Coffee as a Health Drink? Studies Find Some Benefits – New York Times
And the Norwegians should know – absolutely great coffee over there.
Other benefits (some from the article, some made up for comic relief):
- Twitching burns additional calories equivalent to a donut a day!
- Waking up to a cup of black coffee after a night out on the town reduces the risk of chirossis of the liver!
- Slices, Dices, Circumcises, even makes Julianne Fries, whatever the hell those are!
- Reduces the risk of death from all causes by over 15% (That one is honestly not made up)
- Chicks dig guys who write and drink coffee
- Changes your tie pattern on a near daily basis
From an American Classic, and the best movie you haven’t seen this year:

Yeah, OK, I’m done.
