This story in the Fort Worth Star Telegram is LOADED with SubGenius
Inside-Joke Synchronicity, above and beyond the fecal-drugs subject
matter. Only SubGenius old-timers and long-time Hour of Slack listeners
would know that my daughter's Church name is Sivet Stang and WHY it is
that. Those close to the family will shit double-strength coffee beans
upon close examination of the name of the author of the article.

Prized coffee beans 'processed' by civet cats
By Oliver Teves
The Associated Press
"INDANG, Philippines -Its origins might put off some coffee drinkers,
but an exotic bean that draws top dollar from connoisseurs is plucked
from animal droppings.
Not just any animal. The coffee comes from beans eaten but undigested
by the palm civet, a nocturnal, fruit-eating cousin of the mongoose
that roams tropical forests.
Civet coffee, which some aficionados consider among the world's best,
sells for as much as $300 a pound in the United States."
**************
And so on.
Fave lines:
*********************
"Balidio says he forages on the forest floor and riverbanks for civet
droppings near his home in Indang. "It's very difficult to look for it.
It's like digging for gold."
Back home, he washes the clumps, separates the beans and dries them in
the sun. "Some are smelly; others are not," he says. "If you are lucky,
you can gather up to a kilo in a day. You just have to be hardworking."

A while back, someone posted that human feces based
on beef stew is almost identical to beef stew.
This leads to the supposition: what if the REAL
reason McDonalds is so successful is because when
people shit after eating a Big Mac, their feces
makes unbelieveably delicious and expensive space
alien koffee?
This would explain many, many things.
Please advise.

The difference is almost indistinguishable.
