    Wink 'Beer Goggles' explained at last!

    Another step to explaining the meaning of life.

    Scientists believe they have worked out a formula to calculate how "beer goggles" affect a drinker's vision.

    The drink-fuelled phenomenon is said to transform supposedly "ugly" people into beauties - until the morning after.

    As the old saying goes....."I've never been to bed with an ugly woman, but I've woken up to a few"; at last the answer is revealed.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."

    What's most depressing is that the University of Reading has announced the closure of its Physics department whilst studies like this get the lion's share of research funding.

    If the benefits are not obvious, then I'm not sure what could possibly be said.
