Carl Sagan was a big time pothead. Not that theres anything wrong with that. (in moderation) Excessive pot smoking played a role in his death, I believe. If I remember right he died of pneumonia. His lungs must have been shot. Have to say he was a colorful character, but why on earth would he be contemplating Gaussian curves instead of his wife's curves?

"I can remember one occasion, taking a shower with my wife while high, in which I had an idea on the origins and invalidities of racism in terms of Gaussian distribution curves," he wrote in his essay. "I wrote the curves in soap on the shower wall, and went to write the idea down."
