The U.S. Army is working on a short-term, reversible drug that would instantly put people into a coma. Not only could it be very helpful on the battlefield, but it would also be useful to allow the Army to load more soldiers in a plane, stacked in tiers.

Actor Donald Sutherland carries an Epi-Pen of adrenaline at all times and tells people that it is because he is very allergic to bees. He is not actually allergic, he just uses this as an excuse for his Epi-Pen so he can give himself injections in public without any legal troubles.

Actor Ryan Reynolds is very, very afraid of showers. He usually takes a bath, but if he has to take a shower for some reason he has to take a tranquilizer beforehand.

Prior to the most recent tour of the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards had a shunt inserted into his throat so that if he choked on his own vomit it would be very easy to start him on a ventilator.

Although they cannot digest them and get no nutrition from them, king cobras love the taste of strawberries. Unfortunately, after they eat them they are unable to expel them from their bodies through normal means. A researcher in Bangladesh discovered that the fermentation of the strawberries in the gut of the cobra produced an intensely powerful hallucinogen. That drug is now extremely popular in South East Asia, where it is known as Snake Bite and has reputed, although unproven, aphrodisiac effects. It is however the most expensive recreational drug on the planet, with one ounce costing $35,000.

Comedienne Carol Burnett once got so stoned on psychedelic mushrooms that for three days she thought she was a howler monkey and threw her shit at anyone who tried to get close to her.
