Pope Benedict XVI Approves Beer

As I have stated in previous posts, I am not overly religoius, however, I am starting to like the new Pope. It appears that the Pope has recently given a “thumbs-up” to the Stuttgart brewery “Stuttgarter Hofbreau”, a brewery in the Pope’s native homeland of Germany. According to this article, “following a label change”

The brewery sent a beer truck to Rome this past weekend to deliver 700 liters, or 185 U.S. gallons of beer to Pope Benedict XVI.

Evidently, it’s good to be the Pope.

How a Lightsaber Works

With the upcoming release of Star Wars Episode III, the electronics channel of How Stuff Works has an interesting article on How A Lightsaber Works. If nothing eles it is an interesting read. I don’t know where they got all the information on the subject, but for myself it is pretty cool. I am sure, however, that there is some fanatical Star Wars fan out there who will read it and freak out because something is wrong.
