Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Why haven't the Germans developed a single word to cover that particular kink?

Don't know. But i'm pretty sure they do have a word for Why haven't we developed a single word to cover that particular kink?

With frequent consumption, substantial tolerance develops to the anxiogenic effect of caffeine, even in genetically susceptible individuals, but no net benefit for alertness is gained, as caffeine abstinence reduces alertness and consumption merely returns it to baseline.

Of course, that's a statistic and stats are useful for groups but not always individuals. So even if its 99% of people that its true for the individual Burrell seems to be in the 1% that it is not.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Too much caffeine makes me tired and sleepy.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I love coffee, but right now I don't have a taste for it.

I hope it comes back.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

I drink way too much coffee.

Speaking of which, a chocolate chip bagel, cookies, and coffee is a perfectly acceptable lunch, yes?

The Rent Is Too Damn High is a party I could really get behind! Hah.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

OK, this wonkette thing is funny:

Christine O’Donnell Shocks Delaware By Not Knowing First Amendment

Christine O’Donnell (R-DE) believes her participation in an eight-day conservative think tank fellowship is the “number one” thing qualifying her for service in the U.S. Senate. O’Donnell says the “deep analysis of the constitution” taught at Claremont Institute’s competitive Lincoln Fellowship program would help her make sound decisions in the Senate

For some reason, in spite of this she didn't know what was in the First Amendment.

When Coons responded that the First Amendment bars Congress from making laws respecting the establishment of religion, O’Donnell asked: “You’re telling me that’s in the First Amendment?”

Her comments, in a debate aired on radio station WDEL, generated a buzz in the audience.

“You actually audibly heard the crowd gasp,” Widener University political scientist Wesley Leckrone said after the debate, adding that it raised questions about O’Donnell’s grasp of the Constitution.

I'm going to miss Christine O’Donnell after she loses....
