Careful with that Axe, Eugene

Ordinarily, the lies on the news are about the righteousness of drone strikes or how bankers are your friends but there are much better lies than that.  According to this one, some Italian guy ate fifty grams of magic mushrooms at Glastonbury and went trippin' for two years.  (Wunderground:  Italian Man Missing Since Glastonbury 2011 Found Wandering The English Countryside)

There's only one mushroom that will trip you that much, Amanita muscaria, and it's called Alice in Wonderland by its fans.  There is only one problem with taking that much of it.  Amanita muscaria is quite poisonous and will definitely kill you.  In small doses you will trip in a big way but large doses are fatal.  This is fun if you like Russian Roulette, throwing snowballs at police cars, or telling a woman her new jeans really do make her ass look fat.

So fifty grams of magic mushrooms make a nice handful and will definitely send you trippin'.  But two years??  No possible chance.  Mushrooms don't even trip you for two days ... although it would be swell if they did.  I really like mushrooms.

My theory on this subject is that our Italian Stallion spotted himself a mushroom lady during the Glastonbury concert and wound up doing what Italian Stallions do.  They lived in mushroom bliss for two years but then the mushrooms ran out.  Then he had to find a way to hook back up with his original English hippie girl again and also explain how he has so much overstayed his visa.

Yah, I was trippin' so hard that I was wandering around the forest all that time.  Yah, that's what happened, Baby.  You've got to believe me.
