribble a basketball or go camping or catch a nice bluegill on a cane pole? ("So what do you want do do when you grow up? "Ummm...invent an evil mind-blowing drug.") Parents: "Where did we go wrong?" I don't know what's up with these intellectuals, Einstein came up with the formula for the atomic bomb and Hoffman comes up with acid. It's like maybe too much intelligence is a bad thing, dunno.

But, it's like Hoffman explained when he said he just invented it. A rope can do a person a whole lot of good if it's used properly. But then, it can also be used in a great number of other improper ways too.

There were times I turned off my mind only to relax and float down stream.

I certainly don't blame Hoffman for that.
