A different problem (sorry to digress) but why can't I just order a coffee any more, without all this flat white, Americano nonsense.

Did anyone watch the supplementary video of the woman who said she believes the Earth is flat because she took a ruler to the beach and 'measured' the horizon with it? Hilarious !

Using the objective "Scientific Method":
- Make an observation.
- Conduct research.
- Form hypothesis.
- Test hypothesis.
- Record data.
- Draw conclusion.
- Replicate.
- Explore Independent Variables.
This is the miraculous method that Dr. Salk used to cure Polio.
