"Ich könnte dich immer noch unter den Tisch koksen"
Zickenkrieg auf der Bühne: Auf einer Londoner Preisverleihung ließ Sängerin Lily Allen alle Hemmungen fallen und attackierte ihren Co-Moderator Elton John aufs Heftigste. Der ließ sich nicht lange bitte und konterte wie ein Kesselflicker.
Man kennt ihn, den flotten Schlagabtausch zwischen Moderatoren einer Gala, der manchmal choreografiert und hölzern, bisweilen aber auch locker und sogar witzig daherkommt.

Killing bacteria with cannabis
Pharmacists and chemists have found another use for the multipurpose cannabis as a source of antibacterial chemicals for multidrug resistant bacteria. Ironically, inhaling cannabis is known to damage the lung's ability to fend off invading pathogens, but the ingredients in cannabis, particularly the cannabinoids, have antiseptic properties. Although scattered research has been conducted since the 1950s, no comprehensive study existed that relates the structure of cannabinoids with antibacterial activity. Giovanni Appendino, Simon Gibbons, and coworkers attempted to remedy that problem by examining the activity of five common cannabinoids and their synthetic derivatives.

High Times goes digital
Our pals at High Times are about to start distributing their magazine in a digital-only format, via Zinio - placing them alongside such stalwarts as Popular Mechanics, Business Week, PC World, and of course, Playboy. The pitch is clever ("The World’s Greenest Magazine Just Got Greener"), and Zinio's service generally gets good reviews for what it is. You're still paying for a subscription, but there's something to be said for saving a tree. (Something like: "Gee, we're really just saving that tree for later, when some other magazine can come along and chop it down.") At any rate, there's a free preview issue available for your perusal.

Tommy Chong discusses 'Cheech and Chong' bio
Comic Tommy Chong was online Thursday, Aug. 21 at 3 p.m. ET to take questions about his life, work, clashes with the law and his new book, "Cheech and Chong, The Unauthorized Autobiography."
A transcript follows.

Tommy Chong: Oh, we're so close. We're like siamese twins. We'll always be friends no matter what. We've gone through hell and high water, and even through our darkest moments, there will always be a love that will never die.
