            Costa Rica has now powered the entire country for more than 75 days using only renewable energy. The country hasn’t needed fossil fuel for all of 2015 thanks to hydropower and a heavy rainy season.

The nation of 5 million inhabitants also gets renewable energy contributions from a mix of solar, geothermal and wind power.

        It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a
   month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law
   with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer, and because
   their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the "honey month"
   or what we know today as the "honeymoon." Who Knew! ???

       In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts. So in old
   England, when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them to
   mind their own pints and quarts and settle down. It's where we Get the
   phrase "mind your P's and Q's."

            Many years ago in England, pub frequenters had a whistle baked into
   the rim or handle of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill, they
   used the whistle to get some service. "Wet your whistle," is the phrase
   inspired by this practice.

During a trip to Asia in the early 1800s, a German merchant – it is said – noticed that the nomadic Tartars softened their meat by keeping it under their saddles. The motion of the horse pounded the meat to bits. The Tartars would then scrape it together and season it for eating. The idea of pounded beef found its way back to the merchant’s home town of Hamburg where cooks broiled the meat and referred to it as it as Hamburg meat.
