Long weekend ahead ...
... at least for us in Germany :)

Here's a piece of random news: Red Bull / Coke actually contains Coke (as in cocaine) ... and you would have to drink like 100000 liters to get high, but would die on the way from coffeine overdose *lol*

I read about a Twitter TV show and thought how much fun it would be to act in that and also to write it if you limit the actors to 140 characters per line ... and then it turns out to be some stupid "reality" show. What a waste of something that could be really funny.

And talking Twitter and random news (from Germany) - apparently some politicians involved in the counting of votes put the results of last weekends presidential elections on Twitter half an hour before the result was officialy announced. See? It's not only teenagers who think AFTER they put something on the internet ...


Going to see my dad and maybe maybe maybe visit the new Beatles museum on the way.

As if Twitter isn't already enough drama in itself already DX

It's amazing how much drama you can generate with 140 characters, isn't it? *lol*

I actually knew that about Coke and the cocaine. Except it used to have a lot more. They need to have a "new" formula.

My daughter is doing a report on hallucinogens and she said "Mom did you know lsd used to be legal????" ha ha the good old days.

Beatles museum????? Oh how fun. Let me know how it is if you go. :) I love the Beatles. (who doesnt?)

Have a great long weekend!!

All drugs used to be legal before someone noticed that there are some side effects *lol*

I heard about the Coke as well earlier this week. Duh. Lucky me only drinks her Red Bull with Wodka. :p

and maybe maybe maybe visit the new Beatles museum on the way.
OMG, the envy. I'm going to visit it in 27 days when I visit my Dad in Hamburg as well. Heeee.

When you go, tell me how you liked it!!

I haven't had time to go last weekend, it would have been very rushed anyway, so I decided to go another weekend. If I break some trafic rules I'm there in about 2 hours, so it's not a big problem ... but I would have loved to see it last weekend of course.

Weird, I just did some research on the origins of Coca-Cola earlier this week. Wikipedia says it once contained about 9 milligrams of cocaine per glass, but that they're using an extract of cocaine-free coca leaves these days. Or so they say. ;)

It's hilarious how cocaine was used as a cure-all back in the good old days. I just love to read the praises of Sigmund Freud how cocaine creates exhilaration without any unpleasant after-effects and "absolutely no craving for the further use". *g*

I guess even if you would take the cocaine out of the leaves there would still be a bit left, no? Probably just too little to measure it ...

When I read stuff like that Freud quote I always wonder how drugged up people used to be ... I mean, other substances were legal too and at least in certain circles used quite regularly.

*waves*

I'm fine ... missed the Beatles museum though. I'll have to do it on another weekend when I have more time and won't have to rush through the exibition.

The museum is in Hamburg, btw.
