Stuff I have looked up for Gambit so far include FDR's "day of infamy" speech, Pearl Harbor, the Blitz, the Occupation of France, 9/11, the Declaration of Independence, the original six ships of the U.S. Navy, war crimes, crimes against humanity, crimes against peace, South Carolina's declaration of independence (during the Civil War), the speed of light, the American Revolution, spies in WWII, treason, high treason, misprision of treason, maglev rail, the layout of the battlestar Galactica, the parts of a fighter jet, art nouveau jewelry, runaway slave takers, the Continental Congress, various parliaments, forms of address, and that's just the non-Star Wars stuff.

Ah, research. How did people do this before Wikipedia?

Living in libraries, dodging the closing librarian and sometimes getting forgotten about in the library and getting locked in.

What? It's not like I've never done that.

Fortunately the closing times for my university libraries were either somewhere around 3 am (Tulane) or "never" (Leicester), but I generally don't even do academic work in the library.

But yes, libraries. Good.
