The Blue Star LSD story I first saw on the bulletin board at Tripler
Army Medical Center in 1975 some time.  I suspect it actually started out
as a West coast thing because I am told that it wasn't seen here in 
Virginia until the early eighties (when it went around like wildfire).
I haven't seen this one for years and am kind of pleased to see it come
around again, just upset that Usenet is the place where it's coming around.
It's definitely one of my favorite urban legends and definitely shows some
extreme misunderstanding about the nature of LSD.
