What interesting things have you only recently learned about?
To be clear, this is about things which have been true for some time and you only recently learned about, not things that only happened recently. In particular, recent deaths of celebrities and other high-profile individuals should go in the General RIP Thread.
So, what interesting things have you guys...and gals...only recently learned about?

@ Olly. MERGE WITH Esfrantaglitsch!
And...Try to make people abandon their old language by a new one, even if it is a made up one, would be a living hell of logistic troubles and political opposition

Its a shame we don't speak Esperanto. I'm sure European unionisation would happen much faster and better.

The problem with Esperanto is that it's freaking hideous.
Not to mention it's not actually a real language.

Haw Haw Haw I'm for setting the world on fire.
I'd say we don't need to talk. Why not Sign language? More hilarious to watch debates as an added bonus.

'All he needs is for somebody to throw handgrenades at him for the rest of his life...'Thought it was "a flame in your heart"?
War is God.It is, but I really like setting fire to people's cars.
