Wikipedia: "caffeine is . . . not generally considered addictive".

The full paragraph in which that phrase appears says "Whether caffeine can result in an addictive disorder depends on how addiction is defined".

Books can be written by anyone as well, and tend to have many inaccuracies and biases that, due to the medium, cannot easily be corrected or countered.

Adding my pennies, rappen and two cents to the pile... I'd say this heavily depends on a person. For example, I drink coffee daily... except when I travel. Can drop it just like that for days, weeks or months and there are no consequences. Don't even miss it. Then, I know people who cannot live a day without caffeine without getting withdrawal symptoms. I gather it has much to do with the build of your "system". I.e. there is no one-answer-fits-all to this. Hence the contradictions and debate.

PS: I also don't drink sodas, energy drinks or anything like that unless there's no other option. In case someone wants to bring some form of a "replacement theory" to game.

Alright, have at it.

Look up synonyms for ricochet and they all say bounce back not just bounce. You also see a lot of backfire and backlash. Just saying

Bounces don't stay in the same place. As for "back" if you mean literally back in the same direction the thing came from, that wouldn't describe richocet unless it hit something extremely...well, bouncy.

It's a good thing for China that Forrest Gump sponsored that paddle and was thus disqualified as a pro for the 1976 Olympics. That's like collecting another gold medal in darts.

I find comments like this to be so irritating. Including a question about a famous person on a trivia quiz is not an endorsement of that person's behavior. The excessive use of question marks to emphasize your point is annoying, too.
