You have to be very fond of men. Very, very fond. You have to be very fond of them to love them. Otherwise they're simply unbearable.

Marguerite Duras (1914 - 1996)

To Make A Dadist Poem

Take a newspaper.
Take some scissors.
Choose from this paper an article the length you want to make your poem.
Cut out the article.
Next carefully cut out each of the words that make up this article and put them all in a bag.
Shake gently.
Next take out each cutting one after the other.
Copy conscientiously in the order in which they left the bag.
The poem will resemble you.
And there you are--an infinitely original author of charming sensibility, even though unappreciated by the vulgar herd.

Tristan Tzara (1896 - 1963)

Doctors from London University have revealed details of what they believe is the largest amount of ecstasy ever consumed by a single person. Consultants from the addiction centre at St George's Medical School, London, have published a case report of a British man estimated to have taken around 40,000 pills of MDMA, the active ingredient in ecstasy, over nine years. The heaviest previous lifetime intake on record is 2,000 pills.

Unsurprisingly, despite a seven year abstinence, Mr A, as he is known among medical circles, suffers from paranoia, depression, hallucinations and muscle rigidity around his neck and jaw which often prevents him from opening his mouth. But don’t worry there’s an upside to MDMA which includes ‘long lasting improvements in self-awareness, self-esteem, openness and insight into personal problems" according to a study from the University Of Louisiana, so don’t be shy pass it around among friends.
