    Well, I’d be dead. I’d either be executed with a cup in my hand or die from caffeine withdrawals!

    If I lived in Turkey during the 16th and 17th centuries, then I’d probably be dead by now.

    I was going to say if you lived in the 16th century turkey you’d be dead.

    However, you would literally be dead since person can possibly live that long anyways. You probably would have died from natural disasaters.

    But man….that sucks!

    Well, I’d be dead. Probably death by explosion, because I drink a shitload of coffee…

    What I wanna know is: WHY were they sentenced to death?
