From the BBC, via David Thompson, comes news that coffee may help you hallucinate better! Is there anything it can’t do?
Sometimes, when I have seven or more cups of the stuff (I don’t do instant except in dire straits), I get the distinct, momentary impression that I’m awake. That’s pretty strange shit right there.

Funny, I’d always chalked it up to the tinnitus borne of unprotected earbones (well, ok, whiskers) exposed to too many power tools and explosions, but yeah, now that yer askin’ I’ll take another cup, thanks!
I’ll tell you what’s almost as potent: Beer. I have enough of those babies and I start talking out of my ass. (Yes, yes, yes, trolls, I must be drinking it all the time).
Wonder what ghosts they were hearing?
While vacationing in Hawaii, I had two Irish Car Bombs. It’s the closest I’ve come to hallucinating since the 70’s.
S’funny, it’s never happened to me and I drink coffee all day; no instant though-EVAH!…
But Irish car bombs..? Well that’s a different story! If my intake of that wondrous appelation exceeds 4 per hour then I begin to hear the Clancy brothers singing “Whiskey in the jar”!
“They also stress that experiencing hallucinations is not a definite sign of mental illness and that about 3% of people regularly hear voices.”
I guess that parsnip and assclown can relax; but they probably shouldn’t cancel the therapy sessions just yet…

And even stranger; that hairy swamp beast suddenly became not unattractive.
Perhaps there is something in instant coffee?

On cup number six right now.
You mean like Ace Ventura?
