The BBC reports:

A long-term ceasefire has been agreed between Israel and Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip.

The truce, ending seven weeks of fighting that has left more than 2,200 people - mostly Palestinians - dead, was brokered by Egypt and began at 19:00 local time (16:00 GMT).

Hamas said the deal represented a "victory for the resistance".

Israel is to ease its blockade of Gaza to allow in aid and building materials, Israeli officials said.

    This ought to be the real story. We've seen "truces" hundreds of times before, but this man has talking beer! And not only that it's politically prescient talking beer!

    Talking beer? Excessive alcohol can lead to many subjective experiences.
