Last semester I got to do a presentation on the Australian wine company (BRL, now owned by Constellation Wines) that invented the Wine-In-A-Box. Yes, I did call it "Mommy's Juice Box" in front of the class. I worked in a reference to Mad Dog in that one too.
Moments ago I finished an Economics presentation and paper on the Scotch whisky industry in the UK, with a focus on Diageo - owners of Guinness (it's no longer Irish!!) and producers of such greats as Lagavulin, Oban and Knockando.
I'm going to go have me some scotch and a smoke.
PS - Those Scots are smart - there are actually laws in the UK ...and the EU that state that Scotch whisky can only be made in Scotland. Genius. (Of course, that vodka lobby has a ways to go to catch up.)
PSS - Today's featured article on Wikipedia is on Slayer. That there is some intellectual content.

I gave a presentation in a nursing class for cultural awareness and worked in my sai weapons from karate. Sweet. My classmates were a little frightened. In karate once before my brown belt test, I had to do a self defense demo in front of the class where I had to demostrate and teach unique self defense situations. I used a "Hey baby" type scenario as if some frat boy puts his arm around you in a bar and won't remove it. I developed an easy, successful way to remove it. Some smart ass in the audience didn't believe me, so the black belts offered him up as the attacker. I hurt him good. Snicker, snicker. I love presentations some times!!!
