Stories of unsurpassed brillianceThis "Week" The suggestion comes from Kroney who muses
"Whilst I was passing through Miami airport at the tender age of 21, I fancied a beer. "ID" said the charming Southerner behind the desk, so I got out my passport and showed it to her.
"You have to be 21," she said. Now this confused me slightly as I had been 21 for several months by this point and my date of birth was staring her in my face.
"I am 21," I replied helpfully "it says so there, look"
"You have to be 21", she said getting angry.
Cut a long story short, I argued, the manager came out, I argued with him before I finally realised that they weren't looking at the date of birth at all. They were looking at the date of *issue*
That would have made me an annoyingly precocious four year old. What examples of unsurpassed mental genius have you experienced?"""""""

A Very Special BeerIn my early drinking years me and my pal were mostly on Fosters (I know, I know).
Anyway one day Fosters Extra Cold was launched and the local bar had these new fancy looking taps installed. When it was time to be served, my best mate was still looking at these with wonder, and with no hint of irony asked the barman what the difference was.
