In 15th century Scotland, selling in pure or weakened beer and wine was a crime punishable by death! Gulp! Eccentric King Ludwig II of Bavaria (1845-1886) dined alone at a table that elevated through the floor to a dining room so that he wasn't disturbed by servants. Ibrahim Hamato of Egypt is a successful table tennis player despite losing his arms and a childhood accident.

To use bad English is regrettable..To use bad Scotch is unforgivable.

King Ludwig II was also responsible for building romantic castles like Castle Neuschwanstein. He paid for the construction from his personal funds causing him to get in serious debt.If you look at other pictures of Neuschwanstein it might look vaguely familiar. That is probably because Disney studied Neuschwanstein and used it as inspiration for the castle of Sleeping Beauty.

Watered down should not be a crime if it is labelled as such and priced accordingly.
