A beer for pussies? No, a beer from pussies: the first beer with specific lactic acid bacteria from a selected vagina. Polish brewer* Order of Yoni have produced a beer containing the 'quintessence of femininity.'



Zero Hedge has the details: "Polish 'Vagina Beer' Contains 'Essence' Of Two Smoking Hot Models". "The secret of the beer lies in her vagina". No really, that’s what the Order of Yoni have on their website. And those worried about health issues fear not: the beauties in question "had undergone gynecological [sic] examinations, and then the material was double-checked in the Poznan lab to make sure that the lactic acid bacteria were isolated from the smear." Right, now I’m losing my appetite a bit...



In the Order of Yoni's FAQ they reveal in fact that they don’t brew in their own brewery but that they are ‘a craft brewery’ “that commissions brewing to our befriended, partner breweries”. Not sure whether it’s a joke or not, but they go on to say they are looking for supermodels, actresses, celebrities etc., for a future launch of a special series of beers with, for example, edible gold and saffron. Their strap-line “Bottled Instinct” sounds like a poor translation to me; will it have a yeasty aftertaste?

...of the US Oak! :-)



Interesting chart on the Visual Capitalist of milestones for US companies, prompted by Apple's recent trillion USD market valuation, "through a period of over 200 years of U.S. market history. It was inspired by this interesting post by Global Financial Data, which is worth reading in its own right."



Interesting indeed, for example, there I learnt that before 1900, the London & Northwestern Railway was the largest railroad and the largest company in the world (before that the Bank of England held the honour).



The Visual Capitalist post also mentions that Apple is not in fact the first company globally to ever hit the one trillion USD landmark: the "feat was achieved momentarily by PetroChina in 2007, after a successful debut on the Shanghai Stock Exchange that same year." Momentarily because after the one-day tripling of stock value it subsequently collapsed by nearly 80%.



What I find more interesting is the drop by more than a third in the number of companies: from 7912 in 1995 down to 5186 this year. In fact the total number of companies peaked at 9,850 in 1999;  so a drop of very nearly 50% in the first 18 years of this century.

Un oeuf is enough as the old classic goes, but in Venezuela the cost of one egg is the same as 126 litres of petrol (3.33 lorry loads) ... no, you didn't misread that. Ludicrous. "La crisis venezolana es una férrea traducción del incoherente manejo que el régimen chavista y madurista le ha dado a la economía del país durante los últimos 20 años, que hoy se encuentra desquiciada y desequilibrada" [LINK]...more or less: 'The Venezuelan crisis is a fierce representation of the incoherent management that the Chavista and [now] Madurista regime has given to the country's economy during the last 20 years, which today is deranged and unbalanced.' Deranged, I'll say; believe it or not...according to Calisa in Venezuela al Diá, Venezuelan Economist José Toro Hardy has reported* that "A petrol truck takes 38,000 litres; 1L of 91 octane petrol costs 1 Bolivar per litre [yes, one Bolivar]; therefore the cost of the truck-load is Bs38,000. Meanwhile a tray of 30 eggs costs Bs3,800,000 (they tell me that it is already more expensive). That leads to the unusual conclusion that the equivalent of the cost of the tray of eggs you could pay for 100 trucks of gasoline." Making an egg the cost of more than three truck-loads of petrol. Unusual? he also calls it 'Awful'; in fact it's fucking obscene and ridiculous.



I was so wrong in early 2006; but also so right later that year: lot has flowed under the bridge since Orinoco oil overflowing..."The Orinoco river oil strip will become the world's greatest reservoir of petroleum for the next years". This may explain why Chavez seemed so cocky and triumphant as he strutted his stuff on his world tour in the last few weeks. In my opinion it only makes him more of a danger."

Obrogation opportunities II...

Obrogation: to alter the law by passing a new law. From previous post: "The UK's European Union (Withdrawal) Bill now only requires Royal Assent, which will be on 26 June 2018..." :our Independence Day is assured.




Brexit Central:

"the Government’s flagship piece of Brexit legislation did indeed receive its Royal Assent yesterday when the Queen formally signed it into law. Lest we forget, Section 1 of the now European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 states 'The European Communities Act 1972 is repealed on exit day” - with exit day explicitly defined in the Act “as 29 March 2019 at 11.00pm'"
