POPS10 Things You Need to Know About Coffee A millennium ago on a mountainside in Africa, a herd of goats kept a shepherd up at night after feasting on red coffee berries. The shepherd took his animals' discovery to some monks, and very long prayer sessions ensued. It's a good story, anyway.

POPSMicrobes Could Travel from Venus to Earth So our first life may have come from Venus or, you guessed, Mars. This gives greater credence to the book "Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus." (The book needs all the credibility it can get)
