  6. http://www.phish.net/faq/420explanations.html Why else is 420 important? There are a variety of explanations besides the most common and the most elaborate, all much more interesting than "police code", and many plausible. Known Myths: It isn't police code. It isn't the number of chemicals in marijuana (315, not 420). And it isn't tea time in Amsterdam (that's 5:30). (Gerhard den Hollander). Length of buzz: In a study reportedly conducted on the effects of cannabis, one of the conclusions was that the effects last for 4 hours and 20 seconds, with onset in the first ten minutes, "coming up" for 5-10 minus, a plateau for 15-30, "coming down" for 45-60 minutes, and "after effects" for 30-60 minutes, with this graphic summarizing the high: (Cole Smith) Sixties Songs: For instance, Bob Dylan's famous "Rainy Day Women #12 and 35" is a possible reference, or source -- 12x35=420. And Stephen Stills wrote (and Crosby Stills Nash & Young performed) a song "4+20" (first recorded 7/16/69, released on Deja Vu 3/11/70) about an 24-year-old poverty-stricken man who started and finished with nothing. (Thanks to Sherry Keel 12/6/98; and Matt Cantor, 2/12/03.) Dylan aslo mentions "4 and 20 windows" in "The Balland of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest" (on John Wesley Harding). Older Verse: But 420 in poetry is older than that... Greg Keller notes the old nursery rhyme line, "four and twenty black birds baked in a pie". Revelation 5:14 (in the King James Version of the Christian Bible) reads, "And the four beasts said 'A-Men.' And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever." (Travis Spurley 2/15/99) Mark 4:20 (which was printed on t-shirts in the late 1980s) reads ""Others like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop - thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times what was sown." (Althea Toldme) See also, 420 in the Bible. In Midnight's_Children, Salman Rushdie wrote, "Inevitably, a number of these children failed to survive. Malnutrition, disease and the misfortunes of everyday life had accounted for no less than four hundred and twenty of them by the time I became conscious of their existence; although it is possible to hypothesize that these deaths, too, had their purpose, since 420 has been, since time immemorial, the number associated with fraud, deception and trickery." (Comet 2/14/98) Comet's "best guess is that this refers to something in Indian mythology or numerology, since the book is set in India and frequently involves Indian history, culture, and religion. Given the high interest in Eastern religion among the phish/dead community, this seems a likely origin of 420's current significance." Temporal Significance: "Hands on analog clock at 4:20 look like position of doobie dangling from mouth" "Larry in Tuscan" and Alex Mack 5/19/99). Disruptive students are out of detention and safetly away from school by 4:20, also rumored to be "the time that you should dose to be peaking when the Dead went on stage" Hart. "The Waldos" were a group of teens back in the 70's that lived in San Rafael, CA. 420 was the way they talked about pot in front of teachers, non-smoking family members etc. Also it was the time of day they could just go relax, and get baked." ("PhunkCellar") Jamaicans purportedly "worked till 4 then walked home then lit up. They would talk 420 like our parents talked about after 5. That's when partying began" "Larry in Tuscan"). Albert (not Abbie) Hofmann supposedly first encountered LSD at 4:20 p.m. on 4/19/1943 (Bart Coleman citing Storming Heaven by Jay Stevens, recommended by Mickey Hart in Planet Drum). Surrealist painter Miro was born April 20, 1893. And www.filmspeed.com says the propoganda film Reefer Madness has a copyright date of April 20, 1936 (i.e. 4/20). (Patrick Woolford) Misc: Could be that it comes from hydroponics, the practice of cultivating plants in water often used by indoor marijuana cultivators, since 4 is used for H on a calculator (420/H20). (Nick Lowe 3/30/00) The number 80 (eight) is "quatre vingt" (pronounced "cah-truh vahn"), meaning "four (times} twenty". Dan Nijjar 1/27/00 (No connection yet between the number 80 and pot. A quarter pound is roughly 120 grams, rounding quarter-ounces to 7.5.) The titanic was supposed to arrive 4/20/1912. (Thanks to RB.) Perhaps the heavy use of vt420 terminals in the Berkeley area is to blame? (BTW, 420 in binary code is 110100100.)
  7. yes you are... I love the backwards baseball cap.. very cute
  8. I've only done tandems because I've been afraid to do anything more and rode the plane back down on my AFF1 . But even if I never take that leap and do it on my own , my life is forever changed by those jumps that I did do. I never even would have made it out the door had it not been for my TM going out the door when I was not wanting to. Yeah.. the whole "i say no, he hears go, thing" ..(Thanks, babe.. ) But it made me want to go back and do it a couple more times. And even if some of you view yourselves as being an amusement park ride, you never know the effect you have on someone's life. I was afraid of heights, afraid of flying, afraid of most things deemed "risky." I'll never be the same again... it gave me the courage to confront many issues in my life and I'll never forget it.... Ever. Guaranteed neither will the students you took up only once.
  9. I love the white chocolate macadamia...those are the best~~~
  10. Uggg...what bitches. I'm sorry they did that to you. I have worked as a waitress before and it's such a ripoff. The barely there paycheck and then tipping out to the bartenders, etc...

    The Flu

    Just a tip. The biggest way to avoid getting the flu is by washing your hands-- alot.. and keeping your hands away from your mouth and nose.
  13. I injured my shoulder putting up the Christmas tree. Those suckers are hard to put up by yourself. I was holding it in the stand and reached up high to get it straightened and something just pulled. I couldn't lift my arm up without it killing me. The doctor gave me some kind of pain med with a narcotic but I can't take anything stronger than a motrin or I feel loopy. It's getting better but getting dressed and undressed is a bitch.

    The Flu

    Isn't that very high for a child? I have three kids and their fevers have never been that high, but I have had friends with small children that had febrile seizures from temps of 102, 103. I always give something to bring the fever down if it is above 100 but that's just me. edit.. Just had to look up what Dr. Sears said. I guess I do panic when their little heads feel so warm. He did say not to treat a low grade fever and to treat the child not the fever. So, maybe I'll wait till it gets to 101, 102 before using something to bring it down.
  15. oh yeah...i forgot the roasted garlic. It's yummy
