Greatest Discoveries of Mankind

In 1543 Poland's Nicolas Copernicus discovered that the earth moved around the sun, which was the centre of the solar system

In 1822, geologist William Buckland uncovers the first dinosaur remains

In 1858 Charles Darwin publishes On the Origin of Species

In 1919 Albert Einstein unveiled his theory of general relativity in which he proposes that mass warps both time and space, therefore large masses can bend light.

On 6th August Trevor Hickman discovers that Banks's Mild can be purchased 10,000 miles away from where it is brewed (Wolverhampton, England) - in Canberra, Australia.

The last one was definitely cause for much celebration!! - what's more they were a snip at just $4 a can - thank you Plonk Beer shop in Fyshwick!

Either Mild or Bitter is better than lager. Perhaps the one is a product of the other. Don't drink too much of it though, and take care.
