7 things I did not know last week

  1. Tel Aviv is only 100 years old.
  2. If you search Google for 'c' you get the speed of light as a result.
  3. There used to be a United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarve (between 1815 and 1822).
  4. Pavlova (the dessert) was created in honour of Pavlova (the dancer) in New Zealand.
  5. If you add the text string 'eom' (End Of Message) at the end of a subject line in Gmail you can send a one-liner message without being prompted that there is no body text. It works if 'eom' is followed by nothing or a non-alphanumeric character.
  6. The band Metro Station is fronted by Miley Cirus' older brother Trace.
  7. 'There are now more money transfer premises in the UK than there are McDonald's and KFC outlets put together.'
