My Mater had Parkinsons and her meds were LSD related.
She used to save them up and take a big hit if she needed to be mobile for a while.
as well as having quite lucid conversations with imaginary people (and being somehow aware that they weren't real at the same time) she also used to hallucinate quite dramatically at times.
She had to stop with the practice when she screeched to a halt in the middle of the street (she was still driving at the time) and sprinted out of the car as she had 'seen' a giant meteor hurtling toward the ground.
The cop that came to check on her, after they traced her address from the car rego, was very understanding! Brought the car home for her, and suggested, nicely, that she maybe wanted to think about not driving any more!
She used to say "ehh Maxxx, I'm getting as mad as your Dad"

Wow. Sad story bro
No more Mister Nice Guy... >: |

Hey, no, not sad at all!
the sad bit was when she wasn't on her meds and could hardly move - frustrated her to hell.
She was an artist, and not being able to paint or sculpt really frustrated her.
Of course, when she was on the meds, her paintings were sometimes a little surreal...

Well, losing ones mind is sad to me. Running away from your car because of ilusionary meteor is sad.
I hope that I will be sane when I get old.

I'm sorry to disappoint you but I see no medical reason why your sanity should improve with age.

7 out of 10 people in my head agree that sanity is vastly overrated.
(2 feel pretty neutral about it, and 1 is constantly trying to claw at things, so who the hell knows what he thinks)
But in all seriousness, I have great respect for people who manage to get things done and function in society, while being in some sort of "insane" state. Being able to overcome mental problems is a skill I place in high regard.

Someone is paying money to keep that domain and site hosted? The grammar is so bad I don't even know what they are trying to say. Although I'm pretty sure I don't agree with anything they are trying to say.
When they look at their visitor stats they'll wonder what happened today.

Hadn't thought of that: a jump of around 10,000,000 visitors would be quite noticeable, wouldn't it?

in some circles, the TimeCube has become a unit of measurement for lunacy. "This guy is about .7 TCs." or "It's about .4 TimeCubes, but if you play around with the fonts, you could get it up to a .6 TC"

It's gotta be a joke. It looks like random computer generated crap.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

In fairness, the website is created in MS word.

WTF??? Pages and pages of... I have no idea. Should be funny but it isn't - it's sad that someone who is patently mentally ill is not getting care.

Damn you Griff. The only way you can rehabilitate yourself is by passing out a generous supply of mind bleach.
