pineal gland was a source of fascination to philosophers like Descartes, who called it the "

pineal gland extract in
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. "Man, I'll try just about anything, but I'd never in hell touch a pineal gland," Dr. Gonzo said in the movie version of the book. In his novel
Broom of the System, David Foster Wallace's fictional corporation Stonecipheco worked on putting a
pineal additive in baby food. More
