This is the thread for unusual details in wikipedia articles.

i have had this album in the unplayed for years .. decided to give it a go yesterday, and so, checked wiki ..

"The band were forced to split after a brief romantic relationship between bassist Luke Keyte and singer Nick Hill ended, leaving Keyte in rehab for a cocaine addiction and Nick Hill in hospital with a broken heart. Following the split Luke Keyte now spends his time sifting through Gordon Ramsay's bins."

amazingly i got to track 3 of the album.

that section was added with the edit summary "Spoke to the band last weekend."

.. and that changes what ?

does that mean its true !!?

i just assumed it was a scorned lover revenge thing.

i just thought it funny that someone added that section and justified it that way.

ha .. never thought of it like that.

As someone who can't read Hebrew, I just went to a page of Hebrew wikipedia and got weirded out by the mirrorworldiness of the RTL layout

(I was Googling a randomly-selected word to test that some Hebrew text was displaying the right way round in a work-related spreadsheet. It's always nice when you have no idea if any of the symbols on the screen you're working on are right or in the right order. What could possibly go wrong?)

Whereas the similarly plotted Junior (1994) explains how its male protagonist gets pregnant (injection of a fertilized embryo into the abdominal cavity), in Rabbit Test this area is never delved into; Lionel simply has sex (he's on the bottom) and becomes pregnant.

As of December 2013, the Hell's Angels sells its branded merchandise at a retail store in Toronto, Canada.[41] Over seven years, it has defended its brand and label against use in clothes, jewelry, posters, and yo-yos.[41]

Along with former Comptroller General David Walker, Rivlin danced the Harlem Shake in a video produced by The Can Kicks Back, a nonpartisan group that aims to organize millennials to pressure lawmakers to address the United States' $16.4 trillion debt.[7] The video concludes with her making an importuned plea to the twenty somethings seated around the room: "There's no dancing around the fact that more needs to be done quickly to put our future debt on a downward track. But our leaders need to hear from you."

"and yo-yos" could be productively added to so many Wikipedia paragraphs.

A few days before his death, Hasegawa had lunch with friend and American artist, John C. Goss. Jovial and witty as usual, he showed Goss photos of his latest paintings - a series depicting nude, Hindu-inspired male deities. These works would come to be exhibited at a memorial exhibition, along with a final series of starkly disembodied and erect phalluses unlike anything else Hasegawa ever created. Hasegawa's brother had cleaned out the artist's apartment and thrown out all of his works, unaware of their value, but rescued them after receiving a letter posted from Bangkok by Hasegawa asking that his works be sold at the Naruyama Gallery following his death. According to Toshie Urabe, who spoke with Hasegawa's brother, the only clues left at the scene of his death were a small piece of rope (he had asphixiated himself using rope tied around a door knob) and a small stone on which he had painted a portrait of Yukio Mishima (Hasegawa's death preceded the anniversary of Mishima's own suicide).

Their acquisition of Orkin Exterminating Company in 1964 is among the first significant leveraged buyout transactions. In the following years, the three Bear Stearns bankers would complete a series of buyouts including Stern Metals (1965), Incom (a division of Rockwood International, 1971), Cobblers Industries (1971) and Boren Clay (1973) as well as Thompson Wire, Eagle Motors and Barrows through their investment in Stern Metals. Although they had a number of highly successful investments, the $27 million investment in Cobblers ended in bankruptcy.]

Edd the Duck is also a great fan of Kylie Minogue who popped in to visit him in the Broom Cupboard. It was during this appearance that she infamously became the first known Antipodean to swear live on British television, although many have followed since.[2]

Shooting was complicated by an early New York spring, which interfered with the bleak winter atmosphere that prevails throughout the film,[21] and by the difficulty of filming several cats, who, unlike dogs, ignore the desires of filmmakers. On the advice of an animal trainer, the Coens put out a casting call for an orange tabby cat, which is sufficiently common that several cats would be available to play one part. Individual cats were then selected for each scene based on what they were predisposed to do on their own.

Other achievements outside the realm of television include recognition by the State of California as Citizen Hero of the Year in 2001, and the equally notable accomplishment of out-eating wrestler King Kong Bundy in a cheesesteak sandwich-eating contest at Dominick's Kitchen while Bundy was guest starring on Married... with Children.

Less unusual and more "unusually over-detailled".

Music video[edit]
The video is set on a rainy afternoon in a park. Valerie Simpson exits a taxi in a park on a cloudy day, and escapes from a sudden downpour underneath a bridge. As she sings the opening of the song a cappella, she's joined by Nick Ashford, who joins in. As the video progresses, they're joined by others, including a cyclist in yellow spandex (who misses a great party), a gang of hoodlums who just want to sing, and several bongo players who are also trying to escape the downpour.[3]

From 2001 to 2006, Kiss offered for sale a custom-made coffin emblazoned with imagery of the band for $4500. On the Howard Stern radio show, Gene Simmons said of the casket, "This is the ultimate Kiss collectible. I love livin’, but this makes the alternative look pretty damn good."[8] The coffin is frequently cited as a prime example of just how extreme the band's quest for merchandising can be. Notable people to be buried in a Kiss Kasket include Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell.

Donkey Burger (Chinese: 驴肉火烧; pinyin: lǘròu huǒshāo) is a kind of sandwich commonly eaten in Baoding, Hebei Province, China, where it is considered a local specialty,[1] as well as in other places in China. Chopped or shredded donkey meat is placed within a huǒshāo or shao bing, a roasted, semi-flaky bread pocket, and eaten as a snack or as part of a meal. The meat is often served cold, often with green pepper or cilantro leaves, in a warm huoshao. It is not a proper burger.
