One of the dubious benefits of editing is that one learns a lot of not-particularly-useful, but still interesting, trivia.  I ran across this factoid adding a footnote for English speakers to a translation of a book on Mexican sex workers.

      Damn… you’re good! And all three had foreign nationality from birth.
