National Caffeine Day

Today is 4/20, a day that the rascals of the world have set aside to commemorate marijuana and counterculture in general. That's terribly noble and junk.

But what the world needs is to celebrate the efforts of this man:

This is Friedlieb Ferdinand Runge. He discovered caffeine in 1819. His birthday is March 25. I propose that we celebrate National Caffeine Day aka 3/25. Consider it the geek's 4/20, since we owe so much to caffeine.

I hope I have your support. Let's get jittery together forever.
