Things I learned lately 9 Feb


  • The Berlin wall has been gone for as long (and longer by the day) as it stood.
  • Disney employees never point with one finger, as it's rude in some cultures. As a side note, while I was in the military, we were taught to indicate (point) with all 4 fingers, basically like the 'salute hand'.
  • New York state will be installing 2.4 gigawatts of wind power by 2030. A $6 billion off shore wind farm is being built south of Long Island.
  • Spam is an enduring staple of Hawaiian cuisine. Filipino-Americans and Korean-Americans are into it as well.
  • Twinkies used to be filled with banana cream pre-WWII.
