Recommended Posts

o.k. Feeling a bit punchy tonight. :P

Riddle:

"If it's a 50 mph wind, and you drive your car 50 mph downwind, if you stick your head out the window, do you feel the wind?"

:)

I'm thinking if the winds are 50 mph I'm going to be in my living room with my feet propped up drinking my Fosters.

Do they still have that ridiculous campaign that 'Fosters is Australian for beer' over there? >:(

1. The Fosters you get in America is brewed in Canada! It's not Australian at all.

2. Nobody in Australia drinks the Australian-made Fosters (although the most favoured beers are made by the same brewery, CUB). It's only available in 'larger' bottle shops (liquor stores). It's generally exported to other countries in the South-Pacific region. (Probably with the same stupid ad campaign.)

3. Both the Australian-brewed and Canadian-brewed Fosters taste like crap.

4. Obvious conclusion: Fosters is not 'Australian for beer'. Your TV is lying to you!!! :S

I don't give a shit if it's made in Guatemala by enslaved black market Eskimos in a sweat shop...I like the taste.

Funny you say they don't make it in Australia. I'm looking at their homepage where it lists 3 different locations. Wanna book a tour?



Fosters is made in Australia (and I never said it wasn't - reread my post). The stuff you get in America, however, is made in Canada. :)
And Fosters does taste like crap! Ask an Aussie! ;)

Who said I gave a shit what other people's opinions of what beer I drink?



Actually, my original post was about the misleading advertising campaign for Fosters in America, and not a comment on your personal taste. It was also intended to be fairly lighthearted (as evidenced with the smileys and [/hijack] quotes).

However, as it has clearly hit a nerve, I'll cease and desist now. :)

I agree - Foster's is crap.

The wind you feel when you stick your head out the window is in the middle of a vortex of air that is caused by the slipstream your car pushing the air out of the way. It is far from linear, so the idea of "relative wind cancellation" does not apply, although the wind will be less because your car is not pushing as much air out of the way.

Theoretically, if you got in a place that was flat and for some reason the hurricane wind traveled in a straight line, and you managed to drive that spot, exactly downwind, and your car and your head had zero surface area (I know some people like that :P), then yes, you would feel no wind. But then again, if you had zero surface area, there would be no surface to push the air against, so no you wouldn't feel wind.

Next late night riddle. Given that I sleep naked, If I woke up and came downstairs because I heard a noise, and there was a burglar in the house, would the burglar flee in terror or rape me at knifepoint?
Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

I've been to Australia and had Foster's there. It tastes identical to the stuff I drink here.



Ya know, I used to have a friend that felt the same about Natural Light - Obviously his moral compass was too skewed to continue the friendship.B|
