Tsingtao? you're kidding!
Tsingtao is a very nice Chinese beer. Brewed in the southeast of the
country, started originally by German settlers. Very cheap too, if you buy
it in the local shops. The going price when I was there last year went as
low as AU$1.00 (approx US$0.75) for a large bottle. But you have to know
where to buy it. Don't buy it in the karioke bars that are springing up in
every hotel - they will rip you off (you can pay up to AU$4.00 there!!!!!

Hmmm, a dinosaur named after a beer, . . . cool.

Umm, wait a minute, that leaves the door open for:

Budweisersaurus rex !!!!

On second thought . . .

Many say it was a mistake to come down from the trees, some say
the move out of the oceans was a bad idea. Me, I say the stiffening
of the notochord in the Cambrian was where it all went wrong,
it was all downhill from there.
