COFFEE:
Napoleon-era French diplomat Talleyrand said that Coffee should be hot as hell, black
as the devil, pure as an angel, sweet as love.
Bach wrote a cantata in its honor, writers rely on it, and, according to legend, a pope blessed it.
Lady Astor once reportedly remarked that if she were Winston Churchill’s wife, she’d poison
his coffee, to which Churchill acerbically replied: “If I were married to you, I’d drink it.”
Coffee is everywhere, through history and across the world. And increasingly, science is
demonstrating that its popularity is a good thing.
CATS:
There are numerous likenesses between humans and cats, according to studies started more
than four decades ago.
People and cats have practically identical sections in the brain that control emotion.
We have a similar overall brain structure as well, according to Nicholas Dodman, BVMS, MRCVS,
animal behavior chief at Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine in Boston. In both people
and cats, the brain is composed of gray and white matter. Just like humans, cats have temporal,
occipital, frontal and parietal lobes of their cerebral cortex. Each region is connected in the same way.
