Things I learned lately 31 July

• 
  20 million more people visit the Dubai Mall than visit New York City every year.
• The first Toyota model built specifically for the American market was the Corona in 1967. Let the conspiracy theories begin!
• Soap and deodorant sales have slumped during the pandemic.
• Green Eggs and Ham was banned in China from 1965 to 1991 for its "portrayal of early Marxism".
• Things we've sent into space: human remains (including Gene Roddenberry and James Doohan); a Tesla roadster; salmonella virus; tardigrades; soda; pizza; Amelia Earhart's watch.
• In the 16th century, some person wrote GODBWYE in a letter as a short form of God be with ye. It was read as goodbye, which is why we say goodbye today. It's because of 16th century chat speak.
• Créées is a real French word. Three 'e's in a row! Tabernacle! (It means created)
