"I snorted my father."

This is too special. Much too special to not comment on. From ABC News:

LONDON Apr 4, 2007 — Keith Richards has acknowledged consuming a raft of illegal substances in his time, but this may top them all. In comments published Tuesday, the 63-year-old Rolling Stones guitarist said he had snorted his father's ashes mixed with cocaine. "The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father," Richards was quoted as saying by British music magazine NME. "He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared," he said. "… It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive." Richards' father, Bert, died in 2002, at 84.

All I know is that Keith Richards is going to have a fun time when he dies. I can see it now: "Heyyy God, so um, yea I don't know what happened there. I'm really sorry. It was a good idea at the time. Oh Dad! Hey! So remember that one time when I snorted you? Yeah, um... sorry. I didn't think you'd mind... you minded? Oops. You went down nice, for the record..."

Edit: So, it seems that Disney isn't too happy about this. Being that Keith Richards is playing Jack Sparrow's father in Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Disney has stated that Richards won't be doing much publicity for the film, considering his... er... cannabalistic habits. Now he's claiming that it was all a joke. Psh.
