This is why we should all be drinking beer....

[undrtker66]

To my friend who enjoys a beer.. . And those who don't. As Ben Franklin said:
In wine there is wisdom ,
In beer there is freedom ,
In water there is bacteria.
In a number of carefully controlled trials ,
Scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 litre of water each day ,
At the end of the year we would have absorbed more than
1 kilo of Escherichia coli , (E. Coli) - bacteria found in feces.
In other words , we are consuming 1 kilo of poop.
However , we do NOT run that risk when
Drinking beer & wine (or tequila , rum , whisky or other liquor) ,
Because alcohol has to go through a purification
Process of boiling , filtering and/or fermenting.
Remember:
Water = Poop , Beer = Health .
Therefore, it's better to drink beer and talk stupid ,
Than to drink water and be full of ****.

Mr. Franklin was a wise man.

 

[k47k]

that would mean there is almost 6grams of ecoli in a liter of water.

 

[viking73]

Drink Up!

 

[TxBrew]

Ben Franklin you say?

 

[Edcculus]

Wow, another erroneous Ben Franklin beer quote?

 

[509inc]

I have trouble believing Ben Franklin said that.

The number of quotes falsely attributed to Benjamin Franklin is almost as many as Winston Churchill.

Why do we always assume that when quoting Ben franklin we are quoting one of the framers of the constitution and founders of our country. Franklin is a fairly common surname and there must be thousands with the first name of Ben.

 

[undrtker66]

it does not matter who said it.......just a excuse to drink more beer......

I think Stephen Hawking said it really, but folks misunderstood him and thought he was quoting Ben Franklin.

E. coli was discovered by German paediatrician and bacteriologist Theodor Escherich in 1885.

So, what you're hinting at here is that Ben Franklin had a device that allowed him to travel into the future and back? A sort of "time machine" if you will?

Fascinating!!!

 

[arturo7]

Ben invented electricity, right?

Of course he had a time machine.

 

[bob1852]

No, no no - this sucker's electrical; but I need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 jigawatts. - Ben Franklin

Good point! I wonder if he ever used this "time machine" in any other historically significant ways? I imagine his madcap adventures through time were a sort of cross between Marty McFly and Bill &Ted.

Everyone knows the Key tied to the kite was a time machine.

Well, the only way that he could generate the necessary electrical charge was with a bolt of lightning. Suddenly it all makes a lot of sense.

Because after the yes to, "You're name is Ben Franklin?" no one cares what those guys have to say.

"Water is Poop." Ben Franklin, Daytona Beach, FL, in no way sounds like I'm being given advice, unless that advice is to stay away from Daytona Beach, FL.

It would appear you are correct.

 

[509inc]

I think I found more proof of Ben's time traveling adventures.

So, I understand the lightning and the key, but how did he get up to 88 mph or are we just now beginning to understand his almost god like sprinting ability?

 

[mightynintendo]

William Franklin was a dick.

Train - steam engine, duh.

 

[cheezydemon3]

I didn't take it as Ben said ALL of that.

Ease up.

Cmon, that's from a movie, everyone knows it's not real. Ben Franklin would never drive a Delorean. He had a collection of vintage Porsches.
