<font color="#000000" face="Courier New">Thousands were
spilled and hundreds were injured as a giant tremor
rocked the Seattle area Wednesday morning. Neither café
lattes, cappuccinos, steamed chai, nor even the tiny espressos
were spared from the force of the 6.8-magnitude quake.
As Senior Investigative Baristas survey the damage,
leaked reports suggest that as many as 10,000 hot drinks
were spilled - many causing injury. </font></div>
