Because Mother’s Day

Coffee trees developed caffeine as an insecticide, to kill off bugs that would eat its berries and fail to spread its seeds. Yes, it’s a deadly poison, but for tiny bugs. It takes at least as much coffee as crazy-face above is drinking to kill off us giant primates.

Why Coffee is the greatest addiction (in every sense).

Though maybe my mom should drink slightly less coffee. Maybe.
LIFE Magazine, Feb 2, 1953.

Caption from LIFE. “One third of a ballet dancer’s time is spent in idle waiting around, two thirds in violent motion. Here a group point their toes, stretch their leg muscles, develop supreme suppleness.”

May 1, 1931: President Hoover Dedicates the Empire State Building

On this day in 1931, President Hoover dedicated the Empire State Building by “turning on the lights” from Washington, D.C. In reality, the action was purely symbolic and someone in New York City actually turned on the lights.

Throughout its construction, the Empire State Building was in a constant race with the Chrysler Building to become the tallest building. At completion, the Empire State Building won the title of the tallest skyscraper with 102 floors and a height of 1,250 feet.

In 1972, the World Trade Center towers stole the title as the tallest skyscrapers. Today, the Burj Khalifa tower in Dubai holds that title.

Check out American Experience’s analysis of skyscrapers in Manhattan.
