Apparently, Google bans users from creating an account with the username "scoobydoo@gmail.com." After reading this somewhere online, I attempted to do this as a test, and saw that it is indeed correct; Google won't let you create an account with that username. I tested it out and tried to create a couple other random accounts, and things like "bugsbunny@gmail.com," "homersimpson@gmail.com" and "daffyduck@gmail.com" are not allowed either. The reason for this is apparently because of copyright issues with popular characters, as Google could possibly get sued if someone were to use the account in an abusive way pretending to be a copyrighted character.
Also, as a very random addition, for some reason the question "why can't you cry in space?" accidentally popped up when I was researching this. Given that, I'm going to tell you why can't cry in space lol. Because there's no gravity, the tears don't go down, they just stick in your eye as a ball of liquid. Bet that wasn't what you expected to learn when reading this morning's fun fact, but it just goes to show you'll never know what you'll learn when checking the blog for the Monday fun facts haha.

homersimpson@gmail.com would be the last thing I'd expect in the inbox.

Seems that those aren't blocked! People already have accounts under all of those names (and also "ShaggyRogers").

I’m just imagining some guy actually named Homer Simpson not getting to name his email after himself
