SC The fact that you claim it to be the finest Canadian beer tells me that either you've not tasted much in the way of beer, or you have little to no taste buds 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,067 Posted April 27, 2015 10 years ago today John mills died he was 97. Fun fact today is also the 10th birthday of my little brother Isn't there some talk (particularly in the USA) that when a person dies their soul is transferred to a newly born? Could your brother be John Mills reincarnated? Oh and happy birthday to the little one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could your brother be John Mills reincarnated? Oh and happy birthday to the little one. Ha yes I like that idea. Perhaps a few kick that around the block. If so, I was born the day after Robert Holley (carbuerator fame) died. You gotta figure it takes 24 hours to recycle. Sadly despite being born in Detroit I'm no grease monkey so it must have been another baby in the maternity ward that day lol. SirC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,614 Posted May 1, 2015 BTW, fun fact: A day after Hitler and Braun killed themselves, another German husband and wife killed themselves: The Goebbels.

Phantom 2,535 Posted May 1, 2015 I'm surprised nobody posted Albert Hoffman's 7th death anniversary. Would've done it myself, but I was too busy. It's only the 7th anniversary. not such a big deal as when it's 10, 20, 25 years etc. I used to post each year, but then it gets to be too much with just another year having gone by.
