 [H1]More than 20,000 brands of beer[/H1] [img height=81 alt=Beer src="vny!://www.didyouknow.cd/graphics/beer.jpg" width=50 align=left border=0]Worldwide, 20,000 brands of beer are brewed in 180 styles, from ales, lagers, pilsner and stouts to bitters, cream ales and iced beers.

 Beer has been a popular beverage for a long time. Babylonian clay tablets show detailed recipes of beer making in 4300 BC. Beer was also brewed by the ancient Chinese, Assyrians and Incas.

 An Egyptian text of 1600 BC gives 100 medical prescriptions using beer. A few years ago, the New Castle Brewery in England brewed 1,000 bottles Tutankhamun Ale from a 3,200-year old recipe found in the sun temple of Queen Nefertiti.

 Commercial beer making was established in 1200 AD in present-day Germany. In 1506, the German Purity Law is issued, specifying that beer ingredients must only be water, barley, wheat and hops. Bottling of beer started in 1605.

I drank well over 60 cans on the weekend. I got drunk with my daughter who was drinking rum.

Mrs.G was at work and did all the running around for us as we both were incapable of walking never mind driving.......lol

  I fully intend to resume drinking within the hour. A perfect time to get some building hints from me after all i saved you about $500 on an electrician.

It is illegal to die in the British Parliament.

  In Bahrain, a male doctor can only examine the genitals of a woman in the reflection of a mirror.

  In France it is illegal to name a pig Napoleon.

 I hope he doesn't get LEFT and RIGHT mixed up...especially if there is surgery involved.  Eeek.

   Having difficulty picturing how the doctor is positioned when the woman is on the stirrups

He probably stands behind her head.
 
 Somewhat offtopic, I heard some rumour that the Scottish regiments by tradition aren't supposed to wear underwear under their dress uniform kilts.  To pass inspection, they walk over a mirror (instead of lifting up their kilts).

In Switzerland a man may not relieve himself standing up after 10 p.m.
