I have to give them credit, they actually consulted a real expert whilst they were drunk. Most people don't, not even sober

To be fair, "do hummingbirds have feet" seems eminently wikipediable. I'd like to think that if I ever felt the need to drunk-dial an expert, it'd be for something less trivial.

Telephones existed for a century before wikkipedia...

In the before times: The guinness book of records started as a promo by the guinness brewery given to pub owners to settle bar argumnets like this one.

TIL: Guinness Book of World Records origin story is the same as a D&D campaign: started in a tavern.

All great things start in a bar. Or coffee shop. Or in the shower. Or in a dream. But never in a meeting.

isnt a a bar evening just an optional meeting with no agenda and alcohol?

I mean... You could try a tea shop! Usually have good pastries too
