So like a million years ago, someone decided that the milk our mothers gave us was probably just as good as the milk that other animals give their kids and we determined that cows have the best milk.
Which, I don't disagree with. It's tasty. And it's what we celebrate on World Milk Day.
Another required beverage, especially for one with Alba heritage is uisce bheatha... or aqua vita... water of life.
Or, you might know it as whiskey. The first ever recounting of someone making it was of this monk, John Cor, that on this day in 1495 he's actually on the King's exchequer list.
"To Brother John Cor, by order of the King, to make aqua vitae VIII bolls of malt."
We should be celebrating this man, not that he invented, but the first that we know of that was getting paid for it. Similar to how there's songs for Charlie Mopps, why nothing for John Cor?
Well, those are elixirs worthy of a god. And one god I appreciated seeing on the big screen was when Alanis Morissette played God in Dogma. It was a quirky take on the whole catholic scene (the whole movie was).
Well, Alanis, with one hand in her pocket, is turning 48 years old today.
