It's true, Coca Cola sells the cocaine they extract legally.  But I doubt that
they use much coca leaf in Coca Cola.  When I was in Peru, they gave me coca
leaf tea for altitude sickness, and it tasted distinctly like old sweat socks.
Not much of an improvement over the splitting headache that it was treating.

But this is boring.  Let's have some real rumors, like, hmmn, 4.3 BSD is
being held up because IBM has secretly given millions to the UCB CS department,
and it will turn out that it runs only on a hitherto unannounced laptop
System/38.
