Being a drunken old fart, I can't imagine Descartes turning down an ale...

.. .uh, yes... playing on 'de carte before de horse...'

... as for Steven's link:
And Rene Descartes was a drunken old fart:
"I drink, therefore I am",
René Descartes (1596-1650)
I am not sure about Descartes drinking habits, but he was one true
philosopher and mathematician... so we honor him... with jokes !
:)
(how many of you guys are they going to be joking about 450 years from
