Strange that forever I have read the average cup of coffee has 100 mg of caffeine. But according to this stupid piece a full liter has 2 - 4mg of caffeine! I call the whole article into question with such sloppy reporting.

Once, I saw a huge number of dead ants around a package of Nicorette gum they had gotten into.

Maths is hard.
Perhaps the author went to a “2+2=5” school.

>>And that is why metric kills.
>>It does not live in the real world.

Not so. Metrics is what everyone should be using. May stance may not be popular here, but it is correct. Some old things just need to be retired. Metrics has been around a LONG time and makes much more sense. (Discuss, please...)

There are two types of countries:

Those that use the metric system,

And those that have landed on the Moon.

As I never developed the habit of drinking coffee, when I was still working I used Vivarin for a lift when I worked alternate or split shifts and when I had to participate on conference calls with client representatives all over the world.   I have been retired eight years now and have a small medicine bottle I haven't touched since then.   I just looked at it and it does indicate that one 200mg tablet is equal to two cups of coffee.

Who the heck knows what an “mg” is?

I do. Just recently started reading labels to see what the sodium content is on foods.

My brother had a ford gran torino.

One day he went over the entire car and tightened every single nut and bolt he could get to.

He said it felt like a new car afterwards.

It might be related to Lucas having difficulty keeping the smoke inside the wiring.
