Things I learned lately 7 Sep

• Stewart Resnick, the biggest farmer in the US, owns 180,000 acres in California's San Joaquin valley. His 15 million fruit and nut trees use 400,000 acre-feet of water every year. As a reference, Los Angeles uses 587,000 acre-feet of water.
• You no longer need to pay a license fee to use the Happy Birthday song. The company that claimed rights (Warner/Chappell) does not in fact have the rights that it originally claimed. If you paid a fee, you are entitled to get it back as well.
• The Iraqi Army was the 4th largest until the US laid it to waste in 100 hours during the Gulf War.
• In 1963, Albert Heineken created two different sized beer bottles called WOBO (World bottle) that could function as bricks to build sustainable housing.
• Type O blood was meant to be Type Zero blood, due to the absence of glycoproteins in the red blood cells. It was misread and is now called Type "O". So, you could call it a typo..........
