Did you know that the tomato is the world's most popular fruit. And yes, just like the brinjal and the pumpkin, botanically speaking it is a fruit, not a vegetable...Tomatoes were first cultivated in 700 AD by Aztecs and Incas. Explorers returning from Mexico introduced the tomato into Europe, where it was first mentioned in 1556. The French called it "the apple of love," the Germans "the apple of paradise."

Did you know that different manufacturing processes have different accuracies? For instance, if something is welded, it will typically be off by as much as 1/4" (regular equipment) or 1/8" (best equipment). Drilling should done after a small dent or whole is placed on the object to cut down on drill wobble. In this way, bolting things together is far more accurate than welding.
Did you know that many states decided to pay incentives to people who purchased solar power for their houses. Typically they offer about 50%, but as soon as it was implemented, the price doubled! Supply meets demand!
