A Microbe's-Eye View of Beer 177
fjordboy writes "After a hard days work and a couple of beers, don't we all really wonder what our draft would look like under thousands of times magnification? Maybe not, but after nine years of work and five million dollars, Michael Davidson of Florida State University has created a website of microscopic proportions that will satiate anyone's curiosity. His site, MolecularExpressions.com has galleries full of images of ordinary materials under extraordinary magnification. The list of materials includes beers from around the world, popular cocktails, snoopy and many more. The site has a wealth of images that are well worth a look. CNN has a brief description of the site and the work that went into it, but feel free to skip that and just gaze at an Irish favorite." Some pretty new galleries since the last time we mentioned it.

Well the man takes a long pull of his beer and looks around and asks the bartender who those group of people at the end of the bar were. It appeared they were not drinking.
The bartender said with a scowl on his face, oh them, they are high school teachers.
The man asks why did that matter?
The bartender says they are so cheap they are waiting for happy hour.

After he finishes them, he orders another two. The barman mentions that by buying two at a time they'll both be getting warm by the end, and suggests that he just bring the second over to the guy when he's almost finished the first.
"Oh no," says the Irish man. "You see, I have to drink them like that. Many years ago my brother and I used to both sit down for a couple of pints everyday after work. Now that I've moved away, I drink this way so as to remember drinking with my brother, and my brother does the same each day, too."
The barman is impressed with this mans love for his brother, and serves up the two drinks.
For months the man comes in every day and performs this ritual. However one day, he orders just the one pint with a tear in his eye.
The barman is shocked, but gives him the one.
"I'm sorry about your loss," says the barman.
"What are you talking about?"
"Your brother," says the barman. "I assumed by only ordering one pint, and the sorrowful look on your face that your brother has passed away."
"Oh that," says the Irish man. "No, it's just that I've had to give up my drinking."

I have some of these ties... (Score:4, Funny)
I currently have Scotch, Vodka and Light beer and since I haven't had to wear a tie on a daily basis in 5 years I probably wont be getting any more.
As far as the ties go, the Light Beer looks cool, but if it's time for drinks it Vodka, Scotch then Light Beer (not all in the same night).

All of a sudden the South African drinks his beer, throws his glass in the air, pulls out a gun shoots the glass to pieces. He says "In SethEfrika our glasses are so cheap that we don't need to drink from the same one twice".
The Kiwi (obviously impressed by this) drinks his beer throws his glass into the air, pulls out his gun and shoots the glass to pieces. He says "Wull mate, in Niw Zulland we have so much sand to make the glasses that we don't need to drink out of the same glass twice, either".
The Australian, cool as a Koala, picks up his beer and drinks it, throws his glass into the air, pulls out his gun and shoots the South African and the Kiwi. He says "In Australia we have so many damn South Africans and Kiwi's that we don't need to drink with the same ones twice".
