BEER

by Sander Pilon Apr 27, 2002 8:01pm CST tags: Wack News
Return of the BEER - Bulletted Early Evening Reading! Things you did not know about BEER are:
  • If a young Tiriki man offers beer to a woman and she spits some of it into his mouth, they are engaged to be married.
  • Among the Bagonda people of Uganda, the several widows of a recently deceased king have the distinctive honor of drinking the beer in which his entrails have been cleaned.
  • The Chagga people of Tanganyika believe that a liar will be poisoned if he or she consumes beer mixed with the blood of a recently sacrificed goat.
  • It's illegal to sit on any street curb in St. Louis, Missouri, and drink beer from a bucket.
 And in related news:
  • French fries, potato chips, and reading the shack can cause cancer! (But cancer is the least of your problems when you eat peppersteaks like this.)
  • If you have to eat fast food then pizza might be a healthier choice.
  • A rabbit chasing your mousepointer. Old, but pretty funny.
  • JeffK reviews tomorrowind in his usual elegalant waj
 And last but not least, in the category 'small and useful applications', one of my personal favorites - StrokeIt. (Opera style mouse gesturing for every app.)
