Youtube prankster is facing serious jailtime

Emory, the 21-year-old singer who posted a video on YouTube that appeared to show him singing an explicit song to elementary students, was arraigned on a felony charge Feb. 16, 2011.

The video was edited to make it appear the students were in the classroom, though they weren’t. Emory posted two disclaimers in the front of the video that students were not exposed to the explicit lyrics. If convicted, Emory could spend 20 years in prison on the charge of manufacturing child sexual abusive material.

The original Coca Cola recipe discovered

For 125 years, Coke’s secret recipe has remained one of the most heavily guarded trade secrets in the world. Now a group of accidental soda sleuths say they’ve stumbled across a list of its ingredients.

It was published in the February 18, 1979 issue of Atlanta Journal-Constitution, but no-one payed much attention to it at the time. The article features a photo of a recipe, allegedly hand-written by John Pemberton, inventor of Coca-Cola.

The recipe:
Fluid extract of Coca: 3 drams USP
Citric acid: 3 oz
Caffeine: 1 oz
Sugar: 30 (unclear quantity)
Water: 2.5 gal
Lime juice: 2 pints, 1 quart
Vanilla: 1 oz
Caramel: 1.5 oz or more for color

The secret 7X flavor (use 2 oz of flavor to 5 gals syrup):
Alcohol: 8 oz
Orange oil: 20 drops
Lemon oil: 30 drops
Nutmeg oil: 10 drops
Coriander: 5 drops
Neroli: 10 drops
Cinnamon: 10 drops
