According to the Weird Wide Web, the &#8220;mermaids had harassed workers installing water pumps at a dam near the small town of Gokwe, in northern Zimbabwe, according to local media reports.&#8221; And similar [...]]]></description>

To me, this sounds like the most off-the-hook, amazing, one-of-a-kind beer dinner since &#8230; well, since the last one Sean Paxton, the Homebrew Chef, did.
