If you're at all defensive about your daily coffee order (yes, venti-extra-hot-no-foam-sugar-free-hazelnut-soy-latte, we're talking to you), you'll want to skip the Oracle of Starbucks. Most likely, it will just make you feel bad. The site (http://www.buttafly.com/starbucks/index.php) invites you to enter your regular Starbucks order, and then tells you what your drink reveals about your personality. Prepare to be offended - most of the revelations are pretty harsh. (Tall skim latte means you're "fat," a grande coffee suggests you're "lame.") If you're looking for a reinforcement of your choice, skip the site; but for a laugh, it's worth a visit.
