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?

I am surprised, since I always liked her better than her Japanese voice actor and personally thought she did a great job.

How can you love someone if you won’t even eat their poop while you two watch a burning building that you set on fire after your lover barricaded all the exits?

"Proto-Indo-European makes the damnedest words related. It's great. It's the Kevin Bacon of etymology." ~MadrugadaNo, it's that the preferred order for most people seems to be... "Rock, Paper, Scissors!" We always used the "Paper, Rock, Scissors" order when I was a kid, in my family, and suddenly nobody ever seems to use that anymore.
