TKO’s Pick: Albert Hofman - Discovered LSD.
Month: April, 2008.
Bonus: Britney & Osama bin Laden[/quote]
I can’t believe I won?!
I forgot all about this Celebrity Death Pool until this morning when I read this:
"Albert Hofmann, the father of the mind-altering drug LSD whose medical discovery inspired - and arguably corrupted -millions in the 1960s hippie generation, died Tuesday 04/29/08. He was 102. Hofmann died at his home in Burg im Leimental, where Hofmann moved following his retirement in 1971.
The Swiss chemist discovered lysergic acid diethylamide-25 in 1938 while studying the medicinal uses of a fungus found on wheat and other grains at the Sandoz pharmaceuticals firm in Basel.
He became the first human guinea pig of the drug when a tiny amount of the substance seeped onto his finger during a repeat of the laboratory experiment on 04/16/43.
Hofmann and his scientific colleagues hoped that LSD would make an important contribution to psychiatric research. For a time, Sandoz sold it under the name Delysid, encouraging doctors to try it themselves.
Horror stories emerged about people going on murder sprees or jumping out of windows while hallucinating. Heavy users suffered permanent psychological damage. The U.S. government banned LSD in 1966, and other countries followed suit."
Check out the date of death and my prediction, f’scarry huh? R.I.P.
Off to buy lottery ticket I go.

It doesn’t take a genuis to figure out a guy who is 102 years old is going to kick the bucket soon. You basically had a 1/12 chance on picking the month. Probably even better than 1/12, since it wasn’t likely he would be sticking around for the later months of the year.
I hereby declare this contest tainted, and you shall receive no prize! No 2 pounds of your own respect for you!
