Have you ever noticed how many gargoyles there are in New York City? (Probably not, because looking up would make look like a tourist)

Does riding the subway make you hear voices? (That’s probably the guy next to you on his cellphone.)

Has Grand Central Station ever felt kind of…mystical? (That clock is pretty cool…) If so, your occult-sense (that’s like a Spidey-sense, but with more seances) is spot on: apparently there is a plethora of Occcult-themed architecture in New York City.

So a lot of people say God told them to do things these days. Sometimes they say God told them to retire from football. Sometimes they say God told them to announce who the next president is going to be. Sometimes they say God told them to run for office (and lose miserably).

And sometimes they say God told them to punch someone suffering from cancer right in their broken sternum.

And now it’s time for today’s niche, religiously-themed health news:

Let’s say you drink a lot of coffee. Don’t be ashamed: It’s tasty, comes in all flavors, and gives you an energy boost. And I mean, come on — it’s peppermint mocha season, people!

Now let’s also say you adhere to the ancient Hindu art of healing and prolonging the body known as ayurveda.

Thus, arises the question: is coffee healthy from the Ayurvedic Perspective?

Well now you know. I think.
