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.

Hey guys...and gals...I was just browsing through an XKCD strip and ended up learning that Jimmy Carter was attacked by a swimming rabbit.

So, what interesting things have you guys...and gals...only recently learned about?

Well, it's not like I just go around sucking random dicks just to taste them. Or googling semen flavor.

On that note, only semi related, but can they taste like strawberry?

I don't really know that, but I have to say I wouldn't at all be surprised if you did just go around sucking dicks. I have a fantasy about it okay actually no I don't

Uh-huh. So you were just running off with my diamond encrusted dildo the other day to use it instead of pawning it off? Yeah, right. And what about that time you snatched my navel ring off and tried to play it off as an accident when it was obvious you were lying, hmm? I know what you're up to! I saw you fucking that other woman! You just want to run off with her somewhere fancy, don't you? Asshole! D:<

Hey, you know how extravagant I think those things are. I swear, I just gave the money from pawning them to hobos.

As for that chick...Would you believe I slipped?

I was nice and left MV's full quote intact, though it was tempting just to add "...I just go around sucking random dicks just to taste them. Or googling semen flavor." To the quotes page. tongue

I didn't know what a Sudan was until 2008, when I was laughed at by the one who told it to me for a full minute. Of course I been seeing Sudans all my life- I just didn't know the term! Said guy went on to hook up with one of my crushes and is no longer in the same city as I am.

Hitler suffered from sudden and uncontrollable bouts of excess farting due to gastrointestinal problems.

He apparently used to rush out of the room at the end of important dinners.

Do you mean knives made to cut cardboard apart, or knives made out of cardboard?

I'm sure the later was meant as you'd have to be kinda dumb to not realize a box cutter can actually hurt someone.

The Anti Sora bossfight in Kingdom Hearts 1 is in Neverland because it's his shadow, which mirrors Peter Pan chasing his shadow in the movie.

I only realized that just now.
