For the confused and/or lazy here is a reconstruction of elTee's post:

 

As you may or may not know, today is April the 19th.

 

As you may or may not know, today is Bicycle Day, the anniversary of Albert Hofmann's first intentional LSD trip 65 years ago.

 

"So what!" You cry.

 

You have almost got a point. But then I remind you that if it weren't for LSD then

, and there would be no such thing as Monkey Island. Apart from that song 'Monkey Island' by the 13th Floor Elevators - which, of course, wouldn't exist without LSD either.

 

Bonus LucasArts-related fact: Tim Schafer actually forced the Double Fine staff to work overtime to finish his drug-em-up action/adventure game Psychonauts a day early so that it could be released on Bicycle Day instead of his original release date, the marijuana-based April 20th

 

So we have learned that LSD is marvellous, and the future will know it to be so thanks to people like you.
