I had read somewhere a while ago that coffee was possibly first discovered an incredibly long time ago when people watched the effects it had on animals. That’s kind of cool, because you can imagine all these people from way back in the 13th century or sometime around there being totally baffled about the seemingly magical effects of this bean on their goats and birds and stuff. How weird would it be to be in the 13th century, have no knowledge of caffeine, and all of a sudden your goat starts hopping around like his hooves are on fire?
And now we’re way out in the 21st century, and we just use this magical stuff to stay awake for midnight premieres or to finish all our homework. How weird is that?
And hundreds of years from now, what are people going to say about us when they look back? What stupid things are we already doing?
