A Collection of Articles Published on the Frontpage

A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots. ~ Marcus Garvey

This collection is really an archive so that we can go back in time and take a new look at articles of the past. I don't know about you, but I enjoy looking at old articles. I also get the chance to reminisce and see what type of art I was interested in at the time.

Some Coffee ...

According to statistics from Wikipedia, the annual world average coffee consumption was 1.3 kg (45.86 ounces/5.73 cups) per person per year in 2008. The average annual consumption in Norway, the country with the second highest annual consumption, was 9.9 kg (349.21 ounces/43.65 cups) per person per year.

I was not at all surprised that Norway and other Scandinavian countries were high on the list. I was, however, surprised that the average consumption for the world and Norway was so low. There must be a lot of people out there having a lot of trouble thinking and coming up with great ideas. In this regards I can definitely say that I am doing my part, with an average daily consumption of at least 6 cups of coffee! Unfortunately, I can not promise that all of my ideas are "great ideas".
