Dipstick for caffeine!

[yendi]

Not only are scientists working on creating a dipstick to test beverages for caffeine (theoretically for those who want to avoid it, but it would work equally well for those of us who want to make sure that bastard of a waiter didn't just pour of a cup of decaf because he's too lazy to make a new pot of regular coffee), but the test involves using camel and llama antibodies.

Dipsticks and llamas. What every news story needs.

Will people stop giving me ideas for a band's name?

Don't worry, we baristas only give decaf to rude or mean people.

I never worry about baristas -- they're coffee professionals. It's waiters in non-coffee-centric restaurants I worry about. Given no incentive to get the coffee order correct, and a table with mixed decaf/real coffee orders, why bother searching for that second coffeepot?
