From Bizzare News:

Magic Mushrooms Help Santa Fly

EDINBURGH, Scotland - Dr. Ian Edwards, head of education at
the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh claims magic mush-
rooms may help Santa Claus fly. He told The Daily Telegraph
about the story originating from Lapland where the people
used to feed the hallucinogenic fungi to their herd of
reindeer. Edwards said, "They used to feed red and white
fly-agaric mushrooms to their reindeer, then drink the
animals' urine. Drinking the urine would give them a high
similar to taking LSD. One of the results was that they
thought they and their reindeer were flying through space,
looking down on the world." Additionally, the doctor claims
that Santa's traditional red coat may have been inspired by
the bright color of the mushroom.

Am I the only one that noticed the part where they're drinking reindeer p!ss? Anybody else wonder just how they discovered that that worked? I'm not sure whether I'm sorry I missed that party, or not.

I wonder if drinking the reindeer milk, or eating the reindeer meat (OK, no jokes needed here...) would give the same effect?

Feed them a lot more shrooms. I believe in Japan, they feed beer to their cows and then rub their tummies...after doing this for awhile (weeks or months), their meat will become more tender.
