COULD compounding by the light
of the moon produce better drugs?
Well that’s certainly the theory
of a Belgian brewery which has
begun selling special batches of
beer brewed beneath a full moon.
“We made several tests and
noticed that the fermentation was
more vigorous, more active,” said
the owner of Brewery Caulier in
Peruwelz, southern Belgium.
“The end product was
completely different, stronger, with
a taste lasting longer in the
mouth,” he said.
It’s claimed that the full moon
speeds up the fermentation
process, with the powerful
boutique brew containing a hefty
10% alcohol by volume.
THE latest must-have safety
article is a zucchini.
One of the tasty green
vegetables has reportedly saved
the life of a woman in Montana,
USA after she was threatened in
her back yard by a rampaging
black bear.
The Associated Press reports
that she was in her garden when
the 90kg beast attacked one of
her dogs.
“She kicked the bear with her
left leg as hard as she could,”
said a police spokesman.
“But the animal would not
retreat until struck by a 14-inch
courgette (zucchini) from the
home owner’s garden,” he added.
ANIMAL welfare authorities in the
UK have solved the mystery of
who dyed a cat bright pink.
RSPCA officers were called by a
man who found the colourful kitty
in his garden, with suspicions that
the animal had been dyed by a
group of young troublemakers.
However a short time later the
cat was claimed by its owner, who
admitted that she had turned the
normally white cat pink using
food colouring - to match her own
pink hair.
22-year-old Natasha Gregory
said “Pink is my favourite colour. I
love it. I’ve dyed my hair pink and
I adore pink clothes. I always
wanted a pink animal”.
