This is the thread for unusual details in wikipedia articles.

This morning I was thinking about Marky Mark's nude torso in the Mighty Ducks.

It was included in the 1992 hit Disney movie, The Mighty Ducks, as well as the 1999 movie Analyze This, and in Tracer Hand's thoughts in 2010

That uncyclopaedia: slight smile, followed by much giggling, and then:

In the album Magical Mystery Tour Lennon wanted to succeed his famous "I am the Walrus" with "I has a Bukkit," a joyous scherzo. Sadly, the idea was shot down by the other members of the group. He described the incident later in his solo tune "Nooooo They be Stealin' Mah Bukkit!"

thumbs down

yeah, the Lennon page had some lafs, but the rest of uncyclo is poor.

Suggs got his nickname from randomly sticking a pin in an encyclopedia of jazz musicians while he was still in school, to avoid being labelled as the member of an ethnic minority owing to his Scottish name.

That's c&p from a Word article, pretty much.

It is a double entendre for dessert and sex, with a party attitude and a rouding backbeat. A cowbell can be heard during some parts of the song's bridge and solo (it is unclear if this is played by Sammy Hagar or Alex Van halen).

Dental Work

In September 2009 Eubank revealed his new dental work which he had undertaken to correct his famous lisp- at a cost of £31,000. The use of crowns, veneers, implants and a bridge had removed the gaps in his teeth and reduced the lisp to a mild whistle. He also claimed he wanted to win back his wife with his new smile.

On his return, he lived in Stoke Newington, Dalston, Hackney and then Peckham; largely poverished.

that's a fairly common trajectory for a poverished artist these days i suppose

The Government of Hong Kong has extended Unicode and the Big-5 character set with the Hong Kong Supplementary Character Set (HKSCS), which includes Chinese characters only used in Cantonese, including the Five Great Profanities. The government explained that the reason for these characters being included is to allow for the Hong Kong Police to record criminal suspects' statements. Consequently, these characters are now also in Unicode.

You are to tell us what the Five Great Profanities are this instant.

they are so Great ilx won't let me post them :>

In the Land Before Time series, two wise and philosophical Troodon make an appearance as mysterious, possibly space-faring dinosaurs called Rainbow-Faces.

Bryan Adams was approached to allow his song "Only the Strong Survive" on the soundtrack. He refused because he felt the film glorified war and he didn't want any of his work linked to it.

Aaron Lennon family is a Irish, English and Jamacian decent. But mainly English.

Because BC is the English abbreviation for Before Christ, it is sometimes incorrectly concluded that AD means After Death,[4] i.e., after the death of Jesus. If that were true, the thirty-three or so years of his life would not be in any era.[5][6]

sometimes that's what the 28 years of my life feel like tbh.....

The story goes that the Buryats did not know how to use firearms, so they decided to burn the muskets along with the dead Cossacks. The fire caused the guns to go off, killing a few people which made the Buryats think that the Russians were still fighting after they were dead.

A parable based on the life of Christ, it is full of references about the destruction of the world through massive constipation and a New Mexican setting.

wait, waht

In 1989, Kenneth Lamar Noid, a mentally ill customer who thought the ads were a personal attack on him, held two employees of an Atlanta, Georgia Domino's restaurant hostage for over five hours. After forcing them to make him a pizza and making demands for $100,000, getaway transportation, and a copy of The Widow's Son, Noid surrendered to the police.[3] Noid was charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault, extortion, and possession of a firearm during a crime. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity.

A dedicated oenophile, Kyle is partners with vintner Eric Dunham in Pursued By Bear, a winery in Washington's Columbia Valley. The name, suggested over dinner by Fred Savage, comes from a stage direction ("Exit, pursued by a bear") in Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale.[12]

{Ulrike} Ottinger developed her own bizarre surrealist film-style, which among other things, was marked by widespread abandonment of a linear plot and instead linger long in individual scenes, which in turn make überstarke and extravagant costumes of the imagination mostly female cast artfully to own collages were designed.

That looks like a bad Google Translation from German.

Bolam lives in Wisborough Green, West Sussex with his wife, the actress Susan Jameson (who co-starred with him in the TV series When the Boat Comes In and the current series New Tricks). They have a daughter. Bolam plays the violin with a local amateur orchestra, is a member of a barber shop choir singing baritone and is a playing member of West Sussex Golf Club at Pulborough. Apart from music, his other passion is ignoring actor Rodney Bewes (see above).

Barkley is well known for his fondness of golf. However, his swing is often regarded as one of the most bizarre and broken swings in the sport.[79] Barkley's swing unravels after he brings his club back. He starts to take it forward then jerks to a stop, throwing his body off balance, before wildly striking at the ball.[80] Once a 10-handicap golfer who could break 80, Barkley can no longer break 100 and finished last at the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship in July 2008.[80]

There ya go:

David Fonseca is already known by his powerful dancing on stage, equipped with his pair of Chuck Taylor All-Stars. He plays different instruments during the show and he is accompanied by his band, which includes: Sérgio Nascimento (drummer), Ricardo Fiel (guitarist), Rita Redshoes (ex-Atomic Bees in the piano and also voices; the second record single “Hold Still” it’s a David and Rita’s duet), Nuno Simões (bass player) and Paulo Pereira (hammond). David doesn’t just play his solo-career hits and the lesser-known tracks; he also plays (in most of his live concerts) “Angel Song”, the first music to be written by the artist, composed when he was only 18 and which was included in Silence 4’s first album. This theme is perhaps the one most loved among fans, both of the group and of David. At the middle of the show, he usually leaves the stage to return wearing a white suit, to announce that the “dancing time” has begun and that the “moonwalk” move is near. Then the crowd laughs.

Dewey Readmore Books:

Many believe that Dewey was a Maine Coon cat, or possibly a Norwegian Forest Cat. Some others have argued he was a Tabby Cat, or just simply an alley cat. But he was so handsome and beautiful that at first, Vicki Myron had wondered if he was part Persian, which must make her feel quite silly now, bless her.

Uh, this entire article? I <3 my Wikipedia, but it's good to be reminded that the office of the actual real editor is not a waste of resources.

According to Elliott Gould, he and Godard met to discuss the possibility of Godard directing Jules Feiffer's 1971 surrealist play Little Murders. During this meeting Godard said his two favorite American writers were Feiffer and Charles M. Schulz. Godard soon declined the opportunity to direct; the job later went to Alan Arkin.[citation needed]

gimme a fuckin break we invented the internet

From the entry on the Max Rebo Band:

"The group are classified as jizz-wailers, which, according to the Star Wars Encyclopedia, refers to a "musician who plays a fast, contemporary, and upbeat style of music."[1]

italicized there, too

In the episode "To The Death Baby" (see below) a beautiful sophisticated rich single lady millionaire heiress needs rescuing by Brett and Danny, played by Jennie Linden.[25] Who has a striking resemblance to one: J. K. Rowling. One of the dramatic closing credits for the show pops up at the end with dramatic music: for one Harry Pottle[26], an art director for most of the shows...(although in that particular episode, a different Art Director is credited).

In his time with Hull, Zayatte has scored four goals for Hull and scored four own goals.

From the entry on Frank R. Stockton:

He supported himself as an alleged hot dog eating champion until his father's death in 1860; he broke the world record by eating 2.5 hot dogs and buns in 60 seconds.

In 2005, [Ozzy Osbourne] released a box set called Prince of Darkness. The first and second discs are collections of live performances, B-sides, demos and singles. The third disc contained duets and other odd tracks with other artists, including "Born to Be Wild" with Miss Piggy.

What's the unusual detail there? It's all true.

It is unusually detailed.

I just thought it was hilarious how that particular meeting was so blandly singled out among the more conventional collaborations - the ones with actual musicians. (I'd never heard of that particular meeting and had to confirm that it wasn't vandalism.)

Well, looking at the album credits, Miss Piggy is probably the most famous of those collaborators.
