Driving at Top Speed

You are driving in a car at a constant speed.On your left side is a 'drop off' (The ground is 18-20 inches below the level you are traveling on), and on your right side is a fire engine traveling at the same speed as you. In front of you is a galloping horse which is the same size as your car and you cannot overtake it. Behind you is a galloping zebra. Both the horse and zebra are also traveling at the same speed as you . What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation?

Coffee, Tea or ME?


Typical scene.

Man calls up woman; man ask for a date; woman said yes; man meets woman in a nice and cozy restaurant; have a quiet romantic dinner; then man brings woman to her house.

And then, right at the doorstep, just as they bid their goodbyes, here comes the tricky part ...

Woman suddenly turns around and ask the man, "would you like to come in for a cup of coffee?"

Or maybe, she'd say "would you like to come in for coffee?"

Familiar lines, aren't they?

On the surface, you would think the two innocent "invitations" do mean one and the same, right? Or do they?

Many people think they're interchangeable, but they're wrong.

It has been said that if invited to have "a cup of coffee," it means, well, you are being offered a cup of coffee, literally. While inviting someone "to have coffee" really means, "do you want to come in and have sex with me?"

So there, the cat is out!

Ladies, next time you invite someone into your house for a night cap and have a cup of coffee, make sure you say "a cup of coffee" clearly, unless you want to have more than just a cup of coffee.

As for the men, you know what to do, don't you?

Ladies and gentlemen, join us here, and have your say, as we list some reasons why you think coffee is better (or worse) than sex!

Ethiopia tackles AIDS with Coffee-Flavour Condoms


Doctors have long argued about the health effects of coffee, but its reputation seems likely to receive a boost thanks to a flavoured condom that aims to encourage safer sex in Ethiopia.

Around 300,000 of the coffee condoms were sold in a week when they were launched in September, according to the US charity DKT International.

It hopes to tap into Ethiopia's coffee mania as a means to tackle high rates of HIV in the country, which is said to have invented the drink.

The charity said that with 2.1% of Ethiopians infected with Aids - and more than 7% in the capital, Addis Ababa - the flavoured prophylactic was more than a novelty. "Everybody likes the flavour of coffee," said a spokeswoman.

A Friendlier Cup of Coffee

Freshly brewed research reports about coffee are changing the image of the popular drink from harmful to healthy in many ways.

Thanks to some of the latest knowledge about coffee reported in April at the Experimental Biology 2007 symposium in Washington, D.C., negative myths about coffee are evaporating.

"The good news is it seems an extremely popular beverage can be safely consumed by most people in moderation," said Joan Salge Blake, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association and nutrition professor at Boston University.

"It doesn't look like there is any downside to coffee in any disease process," said Dr. Craig McClain, professor of medicine, pharmacology and toxicology at the University of Louisville, who attended the spring meeting.

The story about coffee grew dark and negative a decade or more ago when a study linked pancreatic cancer to caffeine, a link that has since been debunked, McClain explained.

"That got everybody down on coffee, but more recently in diverse areas research is suggesting that coffee -- at least in moderate consumption -- can be beneficial," he said.

Studies of large populations of real coffee drinkers are pointing in a positive direction.

New research suggests coffee can reduce the risk of such major diseases as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and type 2 diabetes.

"Animal studies suggest it might even be good for weight control through thermogenesis (the process by which the body generates heat, or energy, by increasing the metabolic rate above normal)," McClain said. "Drink six cups of coffee a day and you may have an energy expenditure of 100 calories."

In studies of mortality, it appears that moderate coffee drinkers have a slightly reduced risk of death, McClain also reported.
