Coffee Can Reduce the Risk of Alzheimer's
Amenacier writes "Recent studies by Finnish and Swedish researchers have shown that drinking moderate amounts of coffee can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease in people. The reason for this is as yet unknown, although it has been hypothesized that the high levels of antioxidants found in coffee may play a role in preventing dementia and Alzheimer's. Alternatively, some studies have shown that coffee can protect nerves, which may help prevent Alzheimer's. Other studies have shown that coffee may also help to protect against diabetes, another disease which has been shown to have links to Alzheimer's disease. However, researchers warn against drinking too much coffee, as 3 cups or more may cause hallucinations."
Now where did I put that cup of coffee... ?
An old couple both have Alzheimers. They're watching TV and an advert for a burger joint comes on.
"Hey," the man says, "burgers would be great! Could you make some? I'd like lettuce, tomatoes and onions on mine. Don't forget! Lettuce. Tomatoes. Onions."
Wife replies "Lettuce, tomatoes and onions. Got it. Lettuce, tomatoes and onions."
About 2 hours later she comes out of the kitchen and hands him a plate of bacon and eggs. "You idiot," he cries, "you forgot the toast!"
Trolling is a art,
Now I'll be able to remember all of those awesome hallucinations I've been having!
So if I drink 4 cups a day I won't get Alzheimers and I will hallucinate .... good, cause i want to remember the good ones.
Better drink a whole bunch really fast. Next week, researchers will tell us it's bad again.

(I save them you know. You never know when a coffee can will come in handy. But I didn't expect this!)
I can see the fnords!
(what's the opposite of coffee?)
In terms of competition for arable land, I guess that would be cocaine. Next we'll hear from the Cocaine Importation Agency (CIA) how bad coffee is for you.
Tic-Tac-Toe, Global Thermonuclear War, and relationships all have the same winning move.
eeffoc.
Idiot! You're supposed to take it out of the can first.

Stepping out in front of a bus.
Having to work for a living is the root of all evil.
But anyway, are you really unable to fathom the idea that something can be good in some ways and bad in others?
What is this of which you speak?
This is /.
Windows is 100% evil.
Linux is 100% good.
The US Government is 100% evil.
RMS is 100% good.
There seems to be some disagreement about Java, however, where some say it's 100% evil, and some say it's 100% good.
Wait......Java.....coffee.....

"City hall" in German is "Rathaus" Kinda explains a few things......
