The RP’s Italian Journey: Beer and Pisa

At some point, I will give our loyal readers a full and mostly serious account of my amazing journey through Italy this past week.

But first, let me share my most two overwhelming impressions, of beer and Pisa.

First, beer. See the picture above. There really is Duff beer. It’s not just for Homer anymore. (And wasn’t the original Homer Greek, not Roman?)

Second, Pisa. It was absolutely amazing to see the Tower of Pisa (which is a lot smaller in person than you imagine, just as Michaelangelo’s David is a lot bigger). What an incredible thrill it was to stand in the same place where Galileo and Rick Perry dropped the pizza to disprove the scientific community’s misplaced faith in global warming and a round earth! Quite humbling.

But just like climate change and rough earth theory, the so-called “Leaning” Tower of Pisa is just yet another conspiracy. Check out the picture below. The Tower and I are perfectly straight, while the rest of Pisa leans to the right.

Another tragic myth perpetuated by the mainstream media, debunked exclusively here for the RP Nation.
