Albert Hofmann, the inventor of LSD, turns 100 this week.
Happy birthday!
His "problem child", lysergic acid diethylamide-25, will be 68 this year; it was first synthesized in 1938, but its remarkable effects were not discovered until Hofmann accidently absorbed some through his fingertips five years later.

I always remember the interview that OMNI magazine did with Albert Hofmann (I think it was the late 70's or early 80's). Spurred me to conduct my own independent research ;)
