Beer-dispensing kitchen sink

Norwegians plumb in beer-dispensing kitchen sink | The Register: "It's every right-minded Englishman's dream: you've been dispatched to the kitchen on a Sunday afternoon - protesting pathetically against your other half's (absolutely correct and justified) assertion that you're "not going down the bloody pub until you've done the washing-up" - but when you half-heartedly stick a mug under the tap to purge the encrusted mould from the bottom it's not water that issues forth, but beer.

The above delightful scenario is precisely what happened to Haldis Gundersen in her apartment in Kristiansund, west Norway, viz: she arrived at the sink to find the taps dispensing beer.

The cause of the Kristiansund Beer Miracle was soon pinpointed when, downstairs at the Big Tower Bar, the pumps started to offer nothing more than water. An investigation showed that Gundersen's water supply and the bar's vital beer conduit had been accidently cross-connected."
