And more facts from the wonder of Dave's World

Way back in 1777, a man by the name of Frederick the Great of Prussia issued a manifesto claiming beer’s superiority over coffee.

His argument was that coffee got in the way of the country’s beer consumption, apparently hoping a royal statement would make Prussians eager for a pint of beer in the morning instead.

Frederick’s statement proclaimed, “His Majesty was brought up on beer,” explaining why he thought breakfast drinking was a good idea.

I don't see anything like that being proposed nowadays. Pity.

Dave also has some Beatles trivia for us and a disgruntled mathematician refusing a sh*tload of cash.
