| Talking Urinal Cakes Michigan hopes to keep drunks off the road with the help from a special message in men's bathrooms featuring an attention-getting woman's voice. Talking urinal-deodorizer cakes have been distributed to all Michigan Licensed Beverage Association members A recorded message will play reminding men who step up to the urinals to call a cab or a friend, if needed, to get home safely. The message is aimed at Michigan men because they are three times more likely to drive drunk than women. The motion-activated messages are part of a federally funded drunken driving crackdown. The talking urinal cakes have been used in other states for similar efforts. The last state to use them was New Mexico which employed over 500 urinal-deodorizing cakes in men's restrooms and bars across the state. Men in that state accounted for 78 % of all DUI convictions . The message itself starts out with, "Had a few drinks? Maybe a few too many? Do everyone else a favor" and call a cab or ask a sober friend for a ride home.." There are no statistics on how many people have heeded the warning or on how many answered the cake back. |
| You don't say..... A brewery in the Czech city of Ostava is making beer that contains .018 grams of edible gold in each bottle. The beer is packaged in Champagne bottles. Named 'Re' after the Egyptian god of the sun, the beer took 18 months to develop. Only 500 bottles have been made so far, and only those who specially request it can get their hands on one. -------------------------- Most beer today is made by boiling grain. However, some ancient cultures had a very different take. In Incan society, women would chew corn and then spit the mush into a vat of warm water where it was allowed to ferment. ----------------------------- German mothers in the 1800s were encouraged to drink up to seven pints of beer per day in order to make sure that they were able to adequately breastfeed their children. That number was reduced near the end of the century, when the government decided that two pints per day was sufficient. ------------------------------------ Much like Champagne & Bourbon, a "True" Kolsch Beer can only be brewed with a Kolsch license. Kölsch is brewed in Colonge, Germany, and is strictly defined by the Kolsch Konvention 1986, and is the only beer thatt cannot be brewed outside of Colonge -------------------------------- Nearly 2% of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product comes from the beer industry |

| Winston Churchill “Most people hate the taste of beer to begin with. It is, however, a prejudice that many people have been able to overcome." J.R. Attamante "I cook with beer, sometimes I even add it to the food." Jim Jefferies "If you don’t drink beer, then all of your stories suck and end with, “And then I got home” |
