> I was just listening to Kojo Nnamdi on the radio and he stated that the entire Encyclopedia Britannica was banned in Texas because it contained a recipe for beer. Snopes was no help, and when I googled, I found a site where people claimed it was a crock, but no definitive cites.

He was saying it was banned by a single school, right? I don’t find that out of the question (although it would really surprise me if there were a workable beer recipe).
