Today is St. Patrick's Day and millions
across the globe will be celebrating the Irish holiday. Aside
from a sea of green clothing and leprechauns, one of the day's
main characteristics is the mass consumption of alcohol. And
perhaps one of the most popular beverages served on this day
is the Irish stout, Guinness.

A major Guinness debate has existed over the years: Do the
bubbles really float down. A group of scientists have found
the answer: Yes they do. After close examination, it was
revealed that, as a pint settles, bubbles touching the walls
of the glass experience drag and that prevents them from
floating up. The bubbles in the middle, however, are free to
rise.

So if you plan on celebrating today, please remember to do so
responsibly. And if you need a conversation starter for a
beautiful stranger, sinking bubbles are sure to do the trick.

Hmmmmmmmm, lemme see, . . .

"the bubbles in the middle, however, are free to rise."

So, are the bubbles the people of the Western world, free to rise, in a free market, and the other bubbles are . . .

ahhhhhhhhhh, you're a cute dog Ed, but now you've got me feeling like the Aflac duck after his conversation with Yogi Berra in the barber shop.
