Still lots of chats happening, and lots of fun questions and answers:

Did you know…

  • Pope Francis wanted to check he isn’t drinking too much coffee:

popefrancis1 : how does coffee affect the body?

claireinness : great you could join us from the Vatican! Coffee contains caffeine which is a stimulant – so it makes you kind of zippy. Please pray for me to win

  • A drug-fuelled Olympics is not a good idea:

dfeakins : Do you think a drug-fuelled olympics where anyone could take as many performance enhancing drugs as they liked would be a great spectacle or just freaky?
jackheal : great question. Could be an interesting spectacle, but I reckon it would be damaging to sport in the long run.
