George Orwell is the pen name of author Eric Arthur Blair. He is most remembered for his books Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm. However, Blair's writings took a jarringly dystopian turn only after the 2$^{nd}$ world war. Before that he wrote of his time in Burma, and was also fascinated with the life of the poor and destitute. He spent a number of years living in poverty, and describes this time in his book Down and Out in Paris and London. Another neat little tidbit: Blair was born in India.
Some Germans rub the salt pieces off of their pretzel before eating them. This can incite debates about whether this is the right thing to do.
