Its well documented that musicians enjoy smokin' reefer, and young John and the lads were no exception. They chose the name "Quarrymen" because quite simply, they were stoners. Potheads. Tokers. Dopeheads. 420-fiends.
This started the trend that spawned other famous bands, such as the Doobie Brothers, Jimmy Buffett & the Coral Reefer Band, Green Day, Dexy's Midnite Runners, and the Lawrence Welk Orchestra.

The tea and spice trade between Britain and China almost bankrupted the country because they were shipping so much gold and silver out to make their overseas purchases. All the tea in China means enormous wealth.

So the English fixed that problem by forcing the Chinese to accept opium in trade.

Although not an independent nation (yet!) .......the KISS Army is believed to have approximately 1.32Million members, making it the 3rd largest military in the world. The downside is that nearly all the members are either 13 year-old boys, or 37 year-old men. In both cases, they live in their mothers' basement.
