Interesting Coffee Facts

(If you don’t know what this post is about, please be sure to read: http://www.66seven.co.uk/post/338002915 first.)

Interesting?

To break up just stuff relating to me, this is more about general coffee facts which are amazing, an experiment I want to try and a slight warning of my future.

First off, I 100% recommend that you read everything on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee

Then, possibly “or” if you don’t want all the text Wikipeida holds, you should definitely read http://theoatmeal.com/comics/coffee It’s both informative and fun! Hence the really cool images and fun wording. It’s all written by the one guy, like here, and is pretty awesome.

If you have the spare time and access to the equipment, this experiment looks kinda cool. Personally, it’s a lot of effort, but any science people out there, send me your results! http://www.blackgold.ab.ca/ict/Division4/Math/Div.%204/coffeecooling/

Also, a website I’ve known about for a while and have showed many people. http://www.energyfiend.com/death-by-caffeine - I don’t know my weight so I can’t give you any interesting figures, and you can’t kill me. Well you can kill me, just not accurately.

Make sure to give this image a gander. Caffeine, it’s not all dandy:

Now, finally I leave you with a small bit of information I like

“The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.”

- Allen, Stewart Lee (1999). The devil’s cup : coffee, the driving force in history. Soho: Random House. ISBN: 1569471746


So yeah, when I die I want a coffee bush planted on my grave. Not that they grow in the UK as it’s not within the bean belt.
