A few Ayrton Senna facts: Senna's fatal accident and Nikki Lauda's crash which left him severely burned saw both racers leading a safety meeting for drivers the day before. Bruno Senna, who participated in F1 and Formula E, is not Senna's son, as some accidentally believe, Ayrton was Bruno's uncle on his mother's side. Ayrton Senna was the last driver to die in a Formula 1 related incident until Jules Bianchi, who crashed in the 2014 season, 20 years later.

The world's top consumers of tea per capita as of 2014 (as in relative to their size) are Turkey, Morocco, The UK and Ireland. Interestingly China, which is where tea is first recorded as being made, is only #7. Australia is a larger consumer of tea than America, likely due to British cultural influence and large Irish immigration, but New Zealand is interestingly higher. On production by stat from 1993-2013; China is the largest unsurprisingly, but India despite being #43 on consumption is second in production. You might think with their positioning on the silk road at the key junction between asia and the middle-east that they'd have picked up actually drinking the stuff more but they appear to have maintained a more commerical relationship. And low-consumption countries like Kenya at #58 and Indonesia at #72 are in the top ten producers. #1 consumer Turkey is also in the top ten producers at #5. (I like tea okay guys. Like, a lot) Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tea_consumption_per_capita http://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-worlds-top-10-tea-producing-nations.html
While the world's top consumer of coffee is my home country. And we don't produce it at all... We're completely at the mercy of coffee producers like Brazil.
We only produce tea in "small quantites". Luckily we're right near Indonesia, and not too far from China and India either. So we can ship plenty of produce from those
The Pentagon has twice the necessary number of restrooms for a building its size. When it was constructed, it had "Whites Only" and "Colored" restrooms, in compliance with Virginia law, but President Roosevelt ordered the "Whites Only" signs removed. Until 1965 it was in violation of state segregation laws.
