A silly hypothetical question is answered

I just found out, via digholes.com, that if I were to dig a hole straight through the center of the earth I would come out almost exactly on a line linking the southernmost points of Africa and Australia, a little under half as far from the former. So, if I could build something that could survive passage through all that molten rock, and still have enough energy to overcome the gravitational pull and get back out, I would have plenty of water on the other side to cool my amazing contraption down again at the other end. Nice to know.

The history of drugs in music

I don't think anyone reading this will be surprised that drugs and musicians tend to go together, particularly in the rock and rap scenes. Nevertheless, I thought I'd post this article from music news site Blender.com for whoever needs to be reminded how much of the musical creativity and productivity we admire has been facilitated by psychoactive chemicals in one way or another. Even if you are like me and don't doubt that fact, unless you are an expert in the history of drugs in the music scene, I bet you will learn something from reading this.
