You know he lives for conspiracy theories, and the unexplainable, in light of that, your post seems mean spirited. I'm sure he will survive this, but what else do you do when not here? Go around explaining to kids about Santa Clause? Don't listen to him kids.

LOL, Santa Claus is real...perhaps not a flesh and blood person, the the spirit of Santa Claus is very real and shines through the overt commercialism of today's holiday celebration. But the most fascinating aspect of the Santa Claus story is that it is an amalgamation of several different characters.

How did this St. Nicholas become a North Pole-dwelling bringer of Christmas gifts? The original saint was a Greek born 280 years after Christ who became bishop of Myra, a small Roman town in modern Turkey. Nicholas was neither fat nor jolly but developed a reputation as a fiery, wiry, and defiant defender of church doctrine during the "Great Persecution," when Bibles were put to the torch and priests made to renounce Christianity or face execution.

Santa's costume and the flying reindeer that pull his sleigh are attributable to Finnish Shamans, who would drink the piss of reindeers to get high. The reindeers ate the amanita muscaria mushrooms and the psychedelic substances pass through their bodies.

you can eat the mushroom directly, but I think the reindeer's bowels remove some of the toxicity... I haven't tried it, psilocybin is less toxic and easier to get. My mom said they grew in Latvia and my granma used to slice some up and put it on the windowsill... the flies would eat it and die.

I think it's interesting that we know so much about stars, planets, asteroids, black holes etc, yet here on mother earth we know so little.

the only thing we know about anything in space is based on electromagnetic radiation coming from these objects, and a pile of moon rocks...we don't know much... we know a lot more about the biology of the fanged eel-snake than we do about any exo-biology.

That's all well and good but how do you account for Al Gore and the army of crooked climate scientists? (humor, a love a crooked scientist as much as the next man)

Where was your post when I was younger? Isn't there supposed to be a toad that you can lick to get high? About LSD, where are the flashbacks I was promised?

Thom, funny, but I used to go spend time in Chiapas in Mexico working as an archeologist in the seventies.
I used to meet a lot of Gringos down there and ALL were botanist that specialized in fungi, always looking for that ever more rare psychedelic mushroom!!
I asked once and was told that in that area there were NO poisonous mushrooms and many would get you high, just some more than others. Occasionally one would make them a little sick but nothing to worry about!!!
I hiked for 8 hours once with some old men(maybe 50-60) up into the mountains in Durango so they could collect peyote! Being poor, they didn't have horses, so we hiked....., and we HIKED!!
Those were the DAYS!!! LoL

you didn't read the article!

12. Colorado River toad



The poison of the Colorado River toad, when smoked, can produce a powerful psychedelic high. But obtaining that poison is a lot more complicated. In the states where the toad resides (often in the Southwest), it is illegal to transport the toad across state lines. And in some states, it is illegal to own the toad with the intent to smoke its poison. Additionally, bufotenin, the psychedelic found in the toad’s poison, is a Schedule I drug and is illegal to buy, possess, and sell.

but DO NOT LICK!
