This is the thread for unusual details in wikipedia articles.

Jan Cyrka is a British guitar player. In the early 80s Cyrka formed a band in London called The Broadway Metal Choir. The line-up featured himself on guitar, Kevin Riddles (bass, ex-Angelwitch; Tytan), Kevin Fitzpatrick (keyboards) and Andy Beirne (drums). Unlikely vocalist Max Gelt- a deli owner from Florida- was drafted in on vocals, but after six weeks of touring he broke his leg and returned to Miami. The band released an album in 1985 called 'And God Gave Us Max', but split soon afterwards. After they broke up, most of the band returned to session work, but Cyrka was then to spend three years in Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction (under the name Flash Bastard). After a support slot with Guns N' Roses, Cyrka left the band to focus on solo work. He released his critically acclaimed debut, "Beyond The Common Ground," in 1992. The track "Western Eyes" was used as the theme to the Radio 1 Rock Show. 1995's follow-up album, "Spirit," continued the melodic style but dialled-down some of the guitar pyrotechnics of ...Common Ground. 1997's "Prickly Pear" dialled down the hystrionics further still and included vocals from T'Pau singer Carol Decker.

Jan was also an endorsee of Trace Elliot and Hamer guitars. He is responsible for the theme tune of the Jeremy Kyle Show on ITV.

In 1963, General Mills vice president John Holahan inventively discovered that Circus Peanuts shavings yielded a tasty enhancement to his breakfast cereal. General Mills formalized the innovation and created Lucky Charms, the first breakfast cereal to contain marshmallow bits (or "marbits").[2]

My new favourite song précis:

The lyrics describe a conversation between "Hattie" and "Matty" concerning the American Bison and the desirability of developing dancing skills, although no attempt is made to synthesize these divergent topics.

That's awesome.

The Cult are a Post Modern Rock band active since 1983.

Robert John Godfrey has said that he does not regard The Enid as a progressive rock band because most of it is "not actually progressive" and he would rather not be associated with the term.[citation needed] But that has not stopped prog rock fanzines and websites from promoting the band.[citation needed] He has also been quite scathing in his criticism of "neo-progressive" bands accusing them of lacking charm, talent and originality. However, this has not prevented the band from taking advantage of publicity in prog rock websites and magazines.[citation needed]

classic unusual detail

"Though [Master P's} net worth was once estimated at $600,000,000, he has been ordered to pay just $271 a month in child support for his four minor children"

Surely they mean $600,000?

Oh wait, read the rest of the article, apparently was apparently pretty $$$

I think he gold bathroom is worth more than $600,000. Plus Eric Bischoff used to pay him two hundred grand a show for WCW and he was on there for like a year doing fuck all. No Limit did go bankrupt tho.

In 1969, Lucas married film editor Marcia Lou Griffin, who went on to win an Academy Award for her editing work on the original Star Wars film. George and Marcia adopted a daughter, Amanda, in 1981, and divorced in 1983. Lucas has since adopted two more children: Katie, born in 1988, and Jett, born in 1993. All three of his children have appeared in the three Star Wars prequels, as has Lucas himself. During the 1980s, Lucas was in a relationship with singer Linda Ronstadt. He has been dating Mellody Hobson, president of Ariel Investments, since 2006 and she has accompanied him to several events including the 79th Academy Awards ceremony in February 2007, an American Film Institute event in October 2007, the 2008 Cannes Film Festival held in May, and the 2010 Golden Globes.

The Return of the Jedi novelization introduced the term "jizz-wailer" to describe a musician, but the term "jizz" on its own, as the name of the musical style, was not introduced until the publication of Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina, twelve years later.

The packaging of the 2007 Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes action figure 5-pack refers to the band's music as "jazz", which may indicate that "jizz" is being phased out of Star Wars canon. However, it's more likely that Hasbro did not want the term, synonymous with semen, on a toy package.

synonymous with semen

Much more personal to add your own semen to the package.

Watson reportedly felt "ambivalent" about prostituting women, even though it "paid better" than music.

The high point, in terms of well-known candy, came during the ten years Rick Santorum sat at the candy desk (1997–2007). Being a senator from Pennsylvania, he filled the candy desk with Hershey candy and Just Born products (such as Mike and Ike and Hot Tamales).[1] During this time period, Hershey shipped roughly 100 pounds of chocolate and other candy four times a year for Santorum to fill the desk.[10] When Santorum did not win re-election during the 2006 U.S. Senate elections, Kirk Saville, a spokesman for Hershey, said about the company's no longer being able to supply sweets for the candy desk, "We were pleased to be a small part of sweetening up congressional proceedings."[1]

Limahl, and the hairstyle he sported circa 1984, was illustrator Arthur Adams' inspiration for the look of the Marvel Comics character Longshot.

A clear cola is a colorless cola that is so "crystal clear", that one can literally see right through it as though it were a clear, transparent crystal.

Throughout the adventure, Hudson is foiled in repeated attempts to drink a cappuccino.

For the first time in their career the band members decided to write personal dedication notes on the album sleeve thus thanking the late Alex Sadkin who had been killed in a car crash in late 1987, the late Andy Warhol, who had died in early 1987 and David Miles, a childhood friend of Le Bon's who died of an illegal drug cigarette during the album's creation.

Despite the name, many stress balls are not spherical.

There are several common causes of poor quality conference calls:
People simply not showing up.
Lack of familiarity with behaviour and protocol.
Lack of familiarity with equipment and technology.
Background noise and disturbances.
Poor coordination by call-initiator.
Lack of moderator
