Well, fix it then.

To my mind, the "Mythical Creatures" section has way too much natter and could do with a clean-up; I see that someone has already done this with the "gremlins" example. "Bahamut" is a particularly bad case, if I knew the subject matter I'd tackle the job myself; "Bahamut is likely derived from Behemoth" and a few lines later "Bahamut is not derived from Behemoth" — well, which is it?

I just deleted that Bahamut bit entirely, and I'm not sure what it had to do with anything.

I've seen them quite often seen in depictions of stuff supposedly set in medieval times, and tend not to get criticized as an anachronism - It's likely both, with heavy YMMV.

The hot air balloon goes back to the third century in China, in the form of flying lanterns. Larger ones are claimed to have been used for observation in war, but documentation for this is, at best, lacking.

A couple of clarifications: 1) There are two top-level categories of beer: Lagers and Ales. The ONLY distinction between the two is the yeast. Lagers aren't made with bottom fermenting yeast *traditionally*, they are made with bottom fermenting yeast *by definition*. On the other hand, ales (such as IP As) not only aren't required to use bottom fermenting yeast, they are required to NOT use bottom fermenting yeast.

2) While many lagers do tend to be milder in flavor than many ales, this is not a defining trait for either type of beer. There are PLENTY of strongly flavored lagers, just as there are plenty of mild ales. Bocks, be they single, double, or triple, are very strong in flavor, and are very definitely lagers. As for hop content, true Pilsners give IP As a run for their money. For example, Pilsner Urquell (the original Pilsner, and the beer that popularized Lagers as a whole) is quite hoppy, and Victory Prima Pils is as hoppy as anything you'll find.

Also, there really is something to the close relationship between IP As and Pilsners. Both can trace their roots to Pale Ales. In the case of Pilsners, the introduction of bottom fermenting yeast is the main difference (thought the type of hops used plays a definite role). In the case of IP As (which after all does stand for India *Pale Ale*), the addition of a large amount of hops as a preservative was the origin of the variety. That said, it is a stretch to say the variety is a lager in all but name, as the name really does indicate a specific brewing method.
