Jeeze, Steve, she writes for Uncommon Descent, you can't expect her to read it too!
Moving on to Oktoberfest, for you 'festers who haven't been posting recently, probably because you are under a table somewhere sleeping it off (or "looking for your tuba" as the Germans say), here's a blurb from the Doonesbury site: | Quote | "Visitors to the Munich Oktoberfest this year drank their way into the history books by downing an unprecedented 7 million liters of beer...The impressive list of lost items includes...a leather whip, a live rabbit, a tuba, a ship in a bottle, 1,450 items of clothing, 770 identity cards, 420 wallets, 366 keys, 330 bags and 320 pairs of glasses, 90 cameras and 90 items of jewelry and watches. A total of 37 children were also lost."

As Major "King" Kong said in Dr. Strangelove, "A leather whip, a live rabbit, a tuba, a ship in a bottle, discarding 1,450 items of clothing and drinking 7 million liters of beer - shoot, a fella could have a pretty good time in Vegas with all this stuff."
