A domino can knock over another domino about 1.5x larger than itself. A chain of dominos of increasing size makes a kind of mechanical chain reaction that starts with a tiny push and knocks down an impressively larger dominos. A tiny domino that can hardly be seen can ultimately knock over a domino larger than the sun, if one could build dominos that large and stack them in order properly. The first domino may only be an a subatomic particle inside of an atom, which then bumps into an atom, which bumps into a molecule, which bumps into a small Nano sized dust mote, which then bumps into; you get the picture.

Long before Henry Ford started making use of it and even long before the Industrial Revolution, the Venetians were already using moving assembly lines—as early as 1104! The Venetian Arsenal became the largest industrial complex in Europe, spanning an area of about 45 ha, or about fifteen percent of Venice. The Arsenal made it possible to construct and maintain all the state's navy and large merchant ships in one place. They developed methods of mass-producing warships in the Arsenal, including the frame-first system. This new system was much more time efficient and required less wood. At the peak of its efficiency in the early sixteenth century, the Arsenal employed approximately 16,000 people. These people were able to produce almost one ship per day—fitting it out, arming it and provisioning a newly built galley with standardized parts on a production-line basis never to be seen again until the Industrial Revolution. In the rest of Europe the production of a similar sized vessel ...

Kurt Gödel was a European mathematician who was born in Austria-Hungary, an area which is now known as the Czech Republic. He is known for his many scientific and philosophic works, as well as elaborating on Einstein’s theory of general relativity. As he grew old, he began to have periods of time in which he would be mentally unstable and become very sick. He developed an obsessive fear of being poisoned, so he would only eat food that his wife Adele made! Unfortunately for Gödel, in 1977 Adele was hospitalized for a six month period. Naturally, Gödel refused to eat and eventually starved to death. He died weighing 65 pounds. Learn more about this man by clicking the source

There's a scene in the movie where the two actors' characters are drunk and hitting golf balls. To make it real, the actors actually got drunk, and were hitting golf balls into the side of the catering van!  

“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.”  ―  John Muir ,  The Mountains of California

"For me, trees have always been the most penetrating preachers. I revere them when they live in tribes and families, in forests and groves. And even more I revere them when they stand alone. They are like lonely persons. Not like hermits who have stolen away out of some weakness, but like great, solitary men, like Beethoven and Nietzsche. In their highest boughs the world rustles, their roots rest in infinity; but they do not lose themselves there, they struggle with all the force of their lives for one thing only: to fulfil themselves according to their own laws, to build up their own form, to represent themselves. Nothing is holier, nothing is more exemplary than a beautiful, strong tree. When a tree is cut down and reveals its naked death-wound to the sun, one can read its whole history in the luminous, inscribed disk of its trunk: in the rings of its years, its scars, all the struggle, all the suffering, all the sickness, all the happiness and prosperity stand truly written, t...

“Trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.”  ―  Molière “Writing is like prostitution. First you do it for love, and then for a few close friends, and then for money.”  ―  Molière “It is not only what we do, but also what we do not do, for which we are accountable.”  ―  Molière “Life is a tragedy to those who feel and a comedy to those who think.”  ―  Molière
