The things you learn...

So, all of the years that I've been living in and around the DC area and seeing that gecko on television... I didn't know that "Geico" stood for anything -- other than it was the name of an insurance company. And it was supposed to have better rates than other companies, if you believe the Australian lizard.

Well, whaddya' know, but "Geico" actually stands for something: Government Employees Insurance Company.
