A Microbe's-Eye View of Beer
fjordboy writes "After a hard days work and a couple of beers, don't we all really wonder what our draft would look like under thousands of times magnification? Maybe not, but after nine years of work and five million dollars, Michael Davidson of Florida State University has created a website of microscopic proportions that will satiate anyone's curiosity. His site, MolecularExpressions.com has galleries full of images of ordinary materials under extraordinary magnification. The list of materials includes beers from around the world, popular cocktails, snoopy and many more. The site has a wealth of images that are well worth a look. CNN has a brief description of the site and the work that went into it, but feel free to skip that and just gaze at an Irish favorite." Some pretty new galleries since the last time we mentioned it.

A man comes into the bar and wants a beer. He asks the bartender how much and he says 5 cents. The man asked the bartender how he could afford to stay in business. Well the bartender says he won the lottery and always wanted to sell a drink at a reasonable price. Spend his last days enjoying the company of his customers.
Well the man takes a long pull of his beer and looks around and asks the bartender who those group of people at the end of the bar were. It appeared they were not drinking.
The bartender said with a scowl on his face, oh them, they are high school teachers.
The man asks why did that matter?
The bartender says they are so cheap they are waiting for happy hour.

Anyone have any idea why, when photographed, the various drinks appear to have some amount of order ? They all appear to have some order when you would think that fluid dynamics of a drink implies chaos, why the sudden transitions? why the crystal pattern? anyone care to enlighten me, since I'm a bit too drunk (read: bad with physics) to look anything up right now?
Really? I didn't see any red eyes. You might want to check again.

I must drink beer. Beer is the mind-killer. Beer is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my beer. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. When the beer has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Consider the fact that all alcohol is yeast excrement. That means that when you drink beer, you're participating in the "circle of life" at a very fundamental level.

This issue is a bit more complicated than you think.
An Australian, a Kiwi and South African are in a bar one night having a beer.
All of a sudden the South African drinks his beer, throws his glass in the air, pulls out a gun shoots the glass to pieces. He says "In SethEfrika our glasses are so cheap that we don't need to drink from the same one twice".
The Kiwi (obviously impressed by this) drinks his beer throws his glass into the air, pulls out his gun and shoots the glass to pieces. He says "Wull mate, in Niw Zulland we have so much sand to make the glasses that we don't need to drink out of the same glass twice, either".
The Australian, cool as a Koala, picks up his beer and drinks it, throws his glass into the air, pulls out his gun and shoots the South African and the Kiwi. He says "In Australia we have so many damn South Africans and Kiwi's that we don't need to drink with the same ones twice".
How is American beer like having sex in a canoe?
They're both fucking close to water.
If you smoke after sex, you're doing it too fast.
