Fans of marijuana think today's Google logo pays tribute to their day of celebrating drugs, not knowing that it's actually in recognition of artist Joan Miró's birthday. They think Miró's style of art somehow relates to pot.

:thumbsup:
 
They were talking about 420 on the hip-hop thuggie radio station this morning. Is this the police code for marajuana possession or something?

yes, but if they posted every famous artists birthday, they would have tons.

they dont post Joan Miros just because shes a famous artist, its because her paintings somewhat fit in with the days trends.

On this day in 1889 Adolph Hitler was born to Alois Hitler and Klara Pölzl in Austria.

I don't know what kind of pot you were smoking but I've never heard of someone hallucinating on pot alone.
 
Joan Miro's work has nothing to do with marijuana and neither did the surrealist movement, best expressed in the words of Salvador Dali, "I don't do drugs, I am drugs."

Wow, so did anybody actually bother to read enough about Miró to discover that HE is a MAN? And yes, drugs factored heavily into surrealism. Miró was known to create in starvation-induced hallucinations.

But Breton, the advisor-of-sorts to the surrealists, strongly encouraged drug use and other modes of hallucination.

neither do i... it's a druggie burnout thing i guess..

If by druggie burnout thing you mean common sense then you're right!

Sounds like you need to start doing drugs.

Wait you are advocating common sense and at the same time advocating drug use . . . yeah that makes a lot of sense.
