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...

Alright... You win!

Well, all things have a beginning, so I guess this is mine! Welcome to my blog, and please excuse the mess (the cleaner didn't come this week). Some background seems to be in order: I'm the last of my siblings to enter the world of blogging, and while I don't have the wit (Odessey), wisdom (JollyRgr), or pink background and toilet-diving feline (mouthfulofpancake) of my fellow siblings, I have a youthful exuberance and inability to spell that will hopefully charm any poor soul who happens upon my ramblings.

And so it begins...
