Today I learned that two years ago, Indian scientists discovered a new spider, and because of its resemblance to the sorting hood from Harry Potter, they called it Eriovixia Gryffindori.

Nice facts! A community with knowledge of facts, that would be great..at least better that an imaginary community like Contoso :)
