World Cup drama

I'm waiting for NZ's first match of the world cup to start. I think everyone who stays up to watch us thrash an easy team are true patriots who deserve as much credit for the win as the players themselves. It takes dedication and stamina to stay up.

So it was a coincidence when I went on wikipedia and saw an article on the coffee bean and tea leaf shop. Two things make this coffee chain stand out from the others such as starbucks. The first is that most of the products are Kosher which is quite commendable. You know that you're not going to be drinking mouse milk, like from the Simpsons. The second thing is that you're allowed to smoke in their shop. I'm not against this because coffee is probably just as bad as smoking and if you don't believe this, then you should try drinking a few cups of coffee a day for a week (or increase your normal daily coffee intake by 3 times) and tell me you still feel as healthy as you did at the start of the week.

So is coffee bad or smoking ok? That's a tough question. They are probably both ok in moderation, like everything else.

On a side note, does anyone have magic mushrooms?

EDIT: I just found out they're a class A(!?) drug in NZ. how sad..
