To boldly drink what no man has drunk before...

This week, a million fraternity brothers rushed to join NASA. The
reason: scientists have discovered beer in space.

Well, not beer exactly. But they did find alcohol: ethyl alcohol, to be
precise, the active ingredient in all major alcoholic drinks (antifreeze
Jell-O shots, quite obviously, are exempted from this category). Three
British scientists, Drs. Tom Millar, Geoffrey MacDonald and Rolf Habing,
discovered this interstellar Everclear floating in a gas cloud in the
constellation of Aquila (sign of the Eagle, the mascot of Anheuser-Busch!
Hmmmmm).

Millar and his compatriots have estimated the size of this gas cloud at
approximately 1,000 times the diameter of our own solar system; there's
enough alcohol out there, they say, to make 400 trillion trillion pints of
beer. These guys are British, mind you; if you were to translate this in
terms of American beer (which the British, with some justification,
regard as fermented club soda), the amount of potential brewski just about
doubles.

In human terms: remember that double-keg party you threw at the end of
your Junior year in college (the second Junior year)? Imagine throwing
that same party, every eight hours, for the next 30 billion years. You'd
STILL have beer left over. And boy, would YOUR bathroom be a mess! Simply
put, no one could ever drink 400 trillion trillion pints of beer, except
maybe L.A. Raiders fans.

The sheer volume of all this alcohol begs the question of how it
managed to get out there in the first place. Despite the simplifying effect
it has on the human brain, ethyl alcohol is a reasonably complex molecule:
two carbon atoms, five hydrogen atoms, and a hydroxyl radical, all cavortin=
g

togetherin beery camaraderie. It's not a compund that is going to
spontaneously arise out of the cold depths of space. It can lead to
speculation: What is this cloud?

1. It's God's beer. After all, He worked for six days creating the
universe, and on the seventh day, He rested. And after you've had a hard
week at the office, don't YOU grab a beer? Since man is made in God's image=
,

it could be that this cloud is the remaining evidence of the first,
best Miller Time.

2. It's Purgatory ("400 trillion trillion bottles of beer on the wall,
400 trillion trillion bottles of beer! Take one down, pass it around,
399,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999 bottles of beer on the wall!")

3. Proof of an undeniably highly advanced but chronically dipsomaniac
alien society. This particular theory is shaky, however: it's reasonable
to assume that if the aliens were going to construct a nebula of alcohol,
they'd also have large clouds of Beer Nuts and pretzels nearby for snacking=
