Expensive as Crap
So I'm in my Environmental Biology class one Friday and somehow we get on the topic of the price of coffee. Our professor tells us that the most expensive coffee in the world goes for $800 a pound.

Correction - it's not from a ferret - there's no way a ferret would be able to pass a coffee bean through is digestive system. Kopi Luwak (pronounced [ˈkopi ˈluwak]) or Civet coffee is coffee made from coffee berries which have been eaten by and passed through the digestive tract of the Asian Palm Civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus) also known as the Common Palm Civet or the Toddy Cat, is a cat-sized mammal in the family Viverridae native to south-east Asia and southern China. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopi_Luwak
Hmm, too bad. Ferret sounds way funnier than "Palm Civet".
If "Toddy Cat" could somehow be changed to "Tabby Cat", then we might have something.
