Not enough beer!? Scramble the F-16's! (or whatever they scramble these days.) Get the president on the horn!

And the scientific community spends ALL its time worrying about global warming and other FAR, FAR less serious issues.

OK. Hands up all those who weren't paying attention in class today.

They're not short of beer - they're short of bottles (Iactually read the story). So why not just drink from the barrell?

This is the end,
My only friend, the end,
Of our elaborate plans, the end,
Of everything that stands, the end.
No safety or surprise, the end ...

Nine kegs? Octo(ber)lieber!

I had a friend who went to this event knowing only three German words: bier (which he pronounced "beer" if you can imagine), bitte, and danke.
It turns out, that was more than enough.

Steve: oddly enough, your friend had the proper pronunciation for "bier." Close enough, anyway. Oh...and an amazing number of Germans speak English, many of them fluently. (Lived there five years, me, courtesy of the U.S. Army.)
