Drunk German!

You have to love this story. A drunk German panics and summons the fire department to rescue his beer. Yes, for his beer. HAHAHAHAHAHA

I see that Germans LOVE their beer dearly. This is proof that the statement is true. And trust me as a home brewer of beer I too love beer; however, I am not so sure as to the extent of this man! And I love all kinds of beers from a stout to a pils and all in-between. One of my favorite brewery-style bar was one that you selected the color of your beer...

Drunk German Calls Firefighters to Rescue Beer from Train

(NewsCore) - A drunk German triggered a train station's fire alarm Wednesday to alert firefighters to an impending disaster -- a train was speeding off with his beer, The Local reported.
The 44-year-old and his pal had stepped off the train in Kaiserslautern, southwestern Germany, to have a cigarette, leaving a bag full of beer on board.
But as the two friends puffed away, the train pulled off.
The elder man panicked and, wanting someone to come to his aid, smashed the fire alarm's glass case with his hand, police said.
Authorities scrambled to the scene and found the man had injured his hand and had a blood alcohol content of 0.195, the German news website reported.
"There was no real emergency," police said in a statement. "Because there was no other contact person on the platform, the drunk man sounded the alarm."

Shroomed Reindeer

Mush-Roomed Reindeer. 

Ever wonder why Rudolph's nose is red? Or the games they played? Or even why they "thought" they could fly? Well those crafty Reindeer think at least they could fly!
Keeping with the Christmas vibe, here is a tale for all ages. It may also explain some things. Maybe Santa is selling the stuff? The deer are just sampling their own junk. May also explain why the "Fat Man" can travel so fast. Hmmm, maybe it's not just the deer chomping on the shrooms. And look, I would not drink the Deer piss to get drunk... But according to this article some do!

Reindeer Eat Magic Mushrooms to Escape Winter Boredom, Scientist Claims

(The Sun) - It's no wonder Rudolph and his reindeer pals can fly: scientists say they have found that the animals regularly eat magic mushrooms to get high, The Sun reported Wednesday.
Scientist Andrew Haynes says reindeer deliberately seek out the mind-bending fungi to escape the monotony of dreary, long winters.
Writing in the respected Pharmaceutical Journal, Haynes said: "They have a desire to experience altered states of consciousness."
"For humans a common side-effect of mushrooms is the feeling of flying, so it's interesting the legend about Santa's reindeer is they can fly," he continued.
Haynes also said that in some parts of the world herdsmen drink reindeer urine to get high themselves.
