I actually think it tastes remarkably like beer. The problem is, it doesn't feel like beer as it's going down, so there's a mental disconnect that happens.

Today I learned that there is such a thing as The Royal School of Needlework. I did not know that before.

The other day I learned that NASA found a HUGE frozen lake of CO2 buried deep at the south pole on Mars. And while this is fascinating enough, in and of itself, what kind of freaked me out a little, was learning that a couple of billion years ago, Mars was pretty much like earth! I do not want to imagine that earth will ever become as uninhabitable as Mars, even if the possibility of that isn't for billions of years. Yikes!
