Off With Your Head!</strong></a></p> <p><em>Most folks who resolved to cut down on coffee this year are driven by the simple desire for self-improvement.</em></p> <p><em>But for coffee drinkers in 17th-century Turkey, there was a much more concrete motivating force: a big guy with a sword.</em></p> <p><em>Sultan Murad IV, a ruler of the <a href="http://www.theottomans.org/english/index.asp">Ottoman Empire</a>, would not have been a fan of Starbucks. Under his rule, the consumption of coffee was a capital offense.</em></p> <p><strong><em>The sultan was so intent on eradicating coffee that he would disguise himself as a commoner and stalk the streets of Istanbul with a hundred-pound broadsword. Unfortunate coffee drinkers were decapitated as they sipped.</em></strong></p> <p><em>Murad IV’s successor was more lenient. The punishment for a first offense was a light cudgeling. Caught with coffee a second time, the perpetrator was sewn into a leather bag and tossed in the river.</em></p> <p><em>But people still drank coffee. Even with the sultan at the front door with a sword and the executioner at the back door with a sewing kit, they still wanted their daily cup of joe.
