Scientists and Caffeine

My first real post comes courtesy of my Sweetie, who suggested to me that there is a definite link between caffeine addiction and scientific endevour. While I'm not for a minute suggesting that all scientists are caffeine addicts, it seems to me that the vast majority of scientists I know are strongly drawn to caffeinated beverages... Be it their Peet's Coffee or their can(s) of Coke. A search of the scientific databases proved a lack of literature on the subject. I really think there's a government-funded study there just waiting to happen...

Musicians currently keep the coffee shops in business. We can drink you scientists under the table when it comes to caffeine! (says the one who has just purchased a coffee machine and begins each day with a cappucino).

Says the one who begins the day with a 'bucket-o-coffee'

Hummpff! I drink more coffee in a day than the three of you combined. I buy so much coffee from Peet's they send me free gifts (mugs, clothing, coffee samples etc.)! I hear they're considering naming me to their board of directors...

Welcome to the blogosphere lil' bro!

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

I can attest to Odyssey's caffeine prowess... of course this is coming from someone who had it pointed out that they drink upwards of a gallon of Coke a week... ;-)
