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

                                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.
