Nice to know that some of them still don't mess around!

 

He could have been wanting to meet all those virgins that the dummy didn't realize would be virgin goats and not beautiful girls :lol:

Poor choice of target is what it is.

You mean the alternative facts, or, the real facts?

Doesn't matter the results are the same, what kind of dummy tries to cause problems at an armed gate on a military base, what did he expect would happen? Or was that his hope, police see this also.

My guess and that's all it is: Guy carjacks a lady at the gas pump (that much is true) and then begins eluding police. Assuming that he is not from here and unfamiliar with the streets, he speeds off the highway taking what he didn't realize was a flyover that dead ends at the base. We probably will never know.

Your theory makes complete sense to me.  The only thing I might add is the possibility that he was trying to establish an insanity defense by stealing a grey Ford Edge; my wife has one.  You must be crazy to steal one of those.

COBLESKILL, N.Y. (AP) - Ahoy, beer lovers: A bottle from a 133-year-old shipwreck may yield yeast for a new brew in upstate New York.

Biotechnology students at the State University of New York at Cobleskill uncorked a bottle from the shipwrecked SS Oregon on Thursday. Serious Brewing Company of Howes Cave plans to develop a new brew if the students successfully extract yeast.

 

Bill Felter, of Serious Brewing, acquired the beer from a customer who owns an assortment of artifacts recovered from the Oregon.

The ship was en route from Liverpool, England, to New York City with 852 people aboard on March 14, 1886, when it collided with a schooner near Fire Island, New York, and sank. All but one person survived.

Wouldn't the yeast be dead ? Or can they restart it just from the beer?

Yeast can be dormant for a long time. Fermentable sugars and the right temperature can bring them back. Not sure they can go that long, though.

Last year, an Australian brewer produced beer from yeast recovered from a 220-year-old shipwreck.
