Could it be that absinthe is not all it's cracked up to be? Or is this bad science?

Drink enough of anything, especially poorly distilled 140 proof anything, and you're gonna see some crazy sh!t.
I don't know anyone who's drunk absinthe (the European, the new American, the "classic" or the homemade varieties) and contends that it provides anything other than a really nice, enjoyable, potent drinking experience. Just as vodka, whiskey, wine and beer induce different "styles" of inebriation (due largely but not exclusively to their chemical origins), absinthe can simply be added to that list.
I've never hallucinated while drinking it, though it does seem to spur creativity and imagination without making you stupid(er) ... think pot or cocaine but minus the day-after "what the hell was I thinking?" retrospective.
As for the report in the link, who knows. I don't have the chemistry background to refute or support their findings. I would, however, be interested if the same scientists can pinpoint the chemical in gin that makes you punch your best friend in the face.

I'm just not a fan of absinthe. I like licorice but for some reason, absinthe doesn't do it for me.

Hollywood is at it again:
REMAKE - Land of the Lost, and it's a comedy starring Will Ferrell no less.
SEQUEL - Power of the Dark Crystal - I...nevermind.
WHAT'S NEXT? - A live-action Clutch Cargo? Lemme guess, a dark comedy starring Robin Williams?
Although I think I would enjoy Carrier*. Of course, that isn't 're-imagined', so +1 for that.

Power of the Dark Crystal has been in "early development" and "pre-production" stages for 3 years now. I was beginning to wonder if it was ever going to happen. Its kind of hard to find but if you can find the artwork that they created for it it really is stunning. And since MOST of it is to be done in the style of the original (i.e. puppetry over CGI and CGI only where needed) I was really looking forward to it! But I was a big fan of "Farscape", and the old "Storyteller" series' on tv so generally I like the Henson Company's work.
Everything else on that list can go "suck an elf!"

"Storyteller" is a near-forgotten classic, one of the great family* shows of all time. Glad to see it still has fans beyond my immediate family and friends.
*read: suitable for, but not exclusively for, kids; see also: Pixar

To those who didn't make it, you missed a great bachelor party, which included liquor, good friends, and Peaches getting a lap-dance. Yes, the apocalypse is upon us.

Ha, and I beat Haz too.
It seems that this thread and "Post Count Pumpin'" are in a neck-and-neck race to the 2,000 post mark.

You know, it's only a short ride from Asimi-3PO to an incident featuring a toaster, a garbage disposal, and a 16-pound hammer.
Personally, I welcome our Robotic Overlords. Maybe they will be able to stave off the coming zombie apocalypse...

Speaking of our new overlords, looks like someone with authority and a budget watched "Fast, Cheap and Out of Control" recently:
