The amazing thread of useless facts...

There are more than 1,000 chemicals in a cup of coffee. Of these, only 26 have been tested, and half caused cancer in laboratory mice.

The bastard Kibbles stays sick whenever we have some sort of test or long range project due, forcing me to have no one to play M:TG with in the Study (after I finally make a new red speed deck, too)

[Mr. Apocalypse]

I dont think so...thats what they said about the sweetener stuff, but it only caused cancer in lab rats not people!
You drink more coffee then anyone I know and you dont have cancer! do you!?

[Kibbles-N-Bits]

Bane - I have one word for you... Bahahahahahahahaha!!

Apoc - No, it has been proven that 13 of the chemicals found in coffee and isolated by scientists do cause cancer. I have no idea if I have cancer.

[Kibbles-N-Bits]

Heres another fact...

Horse racing is one of the most dangerours sports. Between 2 and 3 jockeys are killed each year. That's about how many baseball players have died in baseball's entire professional history during a game.

[Mr. Apocalypse]

Cancer in rats not people there is a diffrence!

[Kibbles-N-Bits]

Would you like to know why they haven't tested it on people? Could it be because human testing on chemicals known to be harmful IS ILLEGAL? Maybe?

They also know from past experience with these chemicals that they cause cancer. They aren't ONLY found in coffee... we have known about them for a while now, its just that we didn't know they were in certain things... anyway. Anything can cause cancer. The friggin SUN causes cancer. WATER can cause cancer... bet you didn't know that one
