A tortilla in Mexico and a tortilla in Spain are 2 different things. The one in Spain is a large, round egg omelette/pie with potatoes, often cut up into individual serving portions served as tapas, or appetizers.

Feel free to post your own useful trivia if you're bored.

The average human emits approximately 95 watts of energy as heat in the form of infrared light. A standard 100 watt incandescent light bulb emits only about 5% of its energy as visible light, the rest is given off as heat in the form of infrared light. This means the average human produces the same amount of heat as a 100 watt light bulb.
