The pint of beer is the pinnacle of perfection. There is nothing more beautiful than its amber glow, there is nothing more tastier than its hoppish tang,  there is nothing more relaxing than its soporific effect.

Man could not have created something as perfect. It is beyond all human achievement each glorious pint of beer must have been created by a higher power than man itself and is thus proof of god’s existence.

Abraham Lincoln summed it up by once saying:

“I can see how it might be possible for someone to look around on earth and not believe in God, but I cannot conceive how anyone could look into a pint of fine ale and say there is no God.”

Please feel free to flame me if I just wasted 5 minutes of your life. I wasted the same writing it.

Imagine this shocking scenario. One day in a neighbour hood not too dissimilar to yours a group of malevolent young troublemakers get hold of a camera, some postage stamps and a copy of Google maps. What do they do next? Read on..

Instead of writing letters to their pen pals about all the great places they’ve been to like kids would have in the good old days they use Google maps streetview to navigate around a city on the other side of the world. A city they have never been to.

They find strange houses like this one, the old and frail, the mentally disabled and the ridiculously wealthy. Large businesses and important places of government. Even the unfortunate are a target. Instead of learning about these places they do something shocking.  They take a photo of their bottom and mail it to those addresses. They keep doing it until they run out of stamps.

How many people did they manage to traumatise? How many people’s sensibilities were shocked and shattered? All with the aid of Google street view. Is street view a valuable online tool or terrorist’ss aid I ask you.

Now for something completely stupid….

I’m not sure if this is classified as animal cruelty or not.

Following on from my post about Sculpture by the sea this year in Bondi. I ask the question – What is art?

Is this mysterious bovine art? Read on past the photo…
