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?

If you wanted a black version of Calamity Jane, Meet Stagecoach Mary. Seriously with Harriet having current film to her name, they should do one for her. Seriously, people need to bring back the Western genre due to the fact that there were interesting real life people like Mary.
Having a good time!
Today I learned that just because your MMORPG account ain't worth all that much doesn't mean someone isn't going to hack you, delete your characters and subscription, probably ruin your reputation with your guild, and generally make a mess of your favorite pastime. All because you let your advanced internet protection lapse for a month and a half. I feel like such an idiot.
If you need me, I'll be trying to cope with losing all my progress.

Clerics and paladins in dnd, or when it comes to pantheons and rules to them, don't actually have to worship one god of many, or even worship a god at all. They could be a cleric of one aspect of a monotheistic god, or a cleric/paladin of nature. OR A PALADIN OF COMMUNISM. The possibilities are endless. (This is as of 5e in the Dm's handbook. It might just be for settings, but... I want to have fun with this)

America needs a Gen X president. Not sure if Obama is Gen X; he was born in the '60s though.

The King Boo in Luigi's Mansion and the one from Super Mario Sunshine are not the same. In fact, the Sunshine one isn't a king at all.

Sacred clowns are apparently a thing.

Nermal from Garfield is a boy. I thought he was a girl.
A great Mascot Mook.
I have seen the amateur, and it is me.
Yup. In The Garfield Show, Nermal's voice is somewhat more masculine, though.
"I'm Gonna Be" is 3 minutes and 30 seconds, and the ISS is moving at 7.66 kilometers per second. So if an astronaut listens to the whole song onboard the ISS... they will have traveled almost exactly 1000 miles by the time the song ends.
