Coffee: Sugar? Cream? Black? A good splash of cream with only a pinch of sugar.

Oh man, I'd definitely be the gazelle! I can't tell you how much it has always been my dream to have a laser gun on my head!
Chris, you're making my dreams come true!

Coffee: Sugar? Cream? Black? Coffee: Yuck. If I must have a warm drink of that color, I'll take a hot cocoa. Otherwise, I'm generally a juice guy. And smoothies. Jamba Juice rules. Yavar

Coffee: When I need it to wake up, strong and black. The rest of the time, I'll take it with all the frills... some sugar, French vanilla creamer, all that stuff.
Back at ya later

I've always wondered what LDS has against caffeine (seriously). It's a naturally occurring by-product in a lot of foodstuffs, so why did it get picked on instead of, say, starch or sugar?

To tell you the truth, the LDS church has never singled the caffeine out in coffee and tea. Joseph Smith's original revelation said not to drink "hot drinks", which at the time were coffee and tea. There is no prohibition in the church to eating chocolate or drinking caffeinated soda, though some Mormons avoid the latter. The Word of Wisdom (official name of the LDS code of health, or however you want to think of it) doesn't just pick on coffee and tea, either, but encourages good eating habits in every way. Technically, too much sugar is proabably just as contrary as coffee or tea, but those things, as well as alcohol and tobacco are usually the only things anyone knows about.

So, basically, it wasn't "thou shalt not have any caffeine", but more a case of "it would be better if thou didst generally eat and drink healthily"? Interesting. That's actually pretty sensible!

Writing of Mr. Smith, last month, my boss pointed out a story where it was suspected, or rather proven (due to handwriting evidence), that Mr. Smith had stolen his "revelation" material from another person. Somehow, we got into a conversation about Mormon's, and my boss remembered this article from the '70's. Christopher, any thoughts? -Carlton PS: I would recommmend a glass of iced coffee, but I'm not a fan of coffee. It really does taste bad.

Did you know... ...that one mule can pull 1000 lbs, but two mules together can pull 10,000 lbs? ...that before the plague in Europe, babies were born with their full set of 32 teeth? ...that I didn't see Kurt Vonnegut when he came to OSU a year ago, then found out he died only a few weeks afterward?
