Random Information You Learned on or because of GreekChat

[carnation]

This is one I started ages ago:

http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...e+learned+from

...but it's really old! It'd be great to hear what else people have learned since then. As for me, the non-Greek stuff I've learned here has either been latebreaking news or shockingly off color stuff about my husband always asks,"Did you learn that on Greek Chat?"

That the "brothel law" is just a myth!

I totally understand this. As I was commenting on a thread today, I thought to myself, "why in the world am I commenting about people masturbating in public?" I mean, it was about a news story and it is interesting from a sociological perspective to wonder why we usually hear about men doing stuff and not women, but really, it's kind of inappropriate never-the-less, and yet, EVERYTHING gets talked about on GC.

ETA: Ew, just looked up "pegging" on urbandictionary.com. Thanks a lot, Dionysus. At least, thank goodness, there were no illustrations.

Pegging (though I could have lived without learning what that was all about)

I learned most people are 30% as smart as they think they are, but are 90% more opinionated.

What issues were you talking about that revealed this data?
It seems like it would be unlikely to reveal itself in the recruitment threads, but maybe I'm wrong.

...that the University of West Alabama exists.

And I lived in Alabama for 4 years!
