caffeine is next best thing to life...

I always wonder why caffeine is addictive... when I had my first cup, I thought I would never ever have another... well i was obviously wrong, otherwise i would'nt be writing this..
I recently came to know of some interesting facts abt coffee...

"Coffee is the second most commonly traded commodity in the world, trailing only petroleum"

"Goats actually discovered the coffee plant. Their shepherd noticed that they were getting very hyper; therefore, one day, he followed their every move, and found out that they were eating a strange berry that was keeping them awake all day and night."

"Recent research has uncovered additional stimulating effects of coffee which are not related to its caffeine content. Coffee contains an as yet unknown chemical agent which stimulates the production of cortisone and adrenaline, two stimulating hormones."

Coffee has infinite benefits... n 'course a few risks... but who cares... after all its the "GOD's Drink"

love... wuts tht?? wuteva....

Marazziti, prof of psych at univ of pisa, compared the lover's serotonin levels with those of a grp of ppl suffering from OCD(obsessive compulsive disorder) and another grp who were free from both passion and mental illness. Levels of serotonin in both the obsessive's blood and the lover's blood were 40% lower than those in her normal subjects. Translation: Love and OCD could have a similar chemical profile.
Translation: Love and mental illness may be difficult to tell apart.
Translation: Don't be a fool. Stay away.
