    There was a discussion on the Germans, French and the British below. My question (maybe controversial) - Who invented Beer? :)

    Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest.
    Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for...

              Him again? He takes credit for everytying! Who wants to bet this God fellow is a do-nothing VP with a corner office, and that beer was actually invented by a cubical dwelling grunt? At least, that's how things work in my company.

                              In Canada, beer and god are both based on faith. Canadians just believe that what they are served is beer :rolleyes: [just doing my bit of racial jokes this morning]

                                  Ben Franklin was quoted as saying that Beer is proof that god love us and wants us to be happy. (maybe slightly misquoting here).

                                    Canadian (and American) beer is like sex in a canoe: f-ing close to water.

                                      It might have been Adam. After all, he needed time off from Eve. Adam may also be credited for inventing the first pub.
