[sdiy] Rapid Electronics Oktoberfest

[Florian Anwander]

ok guys. Hold it!

As Munich born and living guy I have to insist in the strongest possible 
way:

1st) wrong LED colours. The Oktoberfest has nothing to do with germany 
(flag colours: black red golden), but is definitely related to the 
colours of the bavarian flag: white and blue (see picture at 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bavaria)

2nd) wrong month: though it is called Oktoberfest it never happens in 
october, but always in the last two weeks of september; only 
occasionally the last weekend may be in october (as this year)

3rd) this Masskrug (beer glass containing one litre), is definitely 
filled with Hefeweizen (a unclear beer, brewed with wheat; it is usually 
not drunken from a Masskrug, but from a special glass containg a half 
litre:

Wheatbear is not available at the Octoberfest. At the Oktoberfest we 
drink only Maerzen (clear beer, brewed from barley; the name Maerzen is 
derived from the month Maerz, which is german for March:

So guys from rapidonline: this looks like you should do your homework. 
Or better: come over next year and have party with us... ;-)
