TOKYO, Nov 17 ( Reuters ) - Spectacular gains for the NIKKEI 225 index were overshadowed by reports that water at the exchange had been spiked with an halucinogen. Five people had been reported to be rushed to hospital with symptoms similar to ingestion of LSD. Upon opening of exchange giggling was reported as the NIKKEI 225 was pushed higher. On reaching 15900 delerious laughter engulfed the exchange as stocks were pushed higher and higher. Upon reaching 16050 teams of medics rushed to the aid of people who were by know rolling around on the floor of the exchange in hysterical laughter. At approx. 11.55am a man wearing a dinner suit and carrying an umbrella emerged with a cigar hanging from his mouth and rallied his team around him. They then bid farewell leaving a cloud of purple smoke which allowed them a safe escape.
