The Queen is most anxious to enlist every one who can speak or write to
join in checking this mad, wicked folly of "Woman's Rights", with all its
attendant horrors, on which her poor feeble sex is bent, forgetting every
sense of womanly feeling and propriety. Lady-- ought to get a good
whipping. It is a subject which makes the Queen so furious that she cannot
contain herself. God created men and women different -- then let them
remain each in their own position.
-- Letter to Sir Theodore Martin, 29 May 1870, from
Queen Victoria
Helga, how many Germans does it take to change a light bulb ?
Ah, is this the one about the highly-trained quality control
checkers at the Lowenbrau brewery here in the beautiful city of
Munich where they have to carefully check that each and every
stage of the bier brewing process adheres to the Reinheitsgebot
ancient brewing laws laid down in 1516 which set minimum
standards for the purity of the ingredients otherwise they'd be
subject to extremely enormous fines so quality control is a
very important job both in terms of the quality of all the
Lowenbrau biers and of course the financial good health of the
company from the checking of the malted barley with the hops
not forgetting the pure Bavarian spring water by any chance ?...
