POPSMan urinates way out of avalanche. Clever thinking. I would've tried pouring the beer, but that probably wouldn't work well. By the time I'd have to go to the bathroom, it'd probably be to late.

POPSThis Day in History-July 21 'Infamous Monkey Trial' "To show up fundamentalism,""to prevent bigots and ignoramuses from controlling the educational system of the United States." said Darrow. So what has changed after 80 years of intellectual backwardness?! Would this case be out of place in Bush's America - in the land of the 'free and home of the brave', mired in debt and death of its own making? Where now is the shinning beacon of liberty? What country has made 'democracy' a dirty word. What county elects an AWOL drunk as commander-in-chief, TWICE? Where is the KKK a white sheet away from power and the noose? What country is still loved even by it pseudo enemies?

POPSWish You Were Beer Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, it is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver. I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day. Remember: "I" before "E," except in Budweiser. I drink only to make my friends seem interesting. Everybody should believe in something; I believe I'll have another drink. Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXdNnw99-Ic

POPSMADD: Such Creative People Some posters placed in bathrooms by MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). I find the idea very original, creative and effective.

POPSAbsinthe Goes From Banned Drug to Legal Liquor Breaux's research — finally published this spring in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry (.pdf) — and that Wired story have helped change absinthe's image from drug to drink. The US has been slowly peeling away its ban, and in March, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau approved the sale of absinthes that were "thujone free" (containing less than 10 parts per million).

POPSRat Park: What you think you know about drug addiction is wrong
More: …rats will choose to stay high and whacked out all of the time if they are trapped in solitary confinement, but they don't like being dopey when they are in a better environment…Rats have their own agenda, and it doesn't include being locked up alone in a steel cage in a laboratory, pressing a lever…most humans are like that too. It is an old stereotype that it is the poorest people, in the slums and ghettos, who stay drunk or stoned all day long…Most people, in better environments, don't really want to stay doped out all of the time…try a few thought experiments…a guy is locked in solitary confinement…he doesn't even know for how long, or if he will ever get out, and there is plenty of alcohol and dope available…Does he use?…enough to get obliterated? Probably. …a guy is locked up in a big luxurious hotel suite with the entire Swedish bikini ski team. Again, the full supply of alcohol and drugs is also available…Does he stay obliterated all of the time? Highly unlikely.

POPSTen Things I’d Love to Tell My Younger Self 8. When meeting someone new and he or she seems to be behaving like an ass**le, show compassion first. If after you display your sincere compassion, they are still acting like an assh*le, walk away. If they follow you, call the police. Have a great Sunday, everyone! .:) Clip Song

POPSChocolate Beer 3000 years old Should Make some. Looks like it was invented before chocolate drinks. I haven't found a recipe, but it could just be a matter of knowing how to brew.

POPSAlice Cooper is a Golf Addict Wow, I had no idea until I heard an interview with him on NPR today. 36 holes, 6 days a week certainly beats the heck out of drinking constantly. I hit the driving range the other day for the first time in a long while -- I'm a long way from touching Cooper's handicap of 4. Apparently he shot a 71 in the opening round of the Phoenix Open.

POPSGod-Drunk vs. Godless From the Atlantic Monthly's article "The American Idea" - Scholars, novelists, politicians, artists, and others look ahead to the future of the American idea. I thought the juxtaposition of these two pieces in particular was interesting. Sam Harris is the author of The End of Faith (2004) and Letter to a Christian Nation (2006). Tim LaHaye is a minister and the author of more than 50 books, including the best-selling Left Behind series. I have clipped both pieces below because Atlantic Monthly won't let you view the entire article.

POPSThe Ghastly Death of Mary Queen of Scots Mary’s dog was discovered to be hiding under her skirts. When the pet was pulled out, it insisted on lying between the shoulders and decapitated head of her body. Eventually, Mary’s servants took the dog, but not until it was thoroughly soaked in its dead master’s blood. Even for the people of the time, jaded from by frequent public executions, Mary’s beheading was full of exceptionally terrifying surprises.
