Please tell me this isn't true!
Caffeine stunts your growth not just in height but strength etc etc.
Is this true?
This would explain why programmers are so small!!!!
I better stop with the coffee before footy starts!

Damn no wonder I'm only 5 ft 7....damn dennis is 6ft 2 :mad:
I've got a soda can pyramid in my room consisting of coke and dr pepper cans :D
I've been drinking soda and coffee all my life... hasn't stunted my growth very much... although, I wish it would........ 6'2" and size 15 shoe is big 'nuff for me...
not to mention it makes you hyperactive and is addictive. I have never drunk a cup and I don't intend to.
Just wait till the genitically modified caffeine get in!
Did some work at Fujitsu and one day their coke machine ran out.....never seen so many militant nerds refusing to work......
This industry is built on Pizza and Coke and Coffee and drugs....just ask Bill
Militant Nerds, that brings back memories. Bring back the nerd stick I always say.
Nothing wrong with having some coffee..... Though too much is bad for you, but what isn't these days?

Someone I know that is going to college to be a chemist, told me that caffeine is really close chemically to cocaine.
I also know that the amount of caffeine they put in soda and foods is really small because I guess if you have large amounts of it, you can overdose.
If any doesn't believe me about the cocaine thing, think about it. Keeps you awake, makes you wired and hyper. Have to much and you start freaking out. Have way too much and you can overdose and die. Which one am I talking about coke or caffeine?
Caffeine is more poisonous and more addictive than heroin :eek:
haven't had my coffee today and the snakes on the wall are telling me that i should
What was the old Coca-Cola add?
I kid you not.Quote:
They don't call it Coke for nothing.
anyone ever had Jolt Cola, lived thru college on that, and beer of course
coke or coffee never stunted my growth i am 6 foot and i am VERY addicted to coke and coffee, i can't go throught the day without at least to cans of coke and copious amount of coffee :)
On the subject of Cola - anyone remember Tab Cola? It was clear :)
Coca-Cola used to have Ammonia, Cocaine, and I think Alcohol in it..... I wouldn't want to drink that stuff :eek:
That was cooooool :cool:, but it was only around for about a year, then they shelved it :( :( :(Quote:

I'm 6'2", and I drink about six cups of tea a day, two cups of coffee, and a can of doctor pepper.
Just like Coffee has caffeine tea has tannic acid.
Too much tannic acid will affect the secretion of the
gastric juice, irritate the membrane of the stomach and
cause indigestion or constipation. Strong tea taken just
before bedtime will give rise to occasional insomnia.
Constant drinking of over-strong tea may induce heart
and blood-pressure disorders in some people and put a brown colour on the teeth of young people.
In Textile Industry tannic acid is actually a Dyeing agent !
Tannin also inhibits the absorption of Iron :)
So why can't they get rid of the tannic acid not the caffeine? Or would that be called speeeeed.....:)
Cocaine was in Coke until 1903 (just did a report on cocaine ;) )
Must have been odd tasting stuff :eek:
Studies at Otago University have proven that you can actually live on a good draught beer....wonder at what stage of that expierment they came up with that idea...probably the stage of "I've had too much beer, let's switch to bourban".
Studies in England have proven that the sales of curries are in direct proportion to the sales of beer.
Studies in England have also confirmed the absence of intelligent life below Manchester....according to this bloke l know from Manchester anyway.
Just spent a week proving that you could indeed live on beer alone, new contract starts in the AM so further testing will have to wait, unfortunately
But known sideffects to living on beer are:
Severe Short Term Memory Loss
Frequent Urination
Unexpected Violence
Headaches
Vomitting
Sleeping with members of the opposite sex and not knowing who they are.
Loss of balance
Blurred Vision or Dizzyness
Frequent Collapses
Slurred Speech
Drowsiness
Ugly members of the opposite sex become stunning.
etc etc.
I never saw a problem with coffee. I'm 15, 5'11" and I take about 1 1/2 cup of coffee everyday. If I do not take coffee the morning, I cannot make it till 20:00. Have I a problem?:confused:
Yeah give me more caffeine!!
It makes everything taste better! Or is that just one of it's disguises?
hmmmmmmmmmm sweet sweet caffeine!!
Down here we never got TAB Cola and if we did everyone would be putting bets with it!
