Lost And Found

09 Oct 2010 08:40 pm

David Crossland reports that an unprecendented 7 million liters of beer were consumed at this year's Oktoberfest, which might explain this:

One hearing aid was ... found, as were a leather whip, a live rabbit, a tuba, a ship in a bottle, 1,450 items of clothing, 770 identity cards, 420 wallets, 366 keys, 330 bags and 320 pairs of glasses, 90 cameras and 90 items of jewellery and watches.

A total of 37 children were also lost.


:rofl:

I have to get to Germany in October!

1. Particularly like this photo, and the caption ;-)
This was the first Oktoberfest to have a smoking ban following a decision by the state of Bavaria this year to outlaw smoking in pubs and restaurants this year. But there were no reports so far of any increase in unpleasant smells from spilled beer, greasy food, toilets and sweating Lederhosen-clad revellers that have in previous years been masked by clouds of smoke.

6. 7 million liters of beer, equals a lot of urine.
