The Worlds strongest ale was sold at the Bristol Real Ale Festival in 2003. It was called Owd Nob Ripper and had a healthy OG of 1527. John Lummox, who paid the requisite £48.00, received a sherry sized glass containing the lethal nectar.

When he came too, in the First Aid tent, he declared the beverage to be "the tits", said it was slightly woody and passed out again for the next 17 hours.

what a great lummox he was :D lummox by name........

Psychologists have discovered that people who spend more than a reasonable amount of time posting on internet forums are not the sad, lonely and depressed bunch of potential psychopaths, stalkers and nutters they have been always been portrayed as.

Recent surveys have revealed that such interaction actually builds the ability to communicate in the real world without relying on alcohol to overcome massive attacks of nerves [especially when near members of the opposite sex].

Scientists actually proved that a surprising number of forum users actually have girlfriends/boyfriends or are married.

It is predicted that computer nerds are to become the celebrities of the 21st Century ~ especially the podgy, balding, middle aged ones.

Honest.

One sneeze can shoot 20,000 droplets of moisure four metres away.

To test the effectiveness of deodorants many companies employ 'assessors' whose job it is to spend their working days sniffing other peoples armpits.

In a typical test, a team of volunteers, male and female, have their armpits sprayed or rolled with the test product. A number of hours later, they return to be sniffed by assessors.

The assessor' sense of smell is so acute, they claim to be able to detect, by the smell of sweat what a person had for dinner the night before. The pong-level (known as'maodour' in the trade) is assessed on a scale one to five.

For those who think their job is boring, mabe a change in career is what they need. :P

yeah right random fact :thumbup:

The flapping of a single butterfly's wing today produces a tiny change in the state of the atmosphere. Over a period of time, what the atmosphere actually does diverges from what it would have done. So, in a month's time, a tornado that would have devastated the Indonesian coast doesn't happen. Or maybe one that wasn't going to happen, does. (Ian Stewart, Does God Play Dice? The Mathematics of Chaos, pg. 141) :blink:

so all we've got to do to prevent tornadoes is find this butterfly and ( look away animal rights nutters).............. stamp on it :unsure:

Leicester University once held a Golden Pillow contest for the most boring lecturer of the year. The winner was a phyicist who spoke on 'classical mechanical formallism for motion in an infinate :yawn: viscous medium'

The runner-up, who was awarded the Silver Pillow, lectured on the German vocabulary, particularly words for parts of the leg below the ankle.

Both pillows were stuffed with shredded papers from boring lectures. :yawn:

When Nietsche wrote "Gott ist tot" in his classic work 'Also sprach Zarathustra', little did he know how wrong he was.

God is alive and well and lives in a terrace house, 14 Winnie Mandela Close, Colchester.
