The other night P & I were watching a re-run of CSI where they discuss coffees, specifically Kopi Luwak coffee.  The cat crap coffee.  The $30 a pound cat crap coffee.

P was... amazed.  I had to reassure him that yes, this was real.

A while back, I was watching Numb3rs and one of the clues was a explosive device triggered by a self heating coffee container.  It sounded plausable to me, but I hadn't encountered such a thing til last night.
We were at W-Mart getting popsicles and I saw the package.  It's a chemical reaction using quicklime.  We got the Hot Cocoa.  I'll post an update after we actually open the package.

Waiting for the bus tonight #1257 went past with "Emergency! Call 911" showing in the destination window.  So I did.  When I got on my bus, I was talking to 911.  Another person at the stop told the driver what was going on.  The driver asked me if I was calling the dispatcher.  I told her no, I was calling Emergency.  She sighed, because apparently it's a problem specific to that bus. Lovely.  Stupid HRT.

I was always tempted to call 911 during the 80s, when people used those cardboard dashboard protectors and constantly mounted them backwards with the "Help! Call Police!" side pointed out.
