Wine Vending Machines!

America leads the world yet again - this time with vending machines that sell wine! In the state of Pennsylvania the sale of alcohol is strictly regulated and until now could only be bought in state-owned outlets. These vending machines are being trialled in supermarkets, but the machine will check your age, then your credit card for payment and then finally, there's the breathalyser! You can't buy the wine if you are drunk! So, here's a little moral dilemma for you - if you've driven to the supermarket to get a bottle of wine and the machine tells you that you are over the limit, would you drive home??

Your Saturday questions are:-
  1. Which oilfield fire fighter died today in 2004?

  2. What nationality was Abebe Bikila (right) who was born today in 1932 and won the Olympic Marathon title twice (1960 & 1964)?

  3. Ivory Coast gained independence from which country today in 1960?
Yesterday's Answers: 1. Sir Freddie Laker; 2. "Charge of the Light Brigade"; 3. Arsenal
