Coffee Addiction

Ah, the blessed bean.

Calling it a "safe drug," researchers at the University of North Dakota have recently concluded that coffee is an effective inhibitor of your brain's absorption of cholesterol (and other harmful things in your blood), and plays an important part in reducing your risk of dementia.

Just one more reason to smile as you sip.

AN OLDIE BUT A GOODIE

You may be too addicted to coffee if...

...you grind the beans yourself. With your mouth.

...you can sleep with your eyes open.

...you can take a picture of yourself from ten feet away without using the timer.

...you've worn out your third pair of tennis shoes. This week.

...when the cafeteria blender broke, the kitchen ladies withheld coffee from you for an hour, and then used your fingers to make the smoothies.

...you do ten miles on your treadmill before you realize it's not plugged in.

...you have a picture of your coffee mug. On your coffee mug.

...you short out motion detectors.

...your nervous twitch registers on the Richter Scale.

...you can ski uphill.
