And then there are those who have not heard about It's Just a Plant: A Children's Story of Marijuana. How bad an idea is this? The ever-observant Galleycat, who saw a report about the book on CNN, actually tracked town Mike Edison, the former publisher of High Times, and got him to weigh in: "The book's premise stinks worse than Snoop Dogg's last record - little kids catching mommy and daddy in the act of getting stoned? If you can't get stoned without getting busted by your six-year old, you should have you bong taken away. I am all for education, but there is something seriously wrong about teaching first-graders about weed. What's next, Fisher Price's 'My First Water Pipe'"? The sweet smell of indignant outrage is burning up the Internet already. (I'm sure the author is bitterly disappointed at the attention.)

Andy from Galleycat here. I love the Dr. Seuss bit. Wish I thought of it. Nice work!

"Oh the Thinks You Can Think" has been in heavy rotation at my household lately. It's a really short step from ....
"Think of black water.
Think up a white sky.
Think up a boat.
Think of BLOOGS blowing by."
... to "Did you ever think of your hands, man? I mean REALLY think about your hands?"
