Kopi Luwak, made in neighboring Indonesia from coffee beans excreted by native civet cats, is reputedly the world's rarest and most expensive coffee, painstakingly extracted by hand from the animals' forest droppings.
When roasted, the resulting beans sell for around US$1,000 a kilogram ($1365/kg) and brew into a earthy, syrupy, coffee acknowledged by connoisseurs as one of the world's finest.
Aussies go crazy for cat poo coffee

And to think I've just been throwing the kitty litter in the trash.
And who thinks something like this up? It's like something out of a coffee addict Cheech and Chong style move:
The cat ate my beans, man.
YOU MEAN WE'RE DRINKING CAT S***, MAN!

#1 - Thu May 17, 2007 9:42 AM EDTBodhi, I am glad this happened - i.e. you seeding something that I had seeded earlier, because I accidentally did that to you the other day on the Obama thingy. I try very hard to research a seed before I put it in. Do you have any tips?
And, as long as I am pestering you for tips, does anyone know why only 26 articles/seeds are displayed on a column?

#3 - Fri May 18, 2007 11:50 AM EDTGenerally, one deletes the second seed, which I will do as soon as I see you respond to this comment.

Oh, no, please don't do that. That was not my intent in mentioning the seeding problems.
Do you have any suggestions on how I might do a better job of checking to see if an article has been posted before? I test the link, but prior to that, I try several different tags and even try searching the full text.
Generally, when you seed and article that has already been seeded, the seed screen will alert you. There will be a red bar across the top telling you it has already been seeded and provide a link to the article, which in my case, generally takes to to an article already seeded by Adam Hobson.
Sometimes, you seed an article that is from a different source, as in this case, so there is no alert. Then you can check the box directly above the comments to see if there are other seeds present on the Vine. If so, I generally check the other seeds to see if they we seeded before me. If they were, I delete my seed. If not, I open another Rolling Rock and go back to what I was doing.

3.3 - So, you are saying you check again after your link is seeded for content already on the Vine? Then you either delete (honorable person) or make friends with a brewski. Except for the brewski part, will do:)

...the resulting beans sell for around US$1,000 a kilogram (AU$1365/kg)...
That's US$454.54 (AU$620.45/Lb.). The most I've seen this go for is $145US, though Wiki says prices go to $600US. The beans I got were white.
1.26 Billion cups per year? That's hard to believe. That's nearly 63 Billion beans.
To find out if something has been seeded before, you may have to do a topic search. They aren't always seeded from the same source, or the same site.
