things I've learned recently

There's a huge interesting culture surrounding Hashing (ie, running with the Hash House Harriers). Chris, one of my running club friends, was talking about this yesterday on our run. It's this outside-of-everyday-life environment where you go by your special Hashing Name (you're "Just Firstname" until you get one), the normal social hierarchy is flattened (even/especially for military hashers), and you have to point at things with your elbow. Also, there's alcohol and running. Sounds kind of like carnival!

Apparently in Spain [citation needed], pointing at your tie can have the meaning "your wife got this for me". I humbly submit that, if true, this is awesome.
