an excerpt from "The Marijuana-logues" about the creation of the bong:

"The bong was invented accidently, by mistake. Alexander 'Gram' Bell invented the bong by accident while trying to invent the telephone on purpose. He meant to speak into it, but he accidently filled it with water, packed a nugget, and lit it."

good enough of an explanation for me...
40oz Reviewed by 40oz on . History of the Bong Does any one know where to find it? I've tried google but I did it half-assed so I probably wasn't looking hard enough. Me and my biffer were curious. We tried to get my mom to smoke but she was having a REALLY hard time using the bong..which got me thinking, how popular were bongs in the 60's (or is my mom a freak lol)? But then Reb posted the 70's bong thread and now I'm uber curious. if anyone knows, lemme know..if not..let this bounce to the bottom lol. Rating: 5
