It's Oktoberfest time again. Leave it to
The Big Picture to cover it with their typical superb
fashion. I don't know why, but #22 makes me want a beer,
real bad.

Beer. Is there anything it
can't do?

Women dressed in traditional Bavarian clothes enjoy their beer in a beer tent during the 173rd Oktoberfest, the biggest beer festival in the world, in Munich, October 2, 2006. Germans, in party mood after the World Cup and cheered by a pickup in the economy, have 18 days to consume millions of litres of beer and hundreds of thousands of sausages as the festival has been extended to include October 3 public holiday.
I know, dear reader, I've said this
before. But I'll say it again, for there is one thing in Bavaria better than beer.
Make that two things.

Mmmmm. . . . .beer! Is there anything it
can't do?
Legions of thirsty beer-lovers flooded Munich for the start of its world-famous Oktoberfest on Saturday, bent on bacchanalian excess but vowing to stagger to the polling booths for Sunday's elections.
Over the next 17 days Munich, the capital of the southern state of Bavaria, will welcome around 6 million devoted drinkers, expected to consume enough beer to fill around six Olympic-sized swimming pools.
"You feel pretty sloshed by the end of the night," she said.
I'm thirsty, and I don't know why.
