Only one marriage I regret. I remember after I got that marriage license I went across from the license bureau to a bar for a drink. The bartender said, "What will you have, sir?" And I said, "A glass of hemlock."

  • Lloyd's of London began as Edward Lloyd's coffeehouse.
  • Milk as an additive to coffee became popular in the 1680's, when a French physician recommended that cafe au lait be used for medicinal purposes.
  • Modern coffee brewing methods use approximately 200° water.
  • October 1st is the official Coffee Day in Japan.
  • Only about 20% of harvested coffee beans are considered to be a premium bean of the highest quality.



    • If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can't, you're right.

    Conversation overheard at a zoo in Tasmania, where a young kid waslooking at a wombat:
      Kid: "Look Dad, dog!"
      Dad: "No, not a dog. Remember, we talked about what this is?"
      Kid: (thinks) "Dog!"
      Dad: "Noooo. It starts with a 'w'."
      Kid: "W......w......w......wdog!"
