    Busch Beer was created to spite Major League Baseball. STL Cardinals owner August Busch Jr was told by MLB he couldn't name their ballpark Budweiser Stadium. He got approval to name it after his family, and then ordered his brewers to create the new beer.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                  @jon-nyc Is the video sped up? The writing says "30 seconds" but the video is only 15 seconds.

                  Even so, still impressive!!!!!

                                      The average temperature of Venus's atmosphere at the surface is around 462 degrees Celsius (864 degrees Fahrenheit), making it the hottest planet in our solar system due to a strong greenhouse effect caused by its thick carbon dioxide atmosphere; this temperature remains relatively consistent day and night.
