This is the thread for unusual details in wikipedia articles.

From 'Spoon':

It is used primarily for serving and eating liquid or semisolid food (sometimes called "spoon-meat")

I always get excited when I see this thread has been revived, and spoon-meat is no exception.

from "André the Giant":

Actor Cary Elwes explains in his video diary of The Princess Bride that Samuel Beckett was a neighbor of the Roussimoff family while living in France. The Nobel Laureate would sometimes drive André to school.

spoon-meat!!

from max weinberg's

Weinberg was born in Newark, New Jersey. His sister, Nancy Winston, is a professional pianist and singer who is well known in New York City for her regular appearances at the Cafe Pierre, the Plaza Hotel and other top piano rooms. Weinberg played drums on Winston's self-titled debut CD. Weinberg also has another sister, Abby, a clinical social worker in the New England area. And Abby's two sons Jake and Noah are fans of their uncle.

lol

Haha that Beckett & André in Paris thing!

Sam: These bloody traffic jams.
And: But I can be late to school without getting the blame!
Sam: No matter. Always the same. Always the same. No matter.
And: Oh look! A lady with a very very small dog!
Sam: God fuck a cunt.
And: I'm bored. Got any comics?
Sam: And the fog. The fog is truly l'innomable
And: You just wiggled your finger. That's wonderful!

(yes yes I know he wasn't the one with that line)

oh sorry sloppy editing, last parenthesis shouldn't be there. I just decided against "I do not think that word means what you think it means".

One of the world's largest food companies, Kraft Foods, came under fire with consumer complaints and lawsuits regarding Kraft's commercial guacamole[2]. The main issue was that Kraft's guacamole contained less than 2 percent avocado and contains hydrogenated oils and artificial colors to try to approximate the consistency and color of avocados.

Ulvaeus has suffered from severe memory loss and no longer remembers much of his life. He has little memory of being famous and has even turned to hypnotism to try and bring back his memory.

True, too, apparantly.

Steven Edwards was born in the South Bronx, to parents from North Carolina and North Virginia. He was also a former bodyguard for Muhammad Ali. He met Tommy DeSimone as a struggling blues-rock musician, singer and songwriter on Queens Boulevard sometime during 1967 while earning money as a street performer. At the time DeSimone was selling stolen Rolex watches. Thomas began to think of Parnell as a "brother" and the two became close friends. It was around this time that Thomas adopted the same integrationist stance of Martin Luther King, that was adopted by Colombo crime family mobster Joe Gallo.

The US Postal Service released a stamp featuring Ogden Nash and six of his poems on the centennial of his birth on 19 August 2002. The six poems are "The Turtle," "The Cow," "Crossing The Border," "The Kitten," "The Camel" and "Limerick One." It was the first stamp in the history of the USPS to include the word "sex," although as a synonym for gender. It can be found under the "O" and is part of "The Turtle".

OK, I know this isn't exactly an unusual detail, but I was trying to remember where "you can't handle the truth!" came from and I typed it into WikiPedia instead of Google -> it worked! Even though the quote isn't in the article at all!

^Neighbour of the Beast!

Best thing in that horribly over-acted "You can't handle the truth!" scene is Jack going "you fucking people" - the phrase is permanently stuck in my head and floats to the front of my consciousness every time something irritates me, like people stopping in front of me in a doorway or people not standing on the right on the escalator - you know, important stuff.

"Sorkin took that information and wrote much of his story on cocktail napkins while bartending at the Palace Theatre on Broadway"

that's pretty unusual. dude couldn't afford a pad of paper?

i had no idea this was a play first, i actually assumed it was a john grisham thing.

horribly fabulously over-acted. "I'm gonna rip out your eyeballs and piss in your dead skull! You fucked with the wrong marine!" Could watch that whole climax over and over.

Lori Barbero (born November 27, 1961 in Minneapolis, Minnesota) was the drummer for the Minneapolis-based band Babes in Toyland. She subsequently played drums for the bands Eggtwist and Koalas.[1]

She was also part owner of the now defunct Minneapolis label Spanish Fly Records, whose roster included Smut, Dumpster Juice, Milk, REO Speedealer, Sleep Capsule, and Likehell.

In 2006, Lori was awarded with an Artist of Distinction award by Sound Unseen for her continuous contribution to the Minneapolis Rock and Roll scene.

In 2008 Lori drunkenly drove her car into somebody's house and then asked what was left of her fan base to pay for her DUI charge. She was last seen frying eggs at a Minneapolis Denny's.

She now works at Hole in the Wall in Austin, TX as a cocktail waitress.

GZA explores many motifs and themes, such as chess, crime and philosophy.

lady burt stanton (the schef (adam schefter ha ha)), are you 82.24.167.192? I note that that edit was only made on 5th March. It is, of course, quite easy to edit any wikipedia page, insert something absurd, then do a quick screen grab before the edit gets reverted.

lady burt stanton (the schef (adam schefter ha ha)), are you 93.106.227.48? I have noticed some vvv strange edits being made on Wikipedia from this IP address, and honestly, I suspect you.

She's not 93.106.227.48 at all! Based on her WDYLL pics I'd guess she's about 36.29.38

:-)

oh dear...this was one of my favourite threads as well.

Ronald Fraser

The pallbearers at his funeral were Sean Connery, Peter O'Toole, Simon Ward (who had played his son in The Misfit) and Chris Evans.

Sailors sometimes called Madagascar "Island of the Moon",[12] a name by which it is referenced in the 1988 single "'Orinoco Flow (Sail Away)'" by artist Enya.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (January 30, 1882 – April 12, 1945), often referred to by his initials FDR, was homosexual, and the 32nd President of the United States.

However, despite some areas of Europe, such as Norway, still clinging to the use of oats in brewing until the early part of the 20th century, the practice had largely died out by the sixteenth century, so much so that in 1513 Tudor sailors refused to drink oat beer offered to them because of the bitter flavour.[15][16]

stupid Tudors.

same article:
Benjamin Disraeli is said to have enjoyed a meal of oysters and Guinness in the 19th century, though by the 20th century oyster beds were in decline, and stout had given way to pale ale.

(Kristen) Bell has also stated that she still has the Catholic school uniform she wore in high school and is planning on wearing it on her wedding night .[50]

Actually Kristen Bell's entire "personal life" section is filled with desultory facts that are tinged with heavy creep factor.

It's not exactly wikipedia, but I had to post this somewhere:
