  • Bears eat man at beer festival

    A 23-year old Serb was found dead and half-eaten in the bear cage of Belgrade Zoo at the weekend during the annual beer festival.

    Reminds me of that quote from the Big Lebowski: \”Sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes the bear, well, he eats you.\” I hope this guy ate a bear once to bring some cosmic balance to the universe.

  • The ghost of U-Boat 33: German sub sunk in 1918 threatening to surface in Channel

    Lying in shallow waters, the wreck of the UB-33 has been disturbed by passing vessels, leading to fears that it could break free from the seabed and rise to the surface.

    So a salvage operation has been launched to prevent it hitting any of the hundreds of ships that cross the Channel each day.

    The Pirates of the Caribbean called, they want their movie plot back. It actually isn\’t that big a problem, just put a couple espresso machine sea mines around the wreck and call it a night.

  • Interesting article about southern sweet tea.

    A clear, orange-to-red tinted tea brewed from six or seven Lipton or Luzianne tea bags, poured hot onto a cup or more of sugar or a pool of simple syrup, and then diluted into a gallon pitcher in the fridge. It\’s served over a mound of ice in a huge glass—so cold that you can watch your napkin drown in a puddle of condensation.

    Sounds really refreshing. Now I\’m gonna be obsessed with it until I can find some in LA.
