10 Cool Facts About Los Angeles
Los Angeles is one of the most popular cities in the world, and you probably already know a thing or two about it and its geography. It’s home to Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA, it’s a celebrity hot spot, the traffic is bad and it has some really cool beaches. However, there’s much more to the city than that. Check out these cool facts:
The Film Industry
You already know the film industry is big in Los Angeles, but do you know why? You can think inventor Thomas Edison for that. The New Jersey businessman had over 1,000 film patents and attempted to monopolize the industry, driving filmmakers west.
Luxury and Lima Beans
Today, Beverly Hills is a glamorous little spot where the rich and famous residents of Los Angeles and tourists from around the world come to shop at high-end boutiques. It’s almost hard to believe that it started out as a simple lima bean farm.
If you see a toad in Los Angeles, don’t try to lick it. Apparently, that’s against the law. It’s also against the law to herd more than 2,000 sheep down Hollywood Boulevard and to wear a zoot suit, aCC0rding to Mental Floss. And if you have two children under the age of two, don’t bathe them in the same bathtub, as that’s also against the law.
Los Angeles produced about a quarter of the world’s oil supply by 1923, aCC0rding to Mental Floss. Even though Texas has a reputation for being the place for big oil in the U.S., Los Angeles still has the third-largest oil field in the country. It was discovered near Dodger Stadium in 1892. There are still several other active oil fields, too, particularly in the Beverly Hills area.
Behind Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, LAX is the second-busiest airport in the country. It’s the fourth-busiest airport in the world. The airport was originally used for military crafts during World War II.
Mulholland Drive
If you’ve ever wondered who the iconic Mulholland Drive was named for, wonder no more. It was named for William Mulholland, the man who ran the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power during the early 1900s. If you live in the city today and have water and power, you can thank him.
Los Angeles has more cars than people, aCC0rding to Jack FM. As a matter of fact, cars take up a little less than one quarter of all land space in the city. No wonder traffic in town is always congested.
Los Angeles hasn’t always been called Los Angeles. Its original name was the much longer “El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora Reina de los Angeles sobre el Rio Porciuncula.” In Spanish, that means “the town of our lady queen of the angels on the Porciuncula River,” aCC0rding to Mental Floss. Luckily, it’s been shortened to something that’s much easier to say.
Los Angeles is one of the most diverse cities in the world. Over 135 languages are spoken among the city’s residents, reports Jack FM. It’s also home to the largest Thai population beyond Thailand.
Underground LA
Few people realize that Downtown Los Angeles sits on top of a large series of underground tunnels. They were used during Prohibition to illegally transport alcohol from once place to another.

Zankoku na Tenshi no These
" A Cruel Angel's Thesis " ( 残酷な天使のテーゼ [ ? ] , " Zankoku na Tenshi no Tēze ", " Zankoku na Tenshi no These " in Japan) is the theme song of the popular anime Neon Genesis Evangelion performed by Yoko Takahashi . It is used as the opening to the series, and two instrumental versions of it are played in the finale episode, " Take care of yourself. " These are "The Heady Feeling of Freedom" and "Good, or Don't Be", scored for violin, piano, and guitar. "The Heady Feeling of Freedom" is a somber and reflective piece for bowed strings and guitar, while "Good, or Don't Be" is played to a light piano and guitar tone. A similar version can also be heard during the intermission between the two parts of Evangelion: Death and Rebirth .
The single was released on October 25, 1995 with the part number KIDA-116 and it also reached a peak rank 17 in the Oricon album database, appearing in the ranks 61 times.
Unlike it is commonly assumed, this song was written without any involvement from the show's creators. [1] Anno originally wanted to use an excerpt from Borodin's Polovtsian Dances in the opening, but the producers did not approve of this and instead decided to use a J-Pop song, which eventually resulted in the creation of "A Cruel Angel's Thesis". The lyricist, Neko Oikama had next to no knowledge of the show. Oikama simply skimmed through a proposal of the show (possibly Neon Genesis Evangelion Proposal ) and watched unfinished versions of two episodes on fast-forward, only serving to broadly "fit" the anime after the fact. [2] [3] [4] Oikama took inspiration for the title from the manga A Cruel God Reigns . [5] She said the lyrics "become a legend" were originally "become a weapon". She was orientated that the show was "difficult and philosphical". Oikama described it as: "older women", "mothers" and "14-year-old boys and girls", and decided to make it about the perspective of a mother when her child "leaves the nest". [6] The original song included a male chorus, which was cut at director Hideaki Anno's request in order to "emphasize maternal affection". [7] The writing process for Episode:01 took as long as six months, [8] and the opening sequence was not yet finished. [9] [10] Singer Yoko Takahashi was also brought in relatively haphazardly and had no knowledge of the series, and would only see the opening featuring her voice when it aired on TV. [11]

During the instrumental break in the middle of the song, a chorus can be heard. The lyrics to the chorus are not in Japanese, nor in any other recognizable language. According to the January 1996 issue of Newtype magazine, the lyrics can be phonetically transliterated into Japanese as 「ファリィア。セタ(or セパ）メッソ。ファリィア。トゥスェ」 "Fariya. Seta (or sepa) messo. Fariya. Tuse" , and they are supposedly written in an untranslated language passed down from ancient times. One could entertain the possibility that they are written in the same language as that of the Dead Sea Scrolls . [13]

A Cruel Angel's Thesis
A Cruel Angel's Thesis is the opening theme song for the series Neon Genesis Evangelion , composed by Hidetoshi Sato and sung by Yoko Takahashi . The lyrics are by Neko Oikawa while the arrangement is by Toshiyuki Omori. The song also has the distinction of taking first place in the JASRAC Awards. [1]
This song was written with relatively limited involvement from Hideaki Anno and the production staff, being handled by producer Toshimichi Otsuki . [2] Anno originally wanted to use an excerpt from Borodin's Polovtsian Dances in the opening, but the producers did not approve of this and instead decided to use a J-Pop song, which eventually resulted in the creation of this song by Neko Oikawa.
Oikawa apparently had very little knowledge of the show, which was under production at the time with the episodes not having been colored. According to tweets and interviews, Oikawa went through a proposal of the show (possibly Neon Genesis Evangelion Proposal ) and watched two unfinished episodes on fast-forward, only serving to broadly "fit" the anime after the fact [3] [4] The writing process for Episode 01 took as long as six months, [5] and the opening sequence was not yet finished. [6] [7] The original song included a male chorus, which was cut at director Hideaki Anno's request in order to "emphasize maternal affection". [8]
Oikawa states that she took inspiration for the title from the manga A Cruel God Reigns . [9] Among other statements, Oikawa said the lyrics "become a legend" were originally "become a weapon" and that she decided to make the song about the perspective of a mother when her child "leaves the nest." [10]
Original Japanese Lyrics: Neko Oikawa
Translation Notes
1 This was translated by Takayama Miyuki and these are the translator's notes:
- young boy, become the legend! : The word "shinwa" actually means "myth" ("legend" would be "densetsu"), but I think it sounds better as "legend."
- with surging, hot pathos : "Atsui" (hot) can also mean "intense, passionate." "Pathos" is "the quality or power in life or art of evoking a feeling of pity or compassion; pity; suffering; sorrow."
- Embracing this sky [universe] and shining : "Sora" (sky) is the reading given for the kanji for "uchuu" (universe).
- has any meaning : The kanji used for the "a" in "aeta" is not the normal kanji used in "au" (to meet). It's the first kanji in "ouse" (encounter, tryst) and has more of a connotation of meeting by fate or being brought together by fate, not just meeting. (Interestingly, a dictionary I have gives the meaning of "au," when written with this kanji, as "to meet (with drama or pathos)")
- for learning freedom : The "watashi wa sou" is probably "watashi wa sou omou." And "bible" in this case isn't referring to *the* Bible. "Bible" can also mean "guide book, how-to book, a book valued for its use as a reference," like in "a handyman's bible," or "a bird-watcher's bible."
2 This is the translation found on the U.S. release of Evangelion by ADV.
3 The instrumental section contains chanted non-Japanese lyrics in Yoko Takahashi 's version and a few others, while other versions of the song have a purely instrumental section. The January 1996 issue of Newtype magazine transcribed Takahashi's lyrics in this section as "Fariya. Seta(or sepa) messo. Fariya. Tuse." which they speculate is from the fictional language of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Alternatively, an EvaGeeks forum discussion suggests that the lyrics may be "Faria? Será mesmo? Faria? Eu sei!" which is in the Portuguese language. Since the word "Faria" is usually used in a similar way as the English word "would", those lines could be interpreted as someone doubting something or someone else. There has never been any official information on the actual lyrics or their meaning, if any.
