America was discovered in 986 by Bjarni Herjolfsson who didn't bother to land (he was on his way to Greenland and could tell that the land he saw was not Greenland).

I don't know if it has ever been proven that the Chinese ever reached America, but there seems to be evidence for some Polynesians reaching the western coast of South America.

Here in Canada 15 beers will do it. 10 if it’s Creemore Pilsner.

“suggests that a chemical compound in beer can help the human body fight the virus behind the common cold.”

No it doesn’t. Believe me. I would know.

“an adult would have to drink about 30 cans of beer to get enough humulone, the compound said to have anti-viral properties.”

That seems fair. :-)

How much would it take to cure Helen Thomas level ugliness?

Even beer has its limits.
