COFFEE
part 13 of 23
  • Italy now has over 200,000 coffee bars, and still growing.
  • Jamaica Blue Mountain is often regarded as the best coffee in the world.
  • Japan ranks Number 3 in the world for coffee consumption.
  • Large doses of coffee can be lethal. Ten grams, or 100 cups over 4 hours, can kill the average human.
  • Latte is the Italian word for milk. So if you request a latte' in Italy, you'll be served a glass of milk.



    • Every creature is better alive than dead, men and moose and pine trees, and he who understands it aright will rather preserve its life than destroy it.
    Henry David Thoreau

    She replied, "Allison Wonderland."

    I can be cool, but I can't be cold,
    I can be sorry, but I can't be guilty,
    I can be spooked, but I can't be scared,
    I can be sweet, but I can't be friendly,
    I can be flammable, but I can't burn.

    What am I?

    If you asked me to name the three scariest threats facing the human race, I would give the same answer that most people would: nuclear war, global warming and Windows.



    As you get older it is harder to have heroes, but it is sort of necessary.
