    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...

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

        What's the difference between Canada and the US you ask? In the US "Moosehead" is a beer, in Canada it's a felony.

                          I always thought it was on the sixth day. On the seventh he needed to rest.

                                  Beer is mentioned in the Bible in a few places; it certainly pre-dates Germans, French, British (even Belgians and Czechs, those master brewers), etc.
