I can only think of one, I killed a few super mutants and the last one I killed started flailing about, spinning more and more and floating a few metres into the air. It eventually became a bunch of long thin lines spinning about one point (maybe his limb stretching out from his torso). Later on when I was following Liberty Prime to the water purifier it was still there spinning about.
Fallout 3 seems to, er, fall apart the more I play it. I've since stopped, but back when I devoted twelve hours to it every day, I'd go down to the Anchorage War Memorial at midnight every once in awhile, as there was usually something happening. One time about eight Raiders were holding some kind of initiation, beating up other Raiders and screaming things like "No pain, no gain!" I watched them for a few minutes, but got bored and blew them all up with a grenade. Now that's not that odd, but another time I came around to one of these hazings and about ten seconds after I arrived, one of them threw her own grenade, hit her friend in the face, and gibbed the entire get-together. On several occasions I'd show up to a scorpion fighting a robot.
Every so often after I got near max level, the groups of roving mutants would have a Fat Boy or two, and they always thought it would be an awesome idea to attack the ground directly beneath them. I'd spot them, turn my back for a second to find cover, and all of a sudden the entire place would explode in a blaze of radiation. No experience for me
It kind of irked me that I could never kill the kids when I played my evil characters. If they at least went over to Lamplight that would be cool, but in Megaton, for example, Lucas' kid and whoever that other little girl was would be the only ones left, and they seemed perfectly content to live alone, around the corpses of their dead townspeople. Talk about a dystopia.
Near the end of my time with the game, a jarring percentage of ragdolls would either fly off into space or land on the ground, then start spasming around until the vertices displaced and they looked like stretched out taffy. These didn't ever go away, and by the time I got sick of Fallout 3, my DC was filled with quivering spaghetti monsters. They also constantly produced noise as they interacted with their own hitbox. The sound of slapping flesh and clanking metal around every other corner was probably one of the reasons I quit.
I'm sure everyone's seen a wooden board or other light object floating in water start vibrating, making loud splashing sounds for a minute or two, and then take off into the wild blue yonder like a rocket. Though I guess I was the only one to find a six-foot tricycle in the Red Rocket factory. Thing weighed a ton.

Well I know why there's an albino rad scorpion. I don't know why it's stretched ragdoll was merged with a rock.x434343 said:Add-on Broken Steel.Internet Kraken said:
No idea how this happened.

OT - Fallout 3 associated mindfucks...
The sewer outlet in north DC Ruins that's lined with plungers.
The Super-Mutant that acts like Fawkes which you can "rob", making him give you gifts because he doesn't want to be seen as a bad host.
Just after getting Bloody Mess, I killed a bunch of Talon Company mercs. I went into a metro station and then went out again 'cos I'd got the wrong one - the mercs were all standing, perfectly still... Because they were made up of all the parts that had been blown off them.
When I first played this game I was told to go to Megaton, but I couldn't find it. I had suspected that it was the wall of metal just to the right of the vault, and I was right, but for half an hour I couldn't find the door, and kept wandering off looking for the town. The marker just confused me more.
My girlfriend made a character and at level two with just a 10MM pistol ran into 2 giant radscorpions on the supermarket mission for Moira.
Hilariously enough bugs scare the shit out of her so her reaction for the first was,"OH FUCK!" then turning to see the second repeated her first line, fleeing into the supermarket everything was dandy till she left, the Radscorpions were gone but just then the alien blaster made its explosive performance... and landed ontop of the spermarket.
That girl has the worst luck.

one weird one that just happened to me; i was doing the 'Strictly business' quest, and i had just finished it by enslaving Red. i felt bad because i rather liked Red, so i killed all of the slavers and released the slaves. Suddenly, I heard gunshots, turned around as saw all of the people that i had enslaved killing the slaved that had been there in the first place. It was actually rather depressing.
Though this is pre-programmed (as was the mishap with the Brotherhood of Steel and the caravan at Megaton), it still freaked me out.
For those who haven't finished the quest for Mr.Crowley in the Underworld (It's called "Shoot Em In the Head"), this would be considered SPOILER TERRITORY.
Well, like many people have done, once getting the whole code (or were they keys?) for the big prize that Mr.Crowley is going after, I never returned to the grimy ol' bastard and stole the armor before he could even get there. Thought I'd never see him again, I was wrong.
A good few weeks later, I booted up Fallout and began playing, and being the big dork I am, I like to take off my armor and stuff like that when I go to sleep in Megaton in my house. When I woke up, there was Mr.Crowley, magnum in hand, with two Talon Mercs flanking his sides, each of them with Chinese Assault Rifles. He said some dialogue to me about stealing his lifework, yadda, yadda, yadda, and I was then lit up like a Christmas Tree.
SPOILER END
Even it if wasn't a glitch it rivaled along the lines of creepy, surprising, and epic-KillBill-tacular-tude. One of my most and least favorite moments on this game, at the same time. ^^
