Corrections, Questions

• César Pelli designed the new national terminal, not Rem koolhaas.
• Kool-Aid Man is his name.
• Brenda's parents have Wassily chairs, not Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona chairs.
• Eight Tokyo restaurants were recently bestowed with three stars, not twelve. And Paris has ten three star restaurants, although France overall has many more (26 in 2005).

• I haven't been able to find evidence of HP running an IT sweatshop in the late 1990's, either. Don't know where that idea came from...
