BECAUSE GOD LOVES US, AND WANTS US TO BE HAPPY? Mystery: Why do women have prominent breasts, even when not lactating?
Okay, actually that was Ben Franklin’s explanation for beer.
UPDATE: Various readers say that Franklin was talking about wine, not beer, though you often see him quoted thusly on beer t-shirts. Clayton Cramer sends this link to Franklin saying this: “We hear of the conversion of water into wine at the marriage in Cana, as of a miracle. But this conversion is, through the goodness of God, made every day before our eyes. Behold the rain, which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, and which incorporates itself with the grapes to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy.”
