Default Peculiar pint glass predicts death

There is a pub in the Garden District of New Orleans called the Bulldog. It's on the semi-famous Magazine St. They have a special deal every Wednesday night. The special is that every time you buy a pint of beer from a choice of any of their fifty beers on tap, you get to keep the Bulldog pint glass. And, no, despite what you might guess, you get a free pint glass with every order, not just the first one. So you could easily walk out of there with a stack of five pint glasses and on up to however much you like to drink.

Pretty good deal, don't you think? I certainly try to make it every Wednesday, pint glasses are useful glasses for lots of drinks besides just beer.

So they've had this deal for many years now. The way they afford is just to buy a serious amount of pint glasses in bulk.

Going to the Bulldog nowadays, after Katrina happened and the city is still in shambles, there's one pint glass that was made before Katrina but they're stilling giving away that everyone notices something peculiar about.



Makes you think.

yea, not too suprising, I mean it was fairly well known that if that levee ever broke there would be serious problems. I'll bet it was a topic of discussion down there, jokingly, but also half serious like.

It's not surprising at all, you're right. If you ask locals, they'll tell you they learned in grade school that if the levees break Nola would act like a bowl and essentially many people would die.

And yeah, again you're absolutely right. Everyone notices it and at first kinda laughs about it, but then no one speaks another word about it and get on with collecting pint glasses. We didn't go out to feel down.

Has anyone investigated the pint glass further, by tracking it back to its origin to find who made the prediction?

There are much much more detailed and less obvious predictions in the bible, but most people just neglect them.
