While looking at these cute whales on the East Coast.... we are looking West for today's #GlobeFacts. How did the film industry end up in L.A.? To get away from Thomas Edison. Edison - who lived in New Jersey - held most of the country’s film patents. Filmmakers fled westward to avoid Edison’s intellectual property claims. Beverly Hills started out as a modest lima bean ranch. And Santa Monica Pier was originally designed to protect a sewage pipe that dumped treated sewage into the ocean. In 2006, a new tar pit was discovered. It contained the remains of saber-toothed cats, giant sloths, American lions, and a mammoth that was named Zed. If Los Angeles were its own country, its economy would be bigger than Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, and Sweden’s. In 1996, Charlie Sheen bought 2,615 outfield seats at Angels Stadium in nearby Anaheim - so he could catch a home run ball. He came up empty handed. The Hollywood sign originally said “Hollywoodland.”. (It was an advertisement for Tinseltown’s latest real estate development.) Continues tomorrow with more #AmericaFacts via Yahoo Travel.

Rounding out #GlobeFacts Easter as we all hit the reality of being back at work after four glorious days off. From rocket wars to hill burning, people around the world celebrate Easter differently.. see last 2 posts for 1 & 2. WET MONDAY: SLOVAKIA On Wet Monday dedicated men follow the ancient tradition of dumping a bucket of cold water over an unsuspecting young woman when she answers her front door. This Slovak gem is said to bless the soaked individual with fertility and strength. The men are then invited in and rewarded with dyed eggs, money and vodka. HALLOWEEN IN SPRING: SWEDEN On Maundy Thursday, Swedish children don face paint and grab broomsticks to dress up as witches and go door-to-door asking for sweets. According to Swedish legend, witches visited the forest of Blakulla before Easter, to party with the devil as he held his earthy court. Globes : 80cm in Mint Green .. destined for a wooden Galileo base.
