"TIL Italy, France, and Brazil are not even in the top ten highest consumers of coffee. The Nordic countries dominate coffee consumption and are all within the top ten countries worldwide. Further, Finland (the highest consumer in the world) more than doubles the annual consumption of Italy."
"TIL the lyrics at the end of 'Sweet Child of Mine' were literal. Axel Rose and his music producer were discussing what to do with the end of the song and Rose started saying to himself "Where do we go? Where do we go now?" The producer suggested singing that and that's how it made it in the song."
"TIL that the actor who played Charlie Bucket in the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory never acted again, and grew up to be a veterinarian."

#17 - nah, I don’t believe it. It’s far more complicated than that. My wife and I have very different interests and we love each other very much after 20 years.

Ebenezer, it's not about having *the same* interests, but being able to acknowledge and encourage the other persons interests even though you're not particularly interested in the subject yourself. I do agree that it is good to have some differences and do things without your partner as well.

#8 reverse osmosis systems were originally developed for military submarines so adding them to other military vessels shouldn't be a big surprise. saves a lot of weight, space and fuel if you don't have to lug around all the water you need for 1500 people.
