Now, now...let's not jump to conclusions. It will take years to untangle this kid's motive. Probably global warming cooling climate change.

I'm sure his ties to the Tea Party and NRA are being thoroughly investigated

That's exactly why I posted the news about it in the guns/more/less thread.

The poor darling was probably upset that his order of couscous and lamb kebob wasn't prepared properly in that skank of an infidel-infested country Germany. He had to take it out on someone. He just had to.

Don't be a !@#$ing moron. It's important not to believe any rushes to ANY declarations.

How can there not be more security in Europe public spaces?

Well they should be secure. Germany is a gun free zone. What gives?

Munchen is a beautiful city. Beer was invented by the Monks there.

Germans often claim that they perfected beer but I don't think even they have the audacity to claim that they invented beer.

True. It was likely invented in Babylonia or Egypt. I was referring to a story told to me there by a local. They took beer in casks over the Alps to have the Pope bless it for their use during Lent. It spoiled along the way. The Pope tasted it and said, in effect. "They want to drink this ****? Well, okay then, go ahead."

 

I think they're the first to put hops in beer. It's a bit of a preservative. That's what the Brits did when they occupied the Indian sub-continent. But they over-hopped it to keep it from spoiling and that's why IPAs are so bitter.

 

Anyway, I'm not saying this is I. T. at this point. Not enough info to know. Could be EII or a Trump Davidian went over there and went nuts just to inflame the guns/no guns thread a bit more. :ph34r:

It wasn’t until 736 AD that there was any mention of human cultivation of hops (instead of it just growing in the wild), and the first recorded history of hops in brewing doesn’t show up until 822 AD. That distinction goes to France — Picardy in Northern France, to be exact — where Abbot Adalhard of the Benedictine monastery of Corbie wrote down a set of rules determining how the abbey was to be run. Part of the rules addresses the porter’s collection of wild hops for making beer (and what to do if he failed at his task). Germany waited another 300 years to get in to the game — somewhere between 1150 and 1160 AD.

interesting short read

Earliest written reference to it is from Sumeria, actually. The earliest chemical evidence is from 2000 years earlier. Not that we'd recognize it as beer, though. It was probably more like a sour mash.

 

Brewing beer would also mark the beginnings of chemistry. So mankind invented chemistry about 2000 years before we invented writing, simply because...beer.

 

That also means it was about 7000 years ago that a man first spoke the most common last words in history: "Here, hold my beer..."
