Right up your alley ... so to speak... you're club should have fun with this. The jokes are endless. The European Union (EU) has granted a permit to an Austrian brewery to officiallyname their beer: Fucking Hell. It's a fully legitimate permit. "Hell" in German means "Light" and the beer is produced in the Austrian town of Fucking . (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fucking,_Austria) A MUST destination in Europe The newspaper article below is even funnier than the sign! Are the residents called Fuckers? And what about the Fucking neighborhood? What are the mothers called? What would you be learning at the Fucking High School ? Where is the Fucking Post Office? Does the Fucking Hospital help you with anything else? And the Fucking drivers! If your friend came from another town, he wouldn't be your Fucking friend. Is fishing allowed in the Fucking Lake ? We had a wonderful time at Fucking. We stayed in a Fucking chalet! Fucking needs government funding. Does anyone care about Fucking? I didn't believe this was true .. So did an Internet search. It's TRUE!!! Here's more pictures and info .. Now, this one is really good! The sign says 'Bitte! Nicht so schnell', which in English translates to 'Please! Not so fast! More tidbits, and it gets even funnier! .... Pronounced 'fooking'. The little hamlet of Fucking is named after the man who founded the village in the 6th century. His name? Focko.

JABers Some more info for anyone in Eden Prairie. I asked for those levels because BeerSmith uses them in its calculations. //Mike Behrendt From: Joe Dusek [mailto:jdusek@edenprairie.org] Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2014 7:12 AM To: 'Michael Behrendt' Subject: RE: Water Report Michael, We currently do not test for the following elements you listed. It is not required by the Minnesota Department of Health and we do not have the proper equipment to run those analysis. However, if you are interested in getting those results you could bring a sample of your water to Tri-City Laboratory in Bloomington and they can run those tests for you. They are a reputable lab and have reasonable prices. Hope this helps.
