How Do They Make Decaf Coffee?
Craig Benzine explains how decaffeinated coffee is made. The answer is, of course, chemicals. The bigger question in my mind is why would anyone make decaf coffee. That's akin to non-alcoholic beer, which seems to defeat the purpose.
This is the premiere episode of mental_floss video’s new show The Big Question. Each Monday, we'll hear the answer to one burning question from readers.

* To differentiate between black and navy blue at any distance in any light.
* To know Pi, all of it.
* To see the future, but only far enough to say "Oh crap..." (Totally awesome to see this for TimeBomb on No Heroics).
* To change the color of your hair to any shade of brown you want.
I could go on.
Some that my friends and I came up with were:
* The ability to control wicker (grow, move, shape, etc).
* The ability to sense headaches in others.
* Intstant tooth regeneration. (pulling out them is still 'mundane').
* Being able to make the skin on any visable fruit or vegitable vanish.
* Able to tell anyone's age upon taste.
and some other ones I can't recall right now. :P
I like the preview for Wolverine where the bad guy says, "Do you even know how to kill me?" and W answers, "I'm gonna cut your head off, see if that works."
I would actually love that ability, though can you move it around like Magneto?
Still you could just grow the wicker so big it forces people out of widows in high rise towers!
That's one reason I loved 'The Tick'. The Ottoman Empress was my favorite. (She controlled furniture - it was her 'Ottoman Empire')
It's quite funny ! Like "Captain Acid" who previously sent acid fluids with his barehands and now only sends soft shampoo, or Mental who can make you do anything ... only if you're intend to do it !
For example: You can fly but you are insanely afraid of heights.
