De: An honest trade

One of the sometimes challenging aspects of RP is having characters whose knowledge-base is wildly different from that of the player. So your character has adopted a pet - you have to go look up what a pet-owner might expect from that species and breed at different stages of its development. Maybe your character is an expert at a craft, occupation, or sport with which you're not terribly familiar, or you want to make sure you portray a character from a specific time period and socio-economic status accurately.
What I'd like to know is: what sort of research has RP led you into? What things do you know now that you wouldn't have known, if you weren't playing in Milliways?
