| Jan-01-10 | | dakgootje: < Five thousand beers for me!> You need help with them?
Makes you wonder what the biggest amount of beer drunk in 24 hours by a single person is... Undoubtedly, the Guinness Book of Records has the answer. |

| | HeMateMe: <the biggest amount of beer drunk in 24 hours by a single person > Senator Blutarsky! |
|
| Jan-03-10 | | NakoSonorense: <Undoubtedly, the Guinness Book of Records has the answer.> Apparently not. The Guinness Book banned all alcohol records in 1991, so we wouldn't know the answer from this source unless the record was set before that year. Whatever the record, I'm sure it's out of this world. Take this for example: <The 1977 edition listed the new world record established at the Gingerbreadman Pub by Steven Petrosino, (age 25) of New Cumberland, Pennsylvania on June 22, 1977. Petrosino drank <1 litre of beer in 1.3 seconds>> ! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinki... |

| | HeMateMe: <Petrosino drank <1 litre of beer in 1.3 seconds>> Doesn't seem physically possible. You can't pour a quart of beer into a funnel, in the shape of the human throat, in just 2 seconds. But I;m sure the winner was a fast drinker. |

| Jan-03-10 | | NakoSonorense: Agreed. It seems surreal. Here's how he allegedly did it: "Drink warm beer: Cold liquids constrict the throat, slowing drinking times. Early beer speed drinking records (by Peter Dowdswell, and others) were set in England when participants consumed the the relatively warmer english-style brews, compared to the heavily chilled American-style beers. "Drink flat beer: Allow the beer to go flat (i.e. lose its carbonation--English-style east-tap beers are less carbonated than American beers such as Budweiser, Schlitz and Miller, which were commonly preferred US beers at the time I set my record in 1977). "Engineer the drinking vessle using principles of fluid dynamics While working on my Master's Degree at Penn State, I studied the vessels with the best design for emptying themselves of fluid. Interestingly, the pilsner glass is best, since its bottom is the point of a cone rather than the circular area enscribed by the bottom of a cylinerical vessel such as a beer mug or standard water glass. The point of a cone (the pilsner glass) offers a tiny flat-plate area, whereas the bottom of a cylinder (such as a beer mug or traditional glass) offers a large flat-plate area. When a cylinder is inverted, a reverse meniscus occurs which causes a void between the base of the mug and the departing liquid. This vacuum holds the liquid in the glass for a fraction of a second, until a plume of air proceeds up the side of the glass and breaks the vacuum, releasing the liquid. Since the bottom of a pilsner glass is a point, this phenomenon doesn't occur. Hence, you can empty a 1 liter pilsner glass slightly faster that a 1 liter cylinder. A beer bottle or can further complicates this, since in addition to a cylinder flat plate area, it further slows emptying with a small opening that impedes the escape of the liquid." http://www.beerrecord.com/guinness_... |

| Jan-17-10 | | Where is my mind: A Beer
to celebrate completion of my 1000th GameKnot game.
Is 1000 correspondance games enough? |
|
| Jan-24-10 | | whiteshark: She told me we couldn't afford Beer anymore and that I would have to quit.
Then I caught her spending €65 for make up.
I asked her how come I had to give up stuff and she didn't.
She said she needed the make up to look pretty for me.
I told her that was what the Beer was for.
I don't think she's coming back. |

| | tpstar: <WannaBe> Nice game! 1 ... e5 is a great response against the English, maintaining a center Pawn with easy development. White often plays g3 & Bg2 so I like 2 ... Nc6 & 3 ... f5 Opening Explorer off the bat instead of regrouping for ... f5 later. I also play NID as Black so I often meet Nc3 with ... Bb4, but 3 ... g6 & 4 ... Bg7 is fine if you like the KID as Black. Your game transposed to the KID proper after 6. d4 d6 Opening Explorer and then 9. f4!? is a very sharp move for White. After 10 ... Nc5 I would have expected 11. b4 (Bayonet) and then maybe 11 ... Ne6 12. Be3 & 13. Qd2 with an interesting game. 11. e5!? is usually a bad plan since the isolated advanced Pe5 is soon lost, and 13 ... Nxe5 would have worked without needing to kick the Bf4 with 13 ... h6 & 14 ... g5. 16 ... Nxc4! was a nice Zwischenzug (In-Between Move) winning material as the Be3 was attacked, then White fell apart with 17. Re1?? Nxe3 (Remove the Guard) 18. Rxe3 Bxd4 and you were soon up a Rook. Next time trade Queens with 20 ... Qxd1+ 21. Rxd1 Bxc5 for an easy endgame win. Good job. =) |

| Mar-12-10 | | mysql: <zanshin: <Milo: BASIC was the first language I learned, and it is much harder than C. My advice is that you learn C, C++, or Java before trying anything else.> Are you serious? BASIC is much harder than C? C is one of my favorite languages but I use VisualBasic .NET daily and would not make such a rash statement. BASIC (in the form of) VB.NET has made admirable gains to incorporate many of the C/C++ standard features: e.g. multi-threading. But C/C++ still take the lead in such capabilities as memory management, pointers etc. That's the reason much (if not most) systems software and commerical apps are still written in C/C++. And there's a reason BASIC is an acronym for <Beginner>'s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code!> >Maybe he means it's "harder" because the syntax is not as terse. |
