A rare Martian meteorite seen through a microscope forms a collage of vivid colors and jagged shapes that is out of this world.

But whatever you magnify -- beer, gems, even gunpowder -- most objects just end up looking like the psychedelic swirls in a funky tie-dyed T-shirt.

Hard to believe. Even Budweiper "beer" looks pretty nice under the microscope.

Look what some enterprising computer chip engineer stuck into your circuitry at a microscopic level:

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Looks like a million Clydesdales, rear view.

It appears that the most powerful microscopic view of dog poop revealed this:

[R. Scott]

Looks pretty good with the Mark I Eyeball too.

[ArrogantBustard]

It fails miseably when it comes in contact with the Mark I Tastebud, though ...

You're supposed to look at it? And to think I've been drinking it all these years!

I will need one by the time I leave work -- around 6:30, maybe later. :(

AAAAAaaaaaarrrrrgggghhh! My eyes!!

THAT'S not beer.

THIS is beer:

And even this:

No offense, but what you posted (shudder) is good only for slug extermination...

 

After the Great Britain Beer Festival, in London, all the brewery presidents decided to go out for a beer. The guy from Corona sits down and says, "Hey Señor, I would like the world's best beer, a Corona."

The bartender dusts off a bottle from the shelf and gives it to him. The guy from Budweiser says, "I'd like the best beer in the world, give me 'The King Of Beers', a Budweiser."

The bartender gives him one. The guy from Coors says, "I'd like the only beer made with Rocky Mountain spring water, give me a Coors."

He gets it. The guy from Guinness sits down and says, "Give me a Coke."

The bartender is a little taken aback, but gives him what he ordered. The other brewery presidents look over at him and ask, "Why aren't you drinking a Guinness?"

The Guinness president replies, "Well, if you guys aren't drinking beer, neither will I."

Yikes! Give dog excrement a break! At least you can wash your hands after handling that and be rid of it -- try washing your mind (and eyes) after listening and looking at that!

[wayne_shrugged]

Guiness Stout -- didn't know it LOOKED so good under microscope -- certainly it's the best tasting!

[Overtaxed]

Cool, anyone up for Happy Hour?
