this is news to me. who would ever figure on underwater hallucinogenics? i hope the bbc prevail in its lawsuit against trump, the world needs independent journalism.
- puffer fish in entertainment: didnt a pufferfish appear in one of the sean connery Bond films?
- Columbo: murder under glass.
SPOILER
: Louis Jordan plays a world famous chef who kills a rival using the lethal pufferfish. Columbo and the killer engage in a back and forth as columbo dons apron and chef's chapeau and assists Jordan in preparing a meal - The Simpsons: while at a japanese resterant, Homer impulssively reaches for something on a sushi plate and it's Pufferfish!
Spoiler
the staff are very upset and inform the family sadly that Homer has at most 24 hours to live…. but he survives because it wasnt the lethal part of the P-fish! - Dolphins. More recently, on xmas morning 2025 I was walking on the beach before sunrise.giant yellow thermonuclear furnace in the sky had not yet come above horizon. something came out of the water, all curved and arched and smooth. i didnt think it was a shark, kinda super rare. and too close to shore for a whale. so must be a dolphin.then again! get out phone, and take 10 pictures rapidly.
then deleted them all: what i thought was a dolphin was a swimmer in black wetsuit, black fins. i shouted out to the swimmer something about their mother and her sexual preferences and kept going north

Pass the puffer
I saw another funny druggy story earlier about a hallucinogenic mushroom that makes people see little elf creatures
The mushroom making people hallucinate dozens of tiny humans
Only recently described by science, the mysterious mushrooms are found in different parts of the world, but they give people the same exact visions.
Every year, doctors at a hospital in the Yunnan Province of China brace themselves for an influx of people with an unusual complaint. The patients come with a strikingly odd symptom: visions of pint-sized, elf-like figures – marching under doors, crawling up walls and clinging to furniture.
