praise for Deutchland

“They brew the best beer in the world, they bear the most beautiful women in the world, they build the best cars in the world, they invented some of the best food in the world, and they exported some damn fine folks to the USA!”

“Bunch of freakin' anal retentive engineers, to a man!

BTW, you forgot the best cameras in the world.”

“How does one "invent" food?”

The point is, you've got your list and I've got mine. Food from Britain... who's a-thunk it?”

“Just goes to show how little we, as Americans, know about European countries. I do not think the average American knows very much about Europe or any other continent, for that matter.”

Those of you who were in the Netherlands, where did you go?”

“In the Neolithic era humans began to move from hunting gathering to collecting plants and agriculture as a means to gather food. One of the most widely cultivated plants was wheat, which was hulled, ground up, mixed with water, kneaded, and cooked into a bread-like food or made into porridge. Sometime later stored grain became germinated and people probably noticed how much sweeter it got. Later still the mixtures were put into vessels and became an unexpected beverage. By chance is perhaps the most probable way that beer was invented. Later in Egypt and Europe beer came into production and is said to have been used by Egyptian women as a cosmetic. During the Middle Ages in Europe high quality beer began to be produced in the monasteries and was often enjoyed by the common folk. Around that time in Germany the principle and rules for purity in beer, the simple "Malt, Hops, and Water" laws were put out. Various measures were enacted to support and improve the quality of beer at the time.”

“"beer came into production and is said to have been used by Egyptian women as a cosmetic."

Funny - now it's used by men in place of women's cosmetics.”
