blankety-blank real important issues



My personal favorite is Old Rasputin, a Russian Imperial Stout, black and
bitter, but not too bitter.

p.s., As for Murphy, he was an engineer who designed accelerometers for
the US rocket sled experiments in the late 1940's.  The accelerobobs were
mounted on the skin of the test subject, but, unfortunately, there were
two ways to mount them, a right way and a wrong way.  The technician who
mounted them mounted all sixteen the wrong way, and Murphy delivered the
famous law to the test subject when the error was discovered (after the
initial test, of course). The test subject repeated Murphy's law to
reporters at a news conference shortly after the experiment.

The g-forces of the tests, perhaps coincidentally, temporarily made the
test subject's face look like Yoda's.
