Magic Mushrooms: The Next Medicinal Marijuana?

Researchers have discovered that people who “shroom” can have an increased level of happiness as much as 14 months later, more on the study. For chronically depressed people (read:me), this could be a life saver…literally. I have in fact taken them when they were legal in Amsterdam and I have to say, I do think it really helped my mood for a long while afterwards.

Pot and prozac do not do this. Nothing legal in the US does this.

Personally, I think more “drugs” should be legal, as a person should be able to do whatever they want to their body. But when it comes to something like this, where it can have major benefits for the person taking it and they don’t hurt anyone by taking it, why the hell isn’t it legal?

These Hats Are Sew Strange

I ran across this girl’s site on MySpace and I’m in love with her hats. They are so cute and playful. Although they look very Japanese street chic, they’re made by hand, right here in the USA.

If you have any requests, she’ll custom make you one for the right price. Check out Sew Strange’s website for more cute peices like this.

My obsession with Invader Zim makes me really want the cute Girr hat. Anyway, go check them out!

Stupidest Products (or ideas) Ever

Another Great Terrible Invention

Good old InventorSpot has discovered US patent 4150505, the bird trap and cat feeder. Why buy your cat food when you can trick innocent birds to enter your trap and become kitty’s dinner?

I don’t imagine most cats would actually be that into this idea though. They seem to like hunting, and not fish in a barrel style.

Aside from that, it seems exceptionally unlikely that a bird would just sit there while the trap started opening. They have these crazy things, they’re called wings.

If a bird did manage to get caught, I would be worried it was sick -and thus, I certainly would NOT want my pet eating it.

All over, this has “Stupidest Products Ever” written all over it.
