    One odd piece of news if you ask me... Some scientists have extremely creepy (and strange) subject which interests them...

    I mean, really. Flies? And beer?! -shock

    Hey, don't waste the good beer! Even though I am not a fan (of beer), haven't you heard of "waste not want not"?

    isnit because beer is brewed from barley and various grains therefore beer contains lots of carbohydrates, and flies like it because its a good source of energy. Also because of this ppl who drinks alot of beer gets fat, its cuz of the high concentration of carbs.
