Bei vielen Sachen bin ich ja doch eher skeptisch, aber was dieser nette aus England stammende Professor so von sich gibt, kling absolut einleuchtend. Nach seiner Argumentation ist unser Bier der Auslöser aller technologischen Errungenschaften der Menschheit. Also kein Bier, keine iPod :-)

Seine englische Erklärung muss man sich echt auf der Zunge zergehen lassen:

"Because before beer was discovered, people used to wander around and follow goats from place to place. And then they realized that this grain [barley] could be grown and sprouted and made into a bread and crumbled and converted into a liquid which gave a nice, warm, cozy feeling. So gone were the days that they followed goats around. They stayed put while the grain grew and while the beer was brewed. And they made villages out of their tents. And those villages became towns, and those towns became cities. And so here we are in New York, thanks to beer."

Somit ist klar, in der Früh wird bei uns jetzt statt Kaffee immer ein dicker Humpen Bier verdrückt. In diesem Sinne, Prost!
