Capt'n Midnight · 03-07-2005 09:55PM

Indeed

It has 20% of the worlds fresh water !

Fastest Pint Of Stout
Multiple record-holder Peter Dowdeswell drank a pint of Guinness stout in just 2.1 seconds at the Millwall Football Club, London, UK, on April 24, 2001. Dowdeswell holds numerous records for gluttony – including fastest three-course meal (45 seconds!) and most hot dogs, including buns, eaten in three minutes (4 complete dogs). He began breaking records after he vowed to smash every beer-drinking record listed in the 1975 Guinness Book of Records!

if he does it in 2.1 seconds i'd say 2.3 seconds for a litre

RuggieBear · 04-07-2005 09:29AM

nope according to Playboy magazine (i get it for the articles

) the correct answer is Steven Petrosino at 1.3 seconds for a litre of beer.

EDIT: Tis no fun if you google all the answers btw.....

RuggieBear · 02-09-2005 11:24AM

Was it Sargent Peppers?

Capt'n Midnight · 02-09-2005 07:45PM

Toto Four was the second biggest selling album in the year Thriller was released.

Bat out of Hell / Dark side of the Moon - probably not the biggest sellers but were in the charts for ages.
