2,700-year-old marijuana found in Chinese tomb

Friday, November 28th, 2008

Duuude:

The cache of cannabis is about 2,700 years old and was clearly “cultivated for psychoactive purposes,” rather than as fibre for clothing or as food, says a research paper in the Journal of Experimental Botany.

The 789 grams of dried cannabis was buried alongside a light-haired, blue-eyed Caucasian man, likely a shaman of the Gushi culture, near Turpan in northwestern China.

A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language.

And they would be right.

So I present to you Engrish.com, a collection of “humorous English mistakes that appear in Japanese advertising and product design”.
