Ever wonder just how much of your favorite caffeine laden beverage it would take to cause you to blow a gasket?

Well for me it'll take another 247.97 cups of tea to get me pushing up dasies, I've heard of death by chocolate but death by Typhoo?

Cool link! I drink a lot of Starbucks Frappuccino, but I dunno how much it would take to put me under since it's not on the list.

So, after 362 cans of Pepsi I would be perfectly fine, but before I finished the 363rd I would keel over dead? :-)

361.32 cans of my personal fave, Coke Classic, before I keel over dead. Or, in my usual preferred form, 64.1343 2L bottles.

At the rate I drink it, this is a distinct possibility.

The one thing that they don't mention is that you'd die from HYDROTOXICITY long before the caffeine would get you. Drinking a quarter of that amount of fluids would cause your lungs to fill with fluids and you'd drown to death.

My apologies in advance for bursting your bubble.

Er, Dogbytes. I think most people did know that. We're not stupid you know.

(Honestly, sometimes you're so literal. I suppose you think we were actually going to try drinking hundreds of cups of tea to see if we really would die)

When one considers that 80% of the US high school graduates can not locate Canada on an unmarked map of the world (National Geographic Society survey), I tend to assume the worst. Just remember, the mother of fools is always pregnant. Just think of all the fools than now regret having voted for Bush (pollingreport,com). Remember snake oil?

Wel I've just had by 103rd can of Pepsi and the vending machine guy has decided that he's going to buy me dinner and put a plaque with my name on it next to the soda machines in our office. The cafeteria ladies are out of quarters now so I have to keep inserting these little nickels into the machine slot and this is hard because I'm a bit jittery from all of this caffeine and not to mention that I think I have to go to the bathroom which is probably something that you didn't want to read about. For some reason all of my coworkers think I'm a bit on edge today and I don't know why, but maybe it has something to do with the 104th can of Pepsi that I just finished. Or maybe they're just not used to seeing someone jump over the cubicle walls or run along the top of the breakroom table in order to get to the soda machine faster. My boss seems to be happy with me because I finished that really really long report that he needed tomorrow today about twenty minutes after he told me about needing the report and saying he was sorry that he forgot to tell me three months ago when he first found out he needed it. It's a good think I have 105 cans of Pepsi in me because I can type a lot faster when I have a bit of a caffeine buzz going. When I ran out of things to do for my boss I decided to take a crack at optimizing a SETI client for my computer and I found that using a hand calculator I could do the math by hand myself and type he results in Notepad. The numbers for a triplet look funny. Actually since about twenty cans of Pepsi ago lots of things are starting to look funny. And moving. Everything seems to be jittery lately and I'm not sure why. The screen is moving and I have to move my eyes at the same speed to keep up which is hard to do. I'm typing all of this with one hand because I crushed the 106th Pepsi can on my forehead and tossed it into a trashcan four cubes over from me. Perfect shot, I think. The trashcan keeps jittering so it's hard to tell if it went in or not. I went over and checked and the Pepsi can is in the trashcan so I did make the shot. Pepsi gets really fizzy when the hand holding the can is jittery...

Hmmm, I take it back.

I'd assumed that the fact you had to be able to read and write to post on this forum would wean out most stupid. But I confess, I've just been sitting here for the last hour wondering why I felt so sleepy and what that funny smell was. It seems I left the gas on in another one of my infamous attempts to cook. :-( Do'oh

Also it appears that Octagon in the true spirit of scientific enquiry is attempting to kill himself with Pepsi. You go Octagon! We're rooting for you! (I expect he's gone blind by now and sadly won't be able to read this.)

And how about the fact that according to a recent survey where some people took a map around New York, about half of adult Americans cannot point to the Pacific Ocean, which covers 1/3rd of the surface of the planet.
Maybe they conciously avoid learning anything about the rest of the world in case it hinders their chances of becoming president.

Question for Octagon: Have you tried smoking 7 packs of cigarettes today?

I just ran to Canada and back. Yep, it's right where it says Canda should be on the globe.

Canada is cold this time of year... good thing I was shivering so violently from 208 cans of Pepsi so that I could stay warm! :-)
