Okay, who has the BEER PING LIST?.............
I always enjoy a beer when the wife is doing the vacuuming.
“As liquid exits a can, it leaves behind a vacuuma totally empty space in which you won’t find anything, not even air molecules.”
I’m not sure that’s quite right. As the liquid exits the can, the air in the can must expand to fill the extra space, and the pressure in the can is reduced to something lower than atmospheric pressure....and this creates the effect. Its a partial vacuum.
The total vacuum the reporter describes would suck your lips right off.
Ah, the science behind shotgunning a beer
Does anyone remember pouring liquid from a tin can or even the old oil cans? You would punch a hole or holes in the can and 180 degrees from that point you would punch an air inlet hole.

Mine's locked up in the closet and I only get it out about twice a year......
Let me guess, it makes him giggly and he starts hitting on ugly girls....but they get better looking as the night goes on.
Turn ‘Das Boot’ when you see the air bubble.
Somehow I don’t think this makes much difference when drinking Keystone Light.
“Atmospheric pressure is quite strong,”
I realized this once when I was working in a lab that had a vacuum chamber. The operator had started it going, and the “roughing pump” was pumping away. He stated “I left a port plate off, so I’ll have to shut it down and put the plate on.
The absence of the plate left a three inch diamater hole. I put the palm of my hand over the hole, which sealed it and the pressure inside started to drop. In about five seconds my hand became more and more tightly sucked agains the hole. I very quickly calculated what fifteen pounds per square inch would do to my hand, and peeled it off in a hurry.
I’m not worried about beer pouring. That’s for panty-waists. A real man simply chugs it down.
What I want to know is why all the coffee pots dribble coffee all over the place when you pour out a cup. That little lip they have doesn’t give a clean pour a lot of the time.
Here's a liitle more about professor Luo:
1. Graduated from HS at the top of his class in China
2. Graduated from the U. of Buffalo at the top of his class, majoring in physics.
3. Never attended a frat party.
4. Never got invited to a frat party.
5. The first and last time he ever drank beer, he got so drunk he ended up sleeping with a butt ugly gal he met in a bar and contracted gonorrhea....
6. Professor Luo blames the gonorrhea as an allergic reaction to beer..........
Hong Luo - a man...(doffs hat respectfully)...a man who does not drink and yet dedicates his life to the perfect beer. A saint, surely.
Oh, and sorry for calling you “Shirley”...
