A Recipe for you beer aficionados
COCK ALE
"Take 10 gallons of ale and a large cock, the older the better; parboil the cock, flay him, and stamp him in a stone mortar until his bones are broken (you must gut him when you flay him).
Then, put the cock into two quarts of sack, and put to it five pounds of raisins of the sun – stoned; some blades of mace, and a few cloves.
Put all these into a canvas bag, and a little before you find the ale has been working, put the bag and ale together in vessel."
- from Charlie Papazian's "The Complete Joy of Homebrewing," and originally from "The Closet of the Eminently Learned Sir Kenelme Digby Kt. Opened," 1677.

On this date, THIS happened
On November 13, Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence; that request came from his wife. Deep down, he knew she was right, but he also knew that some day he would return to her. With nowhere else to go, he appeared at the home of his friend, Oscar Madison. Several years earlier, Madison's wife had thrown HIM out, requesting that HE never return. Can two divorced men share an apartment without driving each other crazy?
