another odd genius, still his weirdness gave us Dave Gilmour in a way. For that i'll be forever thankfull. Plus my fav Floyd song Wish You Were Here was written about him. It just goes to show how drugs can turn someone from almost normal to completely fruity.

I've got a clan of gingerbread men.
Here a man, there a man, lots of gingerbread men.
Take a couple if you wish. They're on the dish.
