ALL The TEA In CHINA!
Most of us have heard the phrase "all the tea in China", as in " I wouldn't give up xxxx for all the tea in China".

But how much tea is there really in the whole of China???

It turns out that a few years ago the UN actually released figures stating that all the tea in China, amassed to a whopping 800,345 metric tons!

Many people think that Hollywood is situated in California because of all of the glorious sunshine associated with the area, but the real reason behind the placement of Hollywood is a little more sly than most would think.

While it is true that it takes a lot of light to produce good films, especially in the early days of the industry, it actually had much more to do with patent infringement.

Thomas Edison, the noted inventor, still held a patent on film cameras, and the movie makers who were infringing on those rights weren't too keen on handing over their cash either, so to get as far away from Edison's lawyers as possible, they moved as far away as possible, while still remaining in the United States.

The back-up plan, should the lawyers also follow them westwards, was to then move on down south into nearby and accommodating Mexico.

Rule of thumb? You can't do much harm with that. They should have called it "Rule of Wrist" instead.
