| Beer Slave Powered by Linux through a web interface, comes the PR2 robot platform know as the beer slave. The PR2 robot, can be told which beer to get and from which fridge, using its cameras to determine which beer is the right one, open the door, pick it up, deliver it to your desk - and it can inform you if the fridge is out of stock and the alternatives it can see. Watch it in action HERE. ---------------------------- Buy Beer, Not Mouthwash Winnipeg shop owner is facing a hefty fine after being accused of selling mouthwash to alcoholics at exorbitant prices, say police. Officers arrested the man earlier this month, accusing him of selling mouthwash as an intoxicant at a local convenience store. Mouthwash was sold at more than double or triple its normal price to people looking to get drunk. Mouthwash has an alcohol content of more than 25 per cent. Most macro beers have around five per cent alcohol. |
| You don't say..... President Theodore Roosevelt took more than 500 gallons of beer with him on an African safari. ------------------ There is an Egyptian beer, called bousa, that is brewed from millet and has been a favorite drink of many for over 3,000 years. Modern Ethiopia has a version made from wheat. It has been hypothesized that this might have been the origin for the word “booze.” ------------------------- In the state of Maine, it is illegal to possess an unlabeled, unregistered keg – punishment is a maximum fine of $500 and/or time in prison. It is illegal to destroy the label on a keg, punishable by a maximum fine of $1,000 or 6 months in prison -------------------------- There are many different ways of transporting beer - bottles, glass, cans and kegs are best known but in China, you can buy beer in a plastic bag! -------------------------- Modern breathalyzers work on a clever electrochemical principle. The subject's breath is passed over a platinum electrode, which causes the alcohol to bind with oxygen, forming acetic acid. In the process it loses two electrons, a process that sets up a current in a wire connected to the electrode. The higher the concentration of alcohol in the breath, the greater the electrical current, which can be read by a simple meter to indicate intoxication levels. |
