I just calculated that consuming seven of those mathematical cocktails, will conform to a Fibonacci sequence. Unfortunately you may not be able to spell cat. My wife has a similar long held theory regarding the detrimental properties of non-alcoholic adulterating agents. She further opines that no alcoholic drink that is clear can possibly hurt you. Thanks for the info on the second shot. A most interesting glimpse and another example of LUG diversity.

The camera was probably vibrating anyway. :-) The cocktail is built on the squares of the first three prime numbers and the assumption that non-alcoholic adulterating agents like sweetened fruit juice and soft drinks just make you sick! The second picture is of the household blessing that accompanies a family's saint's day in the Orthodox Church. Petka is one of the saints (from what is now Turkey).
