Things I learned lately 25 Nov

• Ontario has 49% of all the Tim Hortons locations in Canada.
• In Venezuelan culture it's rude to leave a host’s home on your own as an invited guest. The polite thing to do is to wait for your host to open the door and guide you out.
• Remember the Domino's Pizza ‘avoid the noid’ commercial? They stopped using the noid because of Kenneth Lamar Noid. He was a mentally unstable person who believed that the CEO of Domino’s was stalking him and making commercials to tease him. He held two restaurant employees hostage in Georgia and had to be put in an institution, where he committed suicide. That’s bad PR, so the pizza brand killed the noid. Literally.
• On 1 Sep 1939, the day that the Nazis invaded Poland, the British government told the BBC to stop broadcasting. They would not be allowed to resume until 7 Jun 1946.
• Diesel is not a scientific term, it is taken from Rudolf Diesel, a German engineer who invented the new type of ICE.
