I dunno, I like the taste.
Now, Zwack, on the other hand, is/was some seriously vile stuff.
TIL what "dagmar bumpers" are, and the origin of the term.
TIL there's a stop light in Burkseville, Kentucky. Unfortunately I know this because a local law enforcement official told me a couple miles down the road from it.
Today I learned that the town just north of here, which controls three of the five ways onto Absecon Island, has decided to do major roadwork to all it's major roads at the same time. I am so glad my three week vacation starts in two days.
TIL that I have the same birthday as Walter Rohrl, who is a driver I've often really appreciated as he not only won in whatever kind of car he was driving, but also approached driving in a severely analytical manner.

Was he the one, when confronted by someone over how delicate a rally car was (Lancia, maybe), he just replied something like, I don’t plan on crashing?

Not sure.
He did get kicked out of the RAC after complaining mightily that it was "blind" (no recce allowed), and he refused Rally Finland at least one year because he said he wanted to drive a car, not fly an airplane.
And then there was the time he was thoroughly determined to force a good performance from an ill handling POS, and won San Remo in 1985 in what can only be described as a masterclass of dedication, preparation, and skill.
TIL that the words are actually "weed, whites and wine" and not "wheat, rice and wine".
Sorry Lowell, I like my version better.

I learned that last week. Today I learned that Johnny Cash took his shoes off on live tv during a drug binge.
TIL: There is a such thing as "botanical fruits" and "culinary fruits". Apparently, many of the things we think of a veggies are technically fruits based on the botanical definition, but aren't considered "fruits" in the food sense because they don't have a sweet flavor. Most of you probably already knew this.

TIL that Otis the drunk from the Andy Griffith show was also the voice of Uncle giggles, Joe Rockhead and Rock Roll among many others.
Blown away.
TIL I was reminded that they reintroduced elk to North Carolina in 2001.
My sister in law got a picture of one up near Maggie Valley.
Also, TIL that this Canadian Safety Film exists.
I'd bet a Loonie that Keith has heard of it.
TIL that a guy I race with, who is quite well off, has bullied Jaguar into importing an extra Project-8 into the US because all but one is spoken for and that one is blue and, dammit, he wants an orange one. Must be nice to have money.
