Light beer to go entirely weightless

If we didn't know how sex works in space, we will soon, thanks to Michal's beer brewing experiment. Also: swaying, burps, vomiting and shame.

Over the past 52 years, humans have learned a lot about living in space. We’ve learned that spiders are still gross in zero-G. We’ve learned that absolutely nobody has experimented with sex in a weightless environment at all (::wink::). We’ve learned that, while pencils write without gravity, pencil shavings also fly willy-nilly without gravity into instrumentation.

But, it took an 11-year-old Colorado sixth grader to ask the obvious question: can we brew beer up there?

Congratulations, Michal Bodzianowski. If it works, we’ll toast to your success. And you can return the sentiment in, oh, ten years.

Is your pint really a pint?

Folks, for too long, the American people have been getting fleeced. They spend their hard-earned money, and expect to get what they pay for, only to be swindled. Michigan is looking to take a stand for those who belly up to the bar.

A bill being considered in the state House would prevent bars and restaurants from the dirty practice of offering “pints” that are really only 12 fluid ounces. (We don’t need to tell you fine drinkers that a pint is 16.) The Guys would like to see a law like this get adopted nationwide.

Or, you could do what we do, and make friends with the bartenders and get free drinks.
