#2 "About 20,000 gallons of beer leaked from three cars of the Roanoke-bound train."
I believe I can hear a low, agonized moaning.... and the stampede of guys with buckets converging on the area.

#7 The least they could do is tell us what kind of beer. I'm not rushing off to Virginia for Schaeffer, or Hamms, or Meisterbrau but I might if it's Sam Adams.

#8 I think it was last year sometime, that a Jim Beam distillery caught fire and burned? In my liver's opinion, that was an infinitely more tragic event.
