If you dont know me blow me!
Origin of the "420"I found this on a site and I have this story so it..s not made up, and it wasn..t written any time recently. Just thought I..d share it, clear up for all the morons out there that celebrate 420 and don..t know why it..s even that day.The number 4:20 comes to us from the "fiction" of Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Lovecraft used the number in his short story "Within the Walls of Eryx" when referring to a scene wherein an intrepid space explorer stumbles across a "mirage plant."The description of the plant in Lovecraft's story is very similar to the description of the Cannabis Sativa plant native to Earth.The actual excerpt from the story, wherein the number "4:20" is mentioned, follows:"Although everything was spinning perilously, I tried to start in the right direction and hack my way ahead. My route must have been far from straight, for it seemed hours before I was free of the mirage-plant's pervasive influence. Gradually the dancing lights began to disappear, and the shimmering spectral scenery began to assume the aspect of solidity. When I did get wholly clear I looked at my watch and was astonished to find the time was only 4:20. Though eternities had seemed to pass, the whole experience could have consumed little more than a half-hour."- H. P. Lovecraft Within the Walls of Eryx
