I was thinking that smoking pot would only make the line have
different colors. But you are telling us it also causes the line to
disappear. Interesting... Well OK, /may/ cause... ;-)
I was never a drug user, so I don't know for sure. But one of my roommates
in college, oh man. I came home one nite and the lights were out, a black
light was on, and he and his friend were pouring the then fluorescent Prell
shampoo all over his desk. They had just experimented with mushrooms for
the first time.
He tried to tell me how snorting aspirin was the best way for him to get rid
of a headache. And he would routinely snort ground-up NoDoze to stay awake.
One time around 2am after a night of a /ton/ of pot he came starving to
death into the room, knelt down and grabbed a can of soup from his milk
crate. He didn't have a can opener. I saw him in this position: on one
knee, staring at a can of soup in his hand. His brain was stalled:
hungry--no can opener---hungry---no can opener. A kind of decision loop
gone awry. I check in from time to time: he actually held that pose for 45
minutes.

Puzzle: You are given a deck of cards all face up
except for 10 cards mixed in which are face down.
If you are in a pitch black room, how do you divide
the deck into two piles (may be uneven) that each
contain the same number of face-up cards?
