Kopi Luwak, made in neighboring Indonesia from coffee beans excreted by native civet cats, is reputedly the world's rarest and most expensive coffee, painstakingly extracted by hand from the animals' forest droppings.

Yum. (http://www.reuters.com/article/lifestyleMolt/idUSSYD8159120070516)

Around a dozen people a month try out the exotic brew

Around a dozen people a month read my 1997 travelogue on the web. WORLD GOES CRAZY FOR TALE'S BLOG.

Here also is the distance between Canberra (dateline of story) and Townsville (home of said coffee): Google maps is the best (http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Canberra,+ACT,+Australia&daddr=Townsville&f=d&hl=en&sll=-35.306768,149.126355&sspn=0.244313,0.207024&ie=UTF8&t=k&z=6&om=1)

Bonus if you only water the cat with "Caffene Joe."

Super bonus on that one, considering that the caffeine would likely kill the cat.  Then you'd have ZOMBIE CAT POOP COFFEE.

As a fun side-note, brain-attacking parasites live in cat poop.  That goes a long way towards explaining any repeat customers of cat poop coffee.

... and to France, as a means of getting to Scotland.
