This is the thread for unusual details in wikipedia articles.

"According to tradition, watermelons or any kind of pumpkin kept more than ten days or after Christmas will become a vampire, rolling around on the ground and growling to pester the living. People have little fear of the vampire pumpkins and melons because of the creatures' lack of teeth."

In February 2010, Harley, a self-confessed technophobe, attributed poor literacy rates and the moral corrosion of British society to modern technology.[5] He also criticised his Wikipedia page as being filled with inaccuracies.[5]

From the Purple Drank article:

On July 8, 2008, Johnny Jolly, a Green Bay Packers player, was pulled over in his car for excessive music.

"Sir, please stick to just one album per day!"

This is from IMDB, but has a similar vive: under the trivia for 'Bikini Girls on Ice', we're told: "The film is based on one of the director's friends who once told him about a dream he had about putting girls on ice."

how come ilxor doesn't have it's own wikipedia page? i'd think this site is big enough.

Also, users Whiney Weingarten and deej have become infamous for their "internet beef" on the site, although it seems to be good-natured and slightly homoerotic.

In Atlanta there are over one hundred active gangs in Georgia, but the most known gangs and the top most feared gangs are these gangs right here; 18thStreet, Black Gangster Disciples, Bloods, Crips, Brown Side Locos, Gangster Disciples, La Gran Familia, Latin Kings, La Raza, Los Zetas, Maltido’s 13, Mara Salvatrucha, Nortenos, Skinheads, Five Percenters, and the Aryan Brotherhood. Within in the major gangs such as the Bloods, Crips, and MS-13 there are many different “sets”.[3] Most of these gangs are from Atlanta, but there are many gangs that are found all over Georgia. Some of the gangs that I mentioned are not just Georgia gangs, but they are nation wide, for example the Bloods and the Crips were founded in California and have spread all across the United States and now they are the two largest and most well known gangs across the United States.[4] Organized gangs are not just found in the streets, but they are found in Jail too. The major gangs that are known in Prison are these; Crips, Bloods, Black Gangster Disciples, Skinheads, Aryan Brotherhood, Five Percenters, and the MS-13.

from the page about Macaulay Culkin:

From John Badham's entry:

Badham had worked for television for years before his breakthrough in 1977 with Saturday Night Fever. Starring John Travolta and Fran Drescher, the film is recognized as the most representational of the 1970s disco era.

Really?

Hugh Grant

Grant dabbled in a variety of jobs: he wrote book reviews,[36] worked as assistant groundsman at Fulham Football Club

Badham had worked for television for years before his breakthrough in 1977 with Saturday Night Fever. Starring John Travolta and Fran Drescher, the film is recognized as the most representational of the 1970s disco era.

Really?

I guess it kinda makes sense, as Fran Drescher is (besides Travolta) pretty much the only actor in SNF who's still well known today.

Yeah, see, "starring" doesn't involve determining who might be famous X number of years down the road. If someone is in a movie for all of 30 seconds, "starring" doesn't enter into the discussion.

when I think SNF, I don't think Fran Drescher, at all

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trevor_Horn

During the 1980s, Trevor Horn wore large nerd style glasses, which were then in fashion, when he performed. He stopped wearing such glasses in the 1990s, but still wears hard-framed glasses whenever he performs. One of his jokes, beyond wearing the large glasses, was that he was "a camera," consistent with his hits, "Video Killed the Radio Star" and "I Am A Camera".

The album was even better than his previous album Brainstorm , had two classic club bangers, the title track 'Whats the flavor' and 'We can do this', and further cemented Young MC as a hit maker.

his grandson Tommy Fraser is a professional footballer,[2] currently captain of League Two side Port Vale. According to legend, when he was at Brighton, Tommy was asked by a local reporter if his grandfather ever came to watch him play. "No," came the reply. "But he reads your reports and he was unhappy you only gave me six out of 10 last week." Tommy never got less than seven again.
