So, Keith Richards "snorted his dad" - more technically a mix of the old chap's ashes and cocaine. I'm not sure what is more disturbing - the fact that he did it, or the fact that he admitted to it. We all have our deep dark secrets, the ones we file away under "FOR OUR EYES ONLY" never to see the light of day, not so Keith.

This story really grabbed me and prompted me to do some research into what else people around the world are sniffing and snorting, beyond their beloved ancestors and relations. Herewith some of what I found in newspapers and magazine articles from around the world.

-The Saudi "Daily Prophet" reports that this Passover Jews are not only using the blood of Christian children to make Matzoh, but they are sniffing the crushed bones of small Muslim boys to fuel their orgies.

-The "China People's Paper" tells us that citizens of Guangdong Province snort the crushed remains of Spotted Owls to help improve their sex lives.

and finally...

-According to "High Times" old habits die hard - George W. Bush was seen in the East Wing of the White House with author Bret Easton Ellis, 'nuff said.
