There was the Brau Ordnung in 16th century Bavaria where you weren't allowed to make beer between the 23rd of April and 29th of September — no brewing allowed because breweries caught fire very easily because they were all made of wood and there were lots of coal fires to heat them up.

Other times Bavaria came up

  1. I thought they used emu. That's interesting. I wonder if they've swapped. Or maybe they do emu in Australia, but they certainly in 2004. No, they don't. They've actually got, they've got an emu farm in Bavaria, which is where they get their emu feathers from. Maybe that's all. Wow. Maybe they've gone to ostrich. Ostrich and emu are pretty similar, aren't they? Sorry to be reductive about it.

  2. There is a secret society to this day, which they're called the Google Mena. They're quite mysterious. They wear hoods and black robes. and they keep petitioning the Prime Minister of Bavaria to have a big bust of him carved into a mountainside. The doctor who was found dead alongside him apparently had been assaulted. There is a suggestion, and I don't want to get into any more scurrilous suggestions like you, Andy, but I'm just going to put this out there.

  3. I read one account, which said his doctor also was found dead floating in the lake, and that, to me, is sus, because water was shallow, he was a pretty decent swimmer. He was a surfer, we know that much. And there is a secret society to this day, which once, they're called the Google Manner, and they're quite mysterious.

  4. Oh, yeah. This is... Bavaria used to be absolutely huge. It was invented in about the 1870s, and it was again like condensing all the good stuff and the invention of stock and things like that. In fact, the Pope appeared in a Bavaria advert at the time. Pope Lee had a TV ad. It's not unethical, but... TV ad in 1870s. advert at the time.
