Reminds me of this dutch commercial. 
In case anyone asks, "biertje?" translates as "want a beer?" |

Mah, we got much better beers in the Netherlands, even the regular pilseners. After you've tasted a Gulpener or Hertog Jan and decided there must be a god after all, Heineken just doesn't give you that same euforia. |

Bah! That was nothing but propaganda pushing the Moon/ Mars landings. Everyone knows that they were all done on Hollywack movie sets and this one was too. It was made to convince the gullible public it all actually happened.
It's kind of like the really neat, planet pictures NASA clains were taken by some Star Trek probe or other. All a fraud. After all, it's a lot cheaper & easier to phony up something or other, lay it on everybody by somebody with esoteric initials after his signature, then pocket the leftover cash from the government grants.
Fraud, I say! FRAUD!!
Heineken's better'n Bud, anyway.

Certainly true, but try and tell that to those who tailgate at the NASCAR events. If they're not swilling Bud, it's usually something called, Natural Lite. I can't tell the difference.
They're ok to making beer batter for frying fish, though. The good stuff is too expensive for such things.

On an early incarnation of SFN, back when we were The Truth and Other Lies all those years ago, @tomic created a video of the energizer bunny running across the martian landscape after the first Rover sent back pictures. I wonder where that video is now?

Yeah!!! Given the much lower atmospheric pressure on Mars, I would expect those bubbles in that beer to literally explode out the liquid they were contained within. |

And, what are the temperatures on Mars during daytime?
Most likely the beer would boil even at earth atmospheric pressure! |
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

Nah, daytime temperature averages around 27 degrees centigrades. |

| And without any huge temperature variation? Like from super-hot to super-cold like the moon? |

Damn you people. I spend hours making up elaborate and timely topical Photoshop spoofs that get no comments at all. Then I take ten minutes to put a rat on a hog into a photo from Mars, and suddenly it's a hit. Key Riced.

Don't get me wrong.
I really love your National geocentric. It is fun and witty as hell. It's nearly perfect.
Too perfect to do more than congratulate you, maybe.
Plus, the second post of this thread was about beer. Is there any subject that'd draw us quicker than booze?

Supercold, yes. Superhot apparantly not. |
