Some interesting info on Ötzi the Iceman...

Age and Appearance: He was roughly 45 years old when he died, stood about 5 feet 5 inches (160 cm) tall, and weighed around 110-140 pounds. He had dark hair, brown eyes, and suffered from various ailments including joint pain, tooth decay, and intestinal parasites.

Tattoos: His skin is marked with 61 distinct tattoos (mostly lines and crosses) across his body, which experts believe may have served a therapeutic purpose similar to early acupuncture.

The Last Meal: Stomach analysis shows he had a rich, heavy meal consisting of ibex meat, red deer meat, fat, and einkorn wheat roughly an hour before he died.

However, I think I'll put off the sourdough and wait until I can try a beer made from Ötzi yeast.

My prediction is that he will respond with something that ignores the fact that I'm responding to the statement that he's never said this in the past and go to the "He's a racist" part.
