Update of revolution

At a certain point, the police informant tells the camera he swallowed the equivalent of 300 cups of coffee before meeting the doctor.

At Wikid Ped for caffeine a witness account is included, where a student took the equivalent of 250 and further that it led to a permanent withdrawal from life syndrome.

My thought was: It sows some doubt on the credibility of his story. But then again, he is a big man and his metabolism is probably handling coffeine as a breeze through grass. Besides, being given advice to take excessive amounts of caffeine by the police does them no credit.

A factoid: caffeine has adjuvant effects on the analgesic effects contributed to Paracet and Aspirin. In other words, a pain killer, besides being a nervous system drug. Not often a good combination. Caffeine and Aspirin has beneficial effects during migraines. However, caffeine and Aspirin can also lead to ergotism. So, while you may flash visions or not, dry gangrene may set in. The warning is thus:

IMPORTANT WARNING
D
o not take ergotamine and caffeine if you are taking antifungals such as itraconazole (Sporanox) and ketoconazole (Nizoral); clarithromycin (Biaxin); erythromycin (E.E.S., E-Mycin, Erythrocin); HIV protease inhibitors such as indinavir (Crixivan), nelfinavir (Viracept), and ritonavir (Norvir); or troleandomycin (TAO).

The silly language is caused by trying to be discreet and speculative. I want to put both parts in a bad light. The police for being manipulative bastards on this level. The police informant simply because he is greedy. In business he was a damned thief and quickly let himself run errands for whomever paid him in favours or money. While I at moments saw him wanting to confess his whole life as rotten fruit, all that became was charade. Those 15 minutes of fame scared the socks of a lot of people. But him, now under the protection of PST! - the Police Safety Services. Formerly known as POT. The old Crime Investigation Agency (KRIPOS) has become New Crime Investigation Agency.

I'm just asking: who takes the more acid? Pushing coffee and at blame for having their witness shot in the leg is way across the line.

This is revolution
