I want an apartment there. (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11811147/)
OSLO, Norway - A woman thought she was in heaven when beer instead of water flowed from the faucets in her apartment in west Norway.

“I turned on the tap to clean some knives and forks and beer came out,” Haldis Gundersen told Reuters from her home in Kristiansund, in west Norway. “We thought we were in heaven.”

Beer in Norway is among the most expensive in the world with a 0.7 pint costing about $7.48 in a bar.

Gundersen said she tried the beer but that it tasted a bit odd and was flat.

It turned out that a worker in a bar two floors below had mixed up the pipes on Saturday evening, wrongly connecting a new barrel to a water pipe leading to Gundersen’s apartment. The bar got water in its beer taps.
Which is what seems to happen in an awful lot of US bars.:D

Beer's not supposed to be coming out of yoru faucets? :confused:

Reminds me of the commercial on television where "it's raining beer."

"It's raining beer! It's raining beer!"
"Maybe your beer should taste better."


...from some commercial heard in the background.

Reminds me of the commercial on television where "it's raining beer."
The thing that kills me about that commercial is that it's for Miller Lite, as though that beer doesn't have as weak a taste as any US beer out there. About the only thing I've ever drunk that has less flavor than Miller Lite is Coors Lite, which is a waste of good water.

Eddie: That sounded like an explosion at the old Simpson place.
Wiggum: Forget it. That's two blocks away.
Eddie: Looks like there's beer coming out of the chimney!
Wiggum: (gets out of cruiser) I am proceeding on foot. Call in a Code 8.
Eddie: (into Radio) We need pretzels. Repeat, pretzels!

Faucets? They're taps goddamnit!
