FURTHER PROOF THAT BEER IS BRAIN FOOD:

Man drives pickup onto friend's roof as a stunt (JACK HOPKINS, 5/27/00, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER)

As Dave Anthony's pickup truck sank slowly through the roof of a one-story house yesterday morning, he popped a Spin Doctors CD into a player and reached for a can of Budweiser.

"It wouldn't be a good life without a challenge," he said. "If you don't break something, you aren't trying very hard."

Just how Anthony's truck got on top of the house was a tale that had police and firefighters shaking their heads in disbelief.

It began with a few beers and an offer to help tear down a friend's old house.
