Day: September 26, 2014

Fantasy football team owners, Vegas odds-setters and any remaining, yet inexplicable Detroit Lions fans, don’t worry. A bridge may have collapsed — killing a man — but Lions quarterback Matt Stafford is OK.

To reiterate: a bridge collapsed, a man died, traffic was blocked in both directions on a major highway to remove destroyed infrastructure and what was once a human being. But, most importantly, and what we should put in the headline, is that Matt Stafford, a guy who throws (and sometimes runs with) a football was unharmed.

He was, however, inconvenienced during others’ ultimately futile attempts to treat and prevent a man from dying. However, since he wasn’t involved in those efforts, there’s no point in reporting on them or the person who died.

Drinkers of the world: the future is now!

And by now, I mean a Belgian city that has kept its look for nearly five centuries.

The famed (or not so famed) De Halve Maan Brewery is located in Bruges. But baby, the city ain’t lookin’ so hot. Near constant driving by delivery trucks to and from the brewery has taken its toll, rumbling nearby its nearby canals and almost destroying its cobblestone streets. What’s a medieval city to do?

Put in a pipeline – a brewery pipeline, that is. The brewery will have the pipeline installed, allowing it to connect with a bottling factory while saving the rustic look of the city. The company’s director doesn’t think that anyone will be able to tap into the pipeline, but that’s never stopped a thirsty alcoholic.

Folks, we all know that animals are a threat to our safety, but it turns out that more importantly, they’re a threat to our booze.

In Australia, a wild boar got into some brews at a campground. By “some” we mean 18 beers. The beast then drunkenly went on a rampage, even fighting a cow, because apparently they have those at Australian campgrounds.

Of course, we know that cows and beer don’t mix, either.
