recently(mid-April,2017) made the headlines for countering
one of the most notorious and fast growing unit of its kind.

the name would suggest.

35. The famous landmark was constructed in 1923. Over the course of more
than half a century, the sign, designed to stand for only 18 months,
sustained extensive damage and deterioration.
In 1978, in large part because of the public campaign to restore the
landmark by Hugh Hefner, founder of Playboy magazine, the severely
deteriorated structure was replaced with a more permanent one.
The original structure was presumed to have been destroyed until 2005,
when it was put up for sale on eBay by Dan Bliss and it was sold to a
sculptor named Bill Mack for $450,400.

48. "The Pineapple Incident"
Back in the 17th century, it was a highly sought-after commodity. It was
very rare (in England) and therefore very expensive, and was the
crowning fruit of only the most lush feasts; a symbol of significant
wealth. If you attended a dinner party back in the 1600s and there was
pineapple on the table, you could consider yourself very honoured
indeed.
Another theory says it has to do with the tradition of British navy
captains putting a pineapple atop their gateposts on returning home
from sea.
Theories behind the presence of which 'famous' pineapple?

swallowed the sea in a huge gulp.Where the sea was, now lay the newly
