Daily Star reports that coffee shrink women’s breasts and, well, has an opposite effect on men’s.

CUPPA COFFEE GIVES GIRLS A SMALLER CUP

The caffeine-fuelled drink is well-known for keeping people alert and sobering up drunks.

But Swedish scientists have caused a stir by suggesting women who drink more than three cups a day could see their bra size drop.

Nearly 300 women were quizzed but Helena Jernstroem, of Lund University, said women should not worry too much.

She explained: “Coffee-drinking women do not have to worry their breasts will shrink to nothing overnight. They will get smaller, but the breasts aren’t just going to disappear.

While caffeine may shrink women’s breasts, the reaction is the reverse for coffee-slurping blokes - it can make their “moobs” swell.

On the plus side, the study showed regular hits of caffeine reduce the risk of women
developing breast cancer. (Source: DailyStar)

Breast cancer, by the way, is number five in cancer deaths.

I was browsing through some Java books at the Choa Chu Kang library yesterday. Yes it’s boring I know. One of the top I was intending to read up on was Java Swing. I have to implement some Java Swing stuff at school and I, for the 217067th time, do not like Java.

My complaints aside. I chance upon this really thick book - you know what they all say about thick books - The Definitive Guide to Java Swing.

And I flipped to the first few pages, probably the introduction. And yes, I always read prefaces and introduction. I felt that understanding the author’s background and intent for writing a book is important. It helps you deciding on book purchases too.

Here’s what The Definitive Guide to Java Swing has to say about Java:

About Java

Java is one of 13,000 islands that makes up Indonesia, whose capital is Jakarta. It is home to about 120 million people with an area about 50,000 square miles (132,000 square kilometers). While on the island, you can hear traditional music such as gamelan or angklung and enjoy Java’s main export, a coffee that is considered spicy and full-bodied, with a strong, slightly acidic flavor. The island also has a dangerous volcano named Merapi, which makes up part of the Pacific “Ring of Fire.” In 1891, on the island, Eugene Dubois discovered fossils from Pithecanthropus erectus, better known as Java man (homo javanensis).

Pretty funny way of writing an introduction. Since most people who is going to read a non-beginner Java book, there’s no need to include an introduction on Java anyway.

Unfortunately the book’s learning curve is too steep - I am a beginner.

This week, Youtube is largely about music games and sex. Sex sells and it’s true:

Those that aren’t highlight are just plain weird videos. I like Hillary and the coffee machine:

Hillary vs. the coffee maker

Hillary Clinton in a convenience story trying to get some coffee. I don’t think she ever made her own coffee. Oh, it’s a coffee machine, you don’t even make your own coffee, silly me.

I am starting to suspect that it is not the caffeine in the coffee that made me drink coffee. Maybe it is just the whole action of drinking coffee that made my mind get prepared for work.

Let’s not get too complicated here. But really, each time I drink coffee, I feel like working. Coffee and work is tightly associated in my brain it seems. A sip triggers hours of energy.

And having said that, yes, I found out I can just drink a sip and throw the whole cup away and it didn’t really matter. Mind works in strange ways.
