This thread is a really interesting one and I hope that as many people reply as possible and that as few flames can occur as possible. Tell everyone something that you found out recently which you think you should have known all along and was very surprised to not have known! Couple examples from yours truly: I never realized that the Biggs and Wedge from sooo many Final Fantasy games were actually names taken from Luke Skywalker's Rogue friends in Star Wars! I realized this just the other day as I was playing FF7 and it just came out of nowhere! I never realized that Ope Rand chose his name to make the word Operand. I finally figured this out just a few minutes ago haha. Again, try to keep low on the flames, preferably none, but please post, I'd like to hear other people's discoveries!

You never knew that Darwin!?!  I just discovered that if you add -login <first name> <last name> <password> to the path of your SL shortcut, you can login automatically! Yay! |

Today I learned Douglas Adams is actually dead when I checked out his posthumously compiled book from the library today. Why did I not know this? I have no clue. I'm sad now.  |

I just found out that if you linked your objects while signed into "group A" you can't unlink if you are signed into "group B"
I asked many peeps yesterday for help in unlinking and no one offered that suggestion. Or was it merely coincidence?

I just realized that I am pathetic. I actually clicked the link that I posted, just to double check it wasnt an actual site.

I've just realised my right arm has gone to sleep (leaning chin on hand while browsing forums), and now I look like a 90 year-old man as I try to pick up my coffee mug

I just realized that I'm 5 months old. Well... I realised like a minute ago... but that applies as "just"
Edit: I just realized that I spelled "realized" incorrectly.
