I can never spell Yuengling right the fist time, so I googled the sp for another post. I found myself looking at their site and I read the history they offer. Pretty neat stuff. It's amazing how something started small so long ago survived and is still kickin.
21 n over on the company site (whatever) but here's their history thing http://www.yuengling.com/history.htm
1829 David G. Yuengling establishes the Eagle Brewery on Centre Street in Pottsville, Pennsylvania.
1873 Brewery name is changed to D.G. Yuengling and Son after David's son Frederick joins his father as partner.
1919 The Eighteenth Amendment is ratified, enacting a call for the national prohibition of alcohol. To survive, Yuengling switches production to near beer products.
1933 Prohibition ends. The brewery celebrates with the production of Winner Beer and ships a truckload to President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
1976 The brewery is placed on the national and state registers as America's oldest brewery during the American Bicentennial.
1979 The brewery celebrates its 150th anniversary.



Okay then, now you edjamacate me 'bout something kool X'D

X'D Prohibition... the reason for soooo many Irish immigrants :P

There's something ya wouldn't find in textbooks, but you'd find sex in there.

An estimated 140 thousand people died when the United States
dropped Little Boy on Hiroshima, August 6, 1945.


July 30, 1945, after completing a top secret mission to deliver parts of the atom bomb "Little Boy" the USS Indianapolis was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine in the Philippine Sea.
It sank in about 12 minutes.
Of 1,196 men on board, approximately 300 went down with the ship. The rest of the crew was left floating in shark-infested waters.
August 2, the survivors were spotted.
All but 321 men had drowned, died of hypothermia, or been eaten by sharks. 4 more died in military hospitals shortly thereafter.

THE tyrannosaurs were a group of large carnivorous dinosaurs that roamed North America and Asia during the last part of the Cretaceous, 85 to 65 million years ago.
T. rex was one of the largest terrestrial carnivores of all time. It stood up to 18 feet high, 40 feet in length, and weighed roughly six tons. In its 4 foot mouth were six-inch long, sharp, serrated teeth.The T.rex had proportionatly tiny arms that were unable to grasp or hold anything, small eyes and poor vision, and huge olfactory lobes that let it smell dinner from many miles away. The rex had legs were built for walking long distances, not chaseing after prey.

Large animals need a larger fraction of their body mass as leg muscles in order to do the same things that smaller animals can do, like run or even sprint short distances, but there is a limit to how large that fraction can be. Since the force a muscle can generate increases less rapidly than body weight, the muscles of larger animals generate less force per unit of weight than the muscles of smaller animals. Applied to living animals such as chickens and alligators, the model verifies that chickens are good runners whereas alligators cannot run on two feet. Applied to what is known about dinosaurs, it shows that large dinosaurs were probably not swift runners.

The body and brain of the rex was not built for hunting, but more for scavageing. That is not to say the rex didn't hunt at all. It would have been a cautious animal as falling down or being hit with great force could lead to broken bones and death. The rex was fierce enough to chase off other predators from a potential meal. Fossile evidence shows that the rex bit right through the bone of many large dinosaurs.


somebody else take a turn at this. I'm starting to feel like everybody's on the stage, and it seems like I'm the only person sitting in the audience ^_^;
Nerd woman out :meh:

I personaly find some people put way too much importance in alcohol. :disgust:

Bleach in the gas tank will not stop the engine, though it is an oxidizer and will turn the gas tank (and presumibly most of the engine) to rust. Bleach in the oil will seize up an engine within a short amount of time.

In the 1940s, the FCC assigned television's Channel 1 to mobile services (two-way radios in taxicabs, for instance) but did not re-number the other channel assignments. That is why your TV set has channels 2 and up, but no channel 1.


and a couple of wrong ones:

"A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why." - False. A duck's quack does echo, but because the sound waves don't change after hitting an object, it's very hard to record. (thank you Mythbusters)

"Mel Blanc, the voice of Bugs Bunny, was allergic to carrots." - He wasn't allergic, he just hated them. They tried a lot of other vegitables to get the sound, but nothing else worked. So he would bite a carrot, say the line, then they would pause recording so he could spit out the carrot bite.

spit the carrot out! thats great! X'D
I remember this interview w/ the chick that was Jaws' first victem in the first movie. She was talking about recording the drownding/screaming sounds in the studio. She was basically sticking her face in this bowl of water, screaming and gagging and what not. Steven Spielberg had to leave the room, the sounds were making him sick.

Specially in college....:disgust:

As a college student, I whole heartedly agree with that as well.

How to Pancake a car
1. Purchase 4 gallons of maple syrup, 5 dozen eggs, 2 bags industrial sized flour, 4 gallons of milk, and 4 tubs of Cristco.
2. Smear Cristco over windows and door handles.
3. Proceed to egg the car.
4. Pour on milk starting at the roof of the car.
5. Add maple syrup.
6. Finally top it all off with the flour.
7. Sit back, and laugh your ass off.

Yes it is costly, but if you get a big group in on it, it's not too bad really. It's a great way to really get back at somebody too.
