Training a Cheetah to Be Fast

In the wild, Andrew feeds on fish, sponges, small crustaceans, nematode worms and protozoans.

Benny's diet is very specialized, consisting mainly of the interior of Ramy nuts, nectar from the Traveller's Palm tree, some fungi and insect grubs. He is also known to raid coconut plantations, and has been seen eating lychees and mangoes, which are also plantation crops.

Guinness adverts ROCK.
Made all the better by the fact that it is for a good beer.

That's so not accurate, and I so don't care. Hilarious!

This is one of my FAVORITE all time commercials. . . I have no problem believing that the entire rise of human evolution and civilization was in order to create a more perfect beverage than dirtwater.
But if you want to see something REALLY incredible (and bizarre) check out that French Orangina ad with the animal people. I posted it on my Facebook the other day!

So Jenbug, how do you explain light beer?
Posted by: David Schwartz | October 5, 2008 9:57 PM
I'm not sure what you mean, David S!
Honestly, there are a few explanations for light beer that I've come across: 'I've deadened my tastebuds to the point where this is palatable; I want quantity not quality; I grew up drinking this and never questioned it; I am fooling myself into believing this is better for me than 'real' beer; It was on sale, a 24-pack for 5.99; I am fiercely xenophobic and 'import' is a word that frightens me. . .'
