The "I learned something new today!" Thread

[xSuperMario64x]

Everyday I find myself saying "wow I learned something new today" and I know I can't be the only one, so I'm making a thread dedicated to every time we learn something new!
I'll start:

I know this is more of a forgotten thing, but I just learned that my player on AC:GCN had a birthday yesterday!

Santa Claus is thought to be partially based on the Norse god Odin.

Also I hope this thread actually becomes somewhat of an established thing, because I think it's a good idea. I tried making a similar thread a few months ago and it ended up sinking to the bottom, so I wish you luck on this one.

On a learning the hard way, if you laptop says the battery will last for 1 hour 45 minutes it's more likely 45 minutes unless you just leave it on and do nothing else.
