Caffeine is an insecticide that actually kills or paralyzes bugs munching on it's tree. It doesn't kill us, because we would need about 90 cups of coffee to equal the same amount of pain the buggies endure, and even then we pee it out constantly, so the chances of us dying from it are slim to none.
This is pretty cool video - it's only 4 minutes so I recommend watching it. Where does Caffeine come from? Who drinks it the most? How is it grown? These are just a few of the questions the video answers for you.

Where Is All The Water? - Continued
Last Monday, when I originally posted "Where Is All The Water?," I didn't realize someone had actually cut off part of the chart. While doing research for my "Foods That Will Make You Fat" series, I stumbled upon the other half of the chart. This took me by surprise, because I wasn't looking for it. Too Weird. In either case, here is the other half of last week's post, "Where Is All The Water?".

Foods That Will Make You Fat - Issue No. 14
I've grappled with the title of this series since it's inception. I don't know, "Foods That Make You Cringe," just wasn't working for me. While most of the food I was posting made me cringe, there were times I was posting foods people actually wanted to try. So, without further adieu, I welcome you to my re-vamped series, "Foods That Will Make You Fat." My favorite is the Tur-Bacon-uck-en. Yeah, you try pronouncing that too.
I don't even know what to say about this sandwich. It looks like it would stop one's heart from beating. There was no description available, but it looks like it has bacon, cheese, ground beef, and it looks like it could have egg, but not sure on that one. In either case, this will definitely make you fat.

Towering multi-stuffed Oreo |
Just in case you don't know, the Oreo is the fattest cookie on the planet - that's mass produced anyway. I'm sure we could make a cookie with a higher fat content if we tried. Oh wait, someone already has. Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
Turbaconucken |
Seriously? A chicken inside a duck, stuffed inside a turkey, covered in Bacon? Really? Oh my lord, I'm sure this would be a great family favorite at Thanksgiving... if no one died of a stroke after the first bite! You think this would make you fat? I think so.

Giving credit where credit is due, this series is based on the popular website and book of the same name, "This Why You're Fat."

Oh Justin Bieber... Someday...
A few weeks ago Ryan and I were watching television when a commercial appears on the screen. It was Justin Bieber introducing us to his new perfume line. We just looked at each and said, "Oh dear LORD."
This week he appeared with Jimmy Fallon on his late night talk show, and this was the outcome...
