Slow news day today. A few things:

Interesting, though I'm tectonically ignorant: "[Africa is being torn apart. And as Ethiopia's rift valley grows slowly wider, an international team of scientists is taking a unique opportunity to plot the progress of continents on the move](http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/01/070129100550.htm?ref=thedailyeudemon.com)."

The NFL needs to be taken outside and spanked: "[The NFL has nixed a church's plans to use a wall projector to show the Colts-Bears Super Bowl game, saying it would violate copyright laws](http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/football/nfl/specials/playoffs/2006/02/01/bc.fbn.superbowl.church.ap/index.html?cnn=yes&ref=thedailyeudemon.com)." Some day, the major sports will take a fall for their hubris, but at this juncture, I can't imagine how it'll happen. I just hope I live to see it.

Funny Conan: "Russia has announced it's holding its annual beauty pageant for nuclear power plant workers. Apparently last year's winner had the most beautiful three eyes they've ever seen."

**Brews You Can Use**

*Even though my drinking has been sidelined, that's no reason to stop my weekly writings about the good stuff.*

[A new beer blogger from London](http://stonch.blogspot.com/index.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). He's a pub crawler, and he has some great pictures. Here's the first line I read on his blog: "As a kid, Draught Guinness was the first beer I really enjoyed." *As a kid*. What's not to like about that?

I think I'm gonna hurl! [A Japanese brewery has produced a low-malt beer with milk](http://www.realbeer.com/news/articles/news-003090.php?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). The only bright side to this news is, it'll help twelve-year-olds develop healthy bones.

[Favorite drinks of the rich and famous throughout history](http://www.worldsbiggestcookbook.com/drinks/rich-famous/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). A few of my favorites. Napoleon and Oscar Wilde: Absinthe. Faulkner: Mint Julep. Hemingway: Pretty much everything.

Great quote from Oscar Wilde seen on the same site: "Work is the curse of the drinking class."
