2011: Beginning of daily updates

Many people usually begin their New Year resolution before the beginning of the year. I think 9 days late isn't too bad to "catch-up". Anyway, for the year 2011, I will try to jot down something I've learn each and every day for the whole year. These knowledge will be things I didn't know prior.

January
  1. There is only one factory in the US that make the official NFL football. The Wilson's Football Factory
  2. Amongst all the usage of (sic), I can only remember 1. To quote archaic phrase/word as intended.
  3. In Malaysia, 20% tax rebate only applies to films with 70% of the dialog in Bahasa Malaysia. I wonder if this mindset is due to Chedet's influence.
  4. At an inquest, if a coroner couldn't determine if the victim is murdered or suicide, it meant Open Verdict, giving rise to the joke: He's not murdered. He didn't commit suicide. He just ...died.
  5. Google Android's strategy evolves around advertisement
  6. Apparently there are World tournaments for Rock-Paper-Scissor game
  7. Bashashi is known as sliced horse meat in Japan. Yes, there are people who eat them, even in the US. 
  8. and hippophagy is the act of eating horse flesh.
  9. According to Michael Porter, what is good for the society is good for the business and it's not the other way round. Focus on helping the society and the profit will follow suit instead of profit at the expense of the society.
