LD50 (Lethal Dose*) of caffein is 192 mg/kg in rats
* LD50 = dose which will kill 50% of the tested animals.
It is estimated that fatal doses for humans are between 1 and 4 grams of caffeine, depending on body weight and tolerance.
we'll say that each cup of coffee has 80mg of, so that 80mg * 100 cups divided by 1000mg in a gram, and that comes out of 8 grams of caffein you'd be injesting in 24 hours..while 1-4 grams could kill you if taken at once. IMHO you shouldn't even attempt to drink 100 cups...if you dont die you'll probably be very sick at the least.
The case is in the pre-trial phase, and this is where the prosecution presents all their evidence to the judge to determine if there is enough evidence to go to trial. this means only one side of the story is being told. Pickton doesn't get to defend himself at this point. If the media covered this, then the jury pool would be tainted because most people would take this as fact. Simple as that, and i think it's very good.
Most railroad tracks have a very low voltage current running through them so if a track breaks, they can tell there is a problem before a train crashes. All you have to do is get a few feet (maybe 6 or 7) of some pretty thick metal wire, solder/attach both ends to the track as far apart as the wire will reach. Get a big sledge hammer and knock the track apart. The wire will carry the voltage accross the break in the track so the train company won't think anything is wrong.
