This is the thread for unusual details in wikipedia articles.

From Ohio Governor John Kasich's page:

Kasich has been undecided on the potential placement of slot machines at racetracks, although he claims to be considering the revenue option. He will be the first Governor to actually oversee operating casinos in Ohio. Kasich has in the past taken a historically Republican approach to gambling, that is cautious about (he is nuts) social impacts. Some have stated that one of Kasich's earliest Executive Orders may allow video lottery terminals at racetracks. [39]

While still competing on DWTS, Palin appeared in a music video for an Alaskan symphony rock band, Static Cycle. The video was shot at the Ice Museum in Chena, Alaska, with Palin dressed in a fur hat and coat and played a mother-nature-type role of melting the ice.[69][70]

* Slave To The Rhythm: The Artist Formerly Known As Prince (1997) ISBN 0-316-64041-7

This is a pretty good biography, btw - especially if you're interested in Prince as a person, and not just a musician. Haven't read anything else by Jones, so I don't know what she's done to merit the above Wiki vandalism.

The engrossed copy of the Declaration is central to the 2004 Hollywood film National Treasure, in which the main character steals the document because he believes it has secret clues to a treasure hidden by some of the Founding Fathers of the United States. The Declaration figures prominently in The Probability Broach, wherein the point of divergence rests in the addition of a single word to the document, causing it to state that governments "derive their just power from the unanimous consent of the governed". The Declaration also plays a major part in Honour Among Thieves, a novel by Jeffrey Archer where Saddam Hussein tries to steal the Declaration and publicly burn it on July 4.

Both his and Scooby's cowardice (as well as their appetites) have become so ingrained in their characters that they are often portrayed as being expert cowards. Both Shaggy and Scooby are adept runners, have become skilled contortionists due to learning to hide in small places, experts at building barricades from various kinds of furniture and other household objects (even designing one to be collapsible just in case they need to use the barricaded door/entrance as an escape route from the monster/villain). They are also experts in what is scary (both Shaggy and Scooby have been shown to use each other's fears in their competitions in stealing one another's food) due to their being craven cowards (In the episode "Camp Comeoniwannascareya" they use this knowledge to help a fellow camp counselor and the campers scare off the camp's greedy owner who wishes to turn the summer camp into a resort for only adults)

At the age of six, Uris reportedly wrote an operetta inspired by the death of his dog

The Esperanza Spalding vs Justin Bieber edit reminds me of when I trolled the All About Steve page before the movie was released. I left funny descriptions of the characters as a commentary of how the main stars of the film are repeatedly typecast in the same roles.
Wikipedia wasn't happy with me and I couldn't edit for a while. I really wish I would have screencapped the page while it was up.

When the Shamen appeared on Top of the Pops, it was expected that Mr C should tone down the song due to its being broadcast. The group replaced the final lyrics: "Got any Salmon?" - with "Has anyone got any underlay?" The BBC were furious, and dragged Mr C into a room off-camera, to explain himself, only to be told that it was simply a gratuitous rug reference.[3]

please let that be true

In Italian, Wimpy is known as "Poldo Sbaffini"; his surname is a reference to his scrounging habits. The Italian name was also adopted in the Greek editions as Πόλντο. In Spanish, Wimpy is "Pilón", Spanish for "pestle", which may refer to the character's body shape. In Sweden Wimpy is called Frasse and, unlike in the American version where he eats hamburgers, he instead eats parisare, a similar Swedish dish.

The group themselves have said that their genre is "Narcotic Gay Metal" which would make them pioneers of this, otherwise very thin, genre.

This is the worst opening sentence I've ever found on wikipedia. I mean... what the hell does it mean?

The term Veld (often anachronistically spelt Veldt by people who rely on old books printed before the 1920s, when Afrikaans was not officially recognised as a language, and Dutch orthography was still in use; Afrikaans pronunciation: [fɛlt]) refers primarily (but not exclusively) to the wide open rural spaces of South Africa or southern Africa and in particular to certain flatter areas or districts covered in grass or low scrub.

someone has an axe to grind

It seems clear enough to me.

oh my god that article is a glimpse into the heart of madness

Afrikaans speakers are the most defensive people on the planet imo.

Also the whole concept of what constitutes 'veld' is so vague yet simultaneously rigid that I just gave up after a while. All you can really rely on is those road signs that say something like 'Welcome to Hoedspruit, heart of the lowveld' or whatever. Fucken nonsense.
