Time to lighten the mood. This is an interesting story about how coffee used to be illegal in the Ottoman Empire, and drinking it would subject the drinker to beheading.

That is an entertaining article. Thanks.
That's just strange. I liked the quote about drinkers just get drunk and jolly. Coffee drinkers remain sober and plot against the government.

I wish crunchy peanut better was illegal. It's my weakness.
