- In the early 1900s, the US government installed telephones at the top of trees.[2] (Ptaszynski)
- There is a worm which can grow multiple bottoms which it then fires off to have sex without it.[3] (Murray)
- Comedian Lenny Bruce was arrested so often during his sets that he would go on stage wearing his coat just so he was ready to leave with the police immediately.[4] (Schreiber)
