To everyone who thought you couldn't have a less healthy diet than that of The McRunner, meet the Iowa man who says he's going to consume nothing but beer and water for the entirety of Lent.

Yep, while some Catholics are giving up alcohol for the 6-week period leading up to Easter, this guy has gone the opposite route — and he's not even Catholic.

Somehow I don't think I would have gotten that one past mrs. flatsixes.

Correction... Guinness is liquid bread, half baked and requires a spoon. Most other beers are just liquefied grain.

We don't have that anymore here in Europe. EU commission erased lent from the calendar so that we don't offend muslims.
