Prometheus
Prometheus gave the mortals all sorts of gifts: brickwork, woodworking, telling the seasons by the stars, numbers, the alphabet (for remembering things), yoked oxen, carriages, saddles, ships and sails. He also gave other gifts: healing drugs, seercraft, signs in the sky, the mining of precious metals, animal sacrifice and all art.

Prometheus
(film) - released June 2012 - a science fiction/horror film by Sir Ridley Scott, and written by Jon Spaihts & Damon Lindelof. It stars Noomi Rapace (The Girl with Dragon Tattoo), Michael Fassbender (Magneto from X-Men First Class), Guy Pearce, Idris Elba (Thor film), Logan Marshall-Green and Charlize Theron (uber hottie actress). Set in the late 21st century, the story centers on the crew of the spaceship Prometheus as they follow a star map discovered among the remnants of several ancient Earth civilizations. Led to a distant world and an advanced civilization, the crew seeks the origins of humanity, but instead discovers a threat that could cause the extinction of the human race.
The film is related to Ridley Scott's "Alien" movies, and is set in the same fictional universe, however, there are many changes and differences.
The name of the film, Prometheus, is also the name of the Earthling's space-ship, sponsored by the Weyland Corporation (precursor to the Weyland-Yutani Corp of the Alien films).

"Prometheus, are you seeing this?" says Elizabeth Shaw (played by Noomi Rapace) as she radios the Prometheus spaceship to ensure they are witnessing what she is seeing through her spacesuit, which is an absolutely huge bust of a humanoid head, which looks strangely human, and is surrounded by many containers filled with some deadly outer-space crap that the crew should have left the hell alone!

Utility beer
Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
