#6  ZURICH, Switzerland (AFP) - Albert Hofmann, the Swiss chemist who discovered the now-banned hallucinogenic drug LSD that was an icon of the Hippy movement, celebrated his 100th birthday.

"I'm just an ordinary Swiss, who likes the simple things in life," said Hofmann in an interview with the Tages Anzeiger newspaper.

#3  No doubt this will be the target of sneers and mockery. O Senator Proxmire, where are you when we need you? I predict, however, this will be an interesting and useful step in the understanding of thin film chemistry and nano-scale particle interactions. Lots of important science looks silly and useless at first.

I can imaging early venture capitalists looking at Galvani's twitching frog legs and saying "That's great, Luigi. We'll call you when we need some twitching frog legs". Silly stuff at its birth, but electrochemistry and neuro-physiology were wating down the road. (If you slept thru science class, here is a hint )

There are people with brilliant ideas for life saving devices that can't get $500,000 in financial backing.
