Although the test is probably a bit skewed...I did drop about 300mg about an hour ago. So. But just for the record, that "Delusions of Godhood" bit is overreaching, I think. And if you disagree, I'll reduce you to a pillar of salt.

Wait, not salt. That seasoning they put on the fries at Bojangles. Yeah. So there.

Caffeine: You Can't Escape It

Basic Instructions: Caffeine

Well, we can take some comfort in the fact that decaf isn't really decaf. That's the word from Consumer Reports, who sent ninjas to buy coffee from six places in Yonkers. And the word is that your decaf is still semicaf. There's always something in there, even if it's less than 5mg. But one cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee was found to have 32mg of caffeine in it.

This is good news for people who feel like they are cheating their bodies of the life-giving substance, but bad news if you really, really are sensitive to caffeine. Good news is that McDonald's had consistently 5mg of caffeine in their decaf. Or you could just squeeze out a black magic marker into a cup of warm water. Whatever works for you.

Just remember: death, taxes and caffeine. You can't avoid any of them, but at least one of them makes you happy.

Found via The Consumerist.

During my kidney stone difficulty, the ER folks said to go off caffeine. My doctor says I can now officially go back on it. Therefore I say...

At last!  My arm is complete again!

So here we are, with a gallery of folks proclaiming their love of all things caffeinated. Ladies first, as always.

Caffeine Appreciation Month to End With a Buzz

Giant armored scorpions love coffee

FACT: Giant armored scorpions love coffee

That's right, all good things come to an end. So tomorrow we wave a fond goodbye to Worldwide Caffeine Appreciation Month, which we founded as a counterpoint to another caffeine attention thing for this month. That event is just a crass commercial disguised as a health awareness campaign. While we have no problems with crass commercialism per se, any crass commercialism on this site is extremely blatant in the interests of full disclosure. In fact, we tag it as "How much for the wimmin?" to make it really, really obvious. Which if you don't catch that reference, go back and watch Blues Brothers again. (You should do that annually anyway, it's like having your cholesterol checked.)

Where was I? Oh yes.
