It is the slogan for the United Negro College Fund. It originated in 1972 when they teamed up with the US Ad Council to come up with a slogan. It is still used today.
In fact, the US AD Council contacted Alex Kroll, then the Creative Director of Young & Rubicam Advertising assigned the creative project to Forest Long who oversaw a team of junior copy writers and art directors.
Copywriter Gregory Bruce and Art Director Jay Green first developed a series of Wall Street Journal print ads with a young Black man whose face was painted white with the headline: "How Much Would You Give If It Were The United White College Fund?" and added the closing tag: "Because A Mind Is A Hellava Thing To Waste" as a throwaway thinking the use of off the cuff language would piggy-back the successful PSA campaign "Give A Damn" used by Creative Great Tony Isadore.
The Ad Council and The Directors of The UNCF bristled at the wordage and it was changed to the slogan still in use today - "A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Waste"
he proved that different colors can coexist together and you can all go to the same school and that no race is superior. even if you are a different color you can still be just as good or even better. that is my opinion.

Probably Aristotle; that's just the sort of ego-maniacal stupid thing he would have said.Just so you'll know; Aristotle was wrong on almost EVERYTHING that he said. His physics were bad, and his biology was terrible. If Aristotle had been a farmer instead of a philosopher, he probably would have starved to death, because he would have been a failure as a farmer.It took the world 1500 years to shake off Aristotle's malign influences.Protagoras apparently said it thousands of years ago.
Rick Steves is reputed to have said this, he is the well-known travel guru.
Bob Nelson is the comedian that said "A mind is a terrible thing".
The quote "A mind is a terrible thing to waste" originates from an advertising campaign by the United Negro College Fund. It was created in the 1970s to promote access to higher education for African American students.
The phrase "The mind is a terrible thing to waste" is a slogan used by the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) in its fundraising campaigns to promote education and scholarship opportunities for African American students. It has been attributed to the UNCF as an encouragement for supporting educational advancement.

No.
Nuclear wastes are sometimes said to be a problem too difficult to solve because the waste stays radioactive for so long. The only thing that gets rid of nuclear waste is time.

Unfortunately, yes. Type in on Youtube 'Marilyn Manson on david letterman, terrible interview'. It actually isn't a terrible interview but watch the whole, thing. he mentions how they used 2 beat him up, and david, quite rudely says its the most reasonable thing he's said all night!

well its a waste of time, all they do is screw up your mind just my opinion anyways. They are pointless, as they have no lasting good effects. As the person above said they mess up your mind and your body... you're way more likely to die using them than feel good on them. So... don't take them.
