Ya learn something new every day

As a perpetual student I strive to learn something new everyday. Somedays, I'm a bit more successful than others. Today however, I've stumbled upon the holy grail, a bit of information that no man should go through life without knowing.

It all started when the Straight White Guy decided to post about Ms. Marilyn Monroe.

Life being unfair I couldn't gawk at Ms. Monroe on the picture tube, so I settled for the next best thing, an interweb search.

During that interweb search I found NNDB. In their own words:

NNDB is an intelligence aggregator that tracks the activities of people we have determined to be noteworthy, both living and dead. Superficially, it seems much like a "Who's Who" where a noted person's curriculum vitae is available (the usual information such as date of birth, a biography, and other essential facts.)

Getting back to the subject at hand, per say, I stumbled upon Ms. Monroe's page on NNDB, with the following little tidbits of information:

Allegedly revealed to her therapist about a proposed tryst with Joan Crawford: "I told her straight out I didn't much enjoy doing it with a woman. After I turned her down, she became spiteful."

Wait just one second.

I told her straight out I didn't much enjoy doing it with a woman. After I turned her down, she became spiteful.

That would mean, at least one role in the hay with another woman right?

As so many have said before.
There's bad gay and there's good gay.

This example definitely good.
