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".

Further proof that Wikipedia is rife with contradictions, edited by anybody with an internet connection.

Those are not necessarily contradicting statements. That is, caffeine isn't generally considered addictive, but that depends on how you define addiction.

Also, a study found Wikipedia to be about as accurate as the Encyclopedia Britannica. Yes, anyone can edit it, but if you put nonsense, your edit will be gone in the blink of an eye, most times. Though some topics are more reliable than others. Generally speaking, the less of a socially debated issue an article covers, the more reliable it is.

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.

Wisdom teeth are molars, not really a "type" of tooth on their own. Maybe at least accept "third molar" as well.

You're confusing colloquial name with scientific one. The word "type" can refer to either. Colloquially speaking, wisdom teeth are certainly a type of teeth.

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 wrote Lincoln memorial, and I mean it is in shape of Lincoln so named Lincoln memorial, but yeah I guess pentagon makes more sense.

Also I wrote Ringo, so figured someone else took over later, didnt attempt trying last name.
