Da Vinci Code Stuff Catholics would learn more about theology and history from Monty Python and the Holy Grail than from The Da Vinci Code. Those, supposedly, the words of a priest being interviewed on ABC News. Funny and apt. Lifted from Open Book [http://amywelborn.typepad.com/openbook/].

Friday's Brews You Can Use Molson has announced a new beer [http://www.canada.com/national/nationalpost/financialpost/story.html?id=930adece-4663-4b46-9467-b968ed87e276] , "Molson Kick." It's made with guarana, a natural source of caffeine. Guarana is a fruit. Hmmm? We like Molson, but a fruity

Booze, Bouncer, BYOB . . . With the NCAA Tournament less than 24 hours away, along with the generous amount of drinking that accompanies it, we suspect this piece could be handy [http://www.moderndrunkardmagazine.com/issues/02_05/02-05_on_the_cuff.htm].
