The Observation Deck

Hi,
Great news! Coffee drinking is not bad for your health. In fact, "It could protect against diabetes, liver cancer, cirrhosis and Parkinson's disease."

Seems prior coffee drinking studies didn't take fully into consideration that many people that smoke also drink coffee. And we all know smoking is bad for your health.

So, this month I've heard drinking beer extends my life, smoking pot fights brain cancer and drinking coffee protects against Parkinson's disease. I may just make it to sixty!

Hi,
Oops! Those tricky sysops caught me again! Forgot to add that red wine extends my life even longer than beer. It is indeed a wonderful world.

Don,

I believe that it probably would be wise for people to research the effects of caffeine in some detail on the 'net, before glugging down copious quantities of drinks containing that substance.

Just my opinion, of course.

Hi,
Well, I never said to drink it by the gallons. All things in moderation, Mr. Rice.

Moderation?

I keep telling myself that.

Back to the banjo...
