We had today group lunch and one of my colleagues who happens to be from Russia was talking about wines/alcohols! What i am about to write is probably of no interest to many if not all (hopefully). Anyhow he said Vodka is not Russian rather of Polish origin! Interesting, I didnt know that!



Arabs/Iraqis call this cup of tea, istikan jai استكان. Its believed that the British soliders gave it this name when they were in India. They used to call indian tea as East Tea-Can and the name moved with them when they left india heading to Iraq!!

Did you know Ibn Al-Haitham known as Alhazem, the physicist , is regarded as the father of modern Optics for his influential book written while he was under arrest by the muslim ruler of Egypt in the year 1039? To recap this brilliant muslim man's achievements using wikipedia:

Ibn al-Haytham's achievements include many advances in physics and mathematics. He gave the first clear description[26] and correct analysis[27] of the camera obscura. He enunciated Fermat's principle of least time and the concept of inertia (Newton's first law of motion),[28] and developed the concept of momentum.[29] He described the attraction between masses and was aware of the magnitude of acceleration due to gravity at-a-distance.[30] He stated that the heavenly bodies were accountable to the laws of physics and also presented a critique and reform of Ptolemaic astronomy. He was the first to state Wilson's theorem in number theory, and he formulated the Lambert quadrilateral[31] and a concept similar to Playfair's axiom[32] now used in non-Euclidean geometry. Moreover, he formulated and solved Alhazen's problem geometrically using early ideas related to calculus and mathematical induction.[33]
