This is the thread for unusual details in wikipedia articles.

On May 21, 2009, Judge Morrison England, Jr., of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California dismissed the case Sugawara v. PepsiCo, Inc.[27] The plaintiff, Janine Sugawara, claimed she had purchased the cereal Cap'n Crunch with Crunchberries because she believed "crunchberries" indicated she was eating real fruit. Sugawara alleged that after four years of purchasing the product she had only recently discovered to her dismay that said "berries" were in fact simply brightly colored cereal balls. The judge commented "In this case...it is simply impossible for Plaintiff to file an amended complaint stating a claim based upon these facts. The survival of the instant claim would require this Court to ignore all concepts of personal responsibility and common sense. The Court has no intention of allowing that to happen."[28]

Together with the Little Mermaid of Denmark and Manneken Pis of Belgium, the Singapore Merlion is ranked in Japan as the 'Three Major Disappointments of the World'[3][4][5][6]. This meme was played out in episode 6 of the anime series A Place Further Than The Universe, when two of the characters expressed to their chagrin that the Merlion was not as disappointing as they thought.

And also

Singaporeans often substitute the term "Merlion" in lieu of vomiting, in reference of the constant gushing of water from the Merlion's mouth.[20] It is now used by Singaporean medical staff as slang for a patient who has intractable vomiting.

Good one!

The IP from which he made the edit was tentatively traced to vandalizing the Wikipedia entries for African wild ass, The Bronx, The Sopranos, Ron Artest, Stacy Keibler, and Naugatuck, Connecticut.

When joining English side Sunderland for a record £4 million soon afterwards, the club inserted a "Space Clause" that stated that if he were to travel into space his contract would become wholly invalid

LL was quoted as saying "This was my finest shark-related song ever. I can't believe it didn't chart."[citation needed]

Electronic artist Joel Zimmerman, better known by his stage name deadmau5, owns a black-and-white bicolor cat whose full name is "Professor Meowingtons PhD", usually shortened to "Meowingtons".

“Joel Zimmerman”?!

Plot

Somewhere in the primal wilderness near the Shadow Mountains in the year 1983, Red Miller (Nicolas Cage) has fallen deeply for the deceptively charming Mandy Bloom (Andrea Riseborough). However, the life he has made for himself comes crashing down suddenly and horrifyingly, when a vile band of ravaging cultists and supernatural creatures desecrate his idyllic home with vicious fury. A broken man, Red now lives for one thing only—to hunt down these maniacal villains and exact swift vengeance.

(Whoever tried to sound smart while writing this are just turning people away from this article. Not only do they sound redundant, but the vocabulary used sounds like they wrote it normally and replaced every adjective with synonyms they discovered for the first time with thesaurus.com, and didn't double check to make sure the synonyms were close enough to use in the same context. Get a better editor.)

lol

One single, the tough "Outside Chance", written by Warren Zevon and featuring guitar work in the style of the Beatles' "Taxman", didn't chart at all.

Jeffrey Green contributed the drums and omnichord tracks for "The Maker". Jeffrey Green was not featured in the music video for the song, although his character was portrayed roughly by a man dressed like him. Willie Nelson never publicly accredited Jeffrey Green for his contributions to the song.

Jeffrey Green later redressed this issue by editing the Wikipedia entry for "The Maker".

A.O. Scott of The New York Times considered Black Dynamite would be a better "five-minute clip on YouTube" than a feature film. Scott wrote, "A boom mike drifts down into the frame; an actor recites stage directions along with his lines. The camera zooms, pans and shifts focus as if it were being wielded by an optometrist on a cocaine binge. The acting is stiff, the dialogue painfully self-conscious, the action sequences choreographed and edited to look as cartoonish as possible. All of which is fun, for a while, in an academic kind of way." In a 2012 interview, "Black Dynamite" responded to Scott, saying "Well, obviously A.O. stands for 'asshole’s opinion,' ‘cause we here talking about it right now. Damn movie’s been tweeted about every two minutes since 2009."

ID3v1 pre-defines a set of genres denoted by numerical codes. Winamp extended the list by adding more genres in its own music player, which were later adopted by others (though some are of dubious value: e.g. "Primus" is one specific band, not a genre, and "Negerpunk" appears to be a racist joke in Swedish).

Catholic hip-hop artists
Note: It is difficult to find an existing list of Catholic emcees (rappers) and DJs. This is an attempt to create an exhaustive list of said artists. Some of these artists are listed above under "Non-liturgical Artists".

One of Goodall's tracks, "Free Spirit" from his album Meditation & Visualisation (2001) features the same Spectrasonics "Distorted Reality" sample featured in the "Summer Forest" music in the video game Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!, as composed by Stewart Copeland.

lot going on in that sentence huh

To orient the reader on any topic, it is crucial to establish how it relates to Spyro 2.

In 2005, Fish won a Celebrity Music edition of The Weakest Link, beating Eggsy of Goldie Lookin Chain in the final round, sharing £18,750 with Eggsy's charity and his own.

Through the ballot process, the voters decided that the capital would remain in Tallahassee. The moment was "ripe" for spending money on state facilities in Tallahassee. A dividing line had been crossed. Florida was different, renewed, and a new capitol was psychologically appropriate.[citation needed]

"Poe's law" is based on a comment written by Nathan Poe in 2005 on christianforums.com, an Internet forum about Christianity.

The song tells the story of a one-armed Cajun alligator hunter named Amos Moses, who was "named after a man of the cloth," son of Doc and Hanna Milsap, who lives "about 45 minutes southeast of Thibodaux, Louisiana" (which, at the rate of a mile per minute, would be near Galliano, Louisiana).

in the 1980s, Buster passed into the ownership of Egmont UK Ltd, who thereafter published it under the Fleetway imprint. There were a few missing months and weeks worth of issues due to strikes so there would have been more produced no doubt.

"about 45 minutes southeast of Thibodaux, Louisiana" (which, at the rate of a mile per minute, would be near Galliano, Louisiana).

Pretty much think a mile per minute is too generous for Bayou Country. Proceeding southeast from Thibodaux for 45 minutes will likely only get you as far as Larose, if you're lucky.

Larose is really east-southeast. Take 316 toward Montegut and you can reach gator territory in a comfortable three-quarters of an hour, but definitely leave Thibodaux before 3 pm (2:30 pm on Friday) so you don't hit rush hour outside Houma

You're probably right. There's a detour anyway on LA 1 for maintenance on the Valentine Bridge, so that's going to add some time.

"Theodore Roosevelt V (born November 27, 1942), commonly known as Theodore Roosevelt IV,"

cracking me up for some reason

Missing Persons appeared at a three-day Southern California concert known as the US Festival, Monday, May 30, 1983, along with Berlin, David Bowie, The Pretenders, U2, Little Steven & The Disciples of Soul, Quarterflash, Joe Walsh, Los Lobos (side stage only), and Stevie Nicks.

The bridge was named for Eugenius Harvey Outerbridge, the first chairman of the then–Port of New York Authority and a resident of Staten Island.[1][4][5] Rather than call it the "Outerbridge Bridge", the span was labeled a "crossing", but many New Yorkers and others mistakenly assume the name comes from the fact that it is the most remote bridge in New York City and the southernmost crossing in New York state.[5][6]

Also, no Google Street View for some reason.

Whorrey Potter and the Sorcerer's Balls is a magic themed gay pornographic film produced by Dominic Ford. The film is a parody of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and was released in 3D technology, being considered by some the most innovative product of the new technology since Avatar.

A little more about Eugenius:

Eugenius was born on March 8, 1860 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Bermudians Alexander Ewing Outerbridge I and Laura Catherine Harvey.[1] His sister, Mary Ewing Outerbridge, was the founder, in 1874, of American lawn tennis which was the progenitor of modern tennis. His other siblings include: Albert Albany Outerbridge; Joseph Outerbridge; August Emelio Outerbridge (1846-1921) who died on January 14, 1921; Harriett Harvey Outerbridge; Alexander Ewing Outerbridge II; Laura Catharine Outerbridge; and Adolph John Harvey Outerbridge (1858-1928) who died on May 29, 1928.

On John Cale's album 'Caribbean Sunset':

The album features contributions from Brian Eno and an otherwise "young unknown" band.

(a reference shows that this is derived from the allmusic article on the album which contains the bit: "(...) as "Experiment Number 1" features Cale calling out the chord changes to the band (which features three young unknowns and Brian Eno, (...)" )

I knew two brothers who both had their father's first name as their middle name, but I don't know if I've seen three siblings share the same middle name - much less two brothers and a sister.

If you count confirmation names my sisters and I all share a middle name.

From the Mayo GAA subsection of the sports curses page (and really you could quote the whole thing):

It remains unbroken—despite the team reaching the final on nine[47] occasions since then, they have either completely collapsed on the day or been undone by a series of other unfortunate events.[48]

This makes it sound like natural disasters or non-bed shitting came into play, but this was the closest thing:

the "Kafkaesque black farce"[51] continued from where it had left off—with Donegal allowed bridge a 20-year gap between titles, helped in no small part by a nightmare opening quarter for Mayo as Michael Murphy—whose father is from Mayo—launched a rocket of a shot into the goal after three minutes.

Peter Quinn (1925 – 30 January 2016), also credited as Peter Quinlan (to avoid the ban on clerics playing inter county football)

The piece can be heard in the Tom and Jerry episode "Snowbody Loves Me", as well as in The King of Fighters 2003 when players face Adelheid Bernstein, in the Abbott and Costello short The Music Lovers where Lou fakes playing the piano while Bud hides behind the piano with a phonograph, in the Scooby-Doo television movie Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers, when the character Shreako plays a piano with a broken key, and also in Power Rangers Zeo in an episode where a character named Skull plays it in a contest. A cover version of this piece is used as the opening sequence music for the UK game show Interceptor.[4] The piece can be heard in Deadly Premonition only by driving the car of Diane Ames, which can be purchased alongside the cars of several other characters. It also plays in the video game Catherine, in the final battle against Dumizid. In Looney Tunes: Duck Amuck, Daffy Duck plays an exploding piano and, in The Amanda Show, the mad teacher plays a piano. It can also be heard twice in Eternal Sonata – once during a brief interlude in the second chapter and an arrangement can be heard in the game's final battle. The opening can be heard in Same Time, Next Year (1978) when, in the scene when George is ready for romance and Doris enters in the final stage of her pregnancy, George sits down at the piano and plays it to try to dissipate his excess energy. In Kamen Rider Kuuga, it can be heard several times during episodes 27 and 28, during which a villain bases her murders around a portion of the piece's notes. The Dance Dance Revolution song "Kakumei," from the game DDR Max 2, is based on this étude. The song Sonido Bestial[5] from the album El Bestial Sonido de Ricardo Ray y Bobby Cruz by Richie Ray & Bobby Cruz released in 1971 incorporates a rendition of this étude. This étude is also featured in the manga Your Lie in April, with one of the main characters performing it. This étude is also remixed by the artist xi, named Revoluxionist,[6] which was also featured as a purchasable content in the iOS & Android Game, Cytus.

As an intro, the étude can also be heard in part being played by John Tout of the English band Renaissance on the title song of their 3rd album (first album of the classic lineup), Prologue.

i won't front, i'm listening to "sonido bestial" right now and it's a fucking monster

Putting the tude in étude

"Kerry committed suicide via a .44 caliber gunshot to the heart on February 18, 1993 on his father's ranch in Van Zandt County, Texas due to popular belief the actual ranch is not in Denton County but in fact it is located in Chandler Texas."

that's a strange reason to commit suicide

not so much "unusual" as "jfc, nerds," but a dude who wrote over 175 episodes of TV in a 3-decade career has this as his wikipedia entry:

Career

Anthony Steven began his career as a reporter on the Oxford Mail. Later, he was discovered by John Grierson, the founder of the Crown Film Unit, who hired him as a writer.

In 1957 Steven joined the BBC. A prolific writer, he wrote many television serials over a period of thirty years. Some of his scripts were original but many were adaptations of classic novels, including several episodes of The Forsyte Saga (1967). In 1984, he wrote the script for the Doctor Who story The Twin Dilemma, the first to star Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor.[1]. A 1998 poll by Doctor Who Magazine ranked the serial the second worst of all time (the Children in Need special Dimensions in Time was ranked lowest), while a 2003 poll by fansite Outpost Gallifrey ranked it worst of all, below even Dimensions in Time. In 2009, another Doctor Who Magazine poll of the 200 stories produced up to that point saw the serial finish in last place again, along with finishing last in every single age group that voted (although Dimensions in Time technically scored lower, it was no longer included in the main poll due to its lack of canonicity within the series and was instead placed in a spin-off section). A similar poll in 2014 placed the story in last place once again.
