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?

Alan's father and Van Pelt were portrayed by the same actor in Jumanji. The image on Significant Double Casting even made me know the reason for this!

Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!The root words of Mythology are Mythos (Story) and logos (Speech) due to ancient cultures initially passing them down verbally.
Thus, it is perfectly acceptable to call Christianity a Mythology or Mythos because regardless of whether you believe or not, the Bible tells a story. (stories are not necessarily fictional as me telling you an interesting thing that happened the other day is still telling a story).

Read Pokemon Ultimate EmeraldSheesh, what a world. They don't even let you share some crappy edgy parody of Mario with plushies who was actually published on a Nintendo console anymore. I'll just tell you to search Shitamachi Ninjō Gekijō (the name of that thing in Japanese) and read the Mario wiki article on it (especially the Gallery section).

"It ain't about whether you win or lose, unless you got money on the game, because...damn. That's your money, son."I didn't notice that either, despite either Super Mario Bros. 1 or Super Mario Bros. 3 (I don't remember which because I don't remember much from back then) being the first game I ever played.
