Things I learned lately 24 May

• Gary Wright (Dream Weaver) performed on all of George Harrison's 1970s solo albums. He also played piano in Harry Nilsson's 'Without You'.
• Globally, only 10-15% of plastic currently gets recycled.
• Amazon is gamifying the warehouse work-space to encourage productivity through friendly competition.
• In some localities in China, if you call someone who owes money, instead of a traditional ringing noise you get a special recorded voice telling you that you're calling someone who owes money, and asks you to "please urge the person" to pay back their debts.
• The green ink used to print U.S. currency was invented by a Canadian chemist, Thomas Sterry Hunt, in 1857.
• The price for a litre of gas in Paris is the equivalent of CAD$2.40
• Q. Why did the chicken cross the road? A. Because it didn't live in Georgia. (It's illegal for chickens to cross the road in Georgia)
• Mellower Coffee, in Singapore, has a unique coffee offering. The Sweet Little Rain (pictured) is a huge cup of Americano coffee with a ball of cotton candy suspended over the top of the cup like a cloud. The steam from the hot coffee melts the sugar cloud which then rains down on the drink. Be prepared to get a little messy because the sugar droplets also land directly on the cup and the saucer.
