APPARENTLY... consuming mass quantities of alcohol at one time CAN cause any conjuncture of the following:
drowsiness
loss of balance
impaired judgement
random marriages
unexplained pregnancy
repetition
random hot women appearing where ugly ones once stood
low tire pressure
random mood swings
empty refrigerators
drained bank accounts
loss of pants
bloodshot eyes
poor circulation
random vomiting
repetition
acquisition of random strippers/prostitutes
3 am phone calls
adultery
repetition
fake accent generation
fender damage
insomnia
mud but
unexplained credit card bills
random acts of senseless violence
and nausea

and i think liver damage fits in there somewhere.

Interesting fact: this is the dumbest post ever  :evil:

The most dangerous animal in the world is the common housefly. Because of their habits of visiting animal waste, they transmit more diseases than any other animal.

Anyway, In 1807, Washington Irving attached the moniker ?Gotham? to New York City in a satire publication called Salmagundi. Salmagundi, by the way, is defined as a dish of chopped meat, anchovies, eggs, onions, and seasoning.

Though much is taken, much abides; and though
 We are not now that strength which in old days
 Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
 One equal temper of heroic hearts,
 Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
 To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

The warship Mars, sunk in 1564, has been found 10Nm outside the Swedish island ?land. It had 107 guns and a crew of 800(!). It was one of the largest warships in the 16th century.. As a comparison the well known Vasa had a 445 men crew and 64 guns. Mary Rose had a crew of 415..

So this is a really large ship that has been found, it would be really cool if it could be salvaged as Mary Rose and Vasa!
