Most WTF thing you know about

Well, the only thing I can currently think qualifies is when recently I was reading an interview about the Hamlet soliloque "to be or not to be"
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-11370834

and I decided to look up a performance of the famous speech.

I found THIS:

This definitely falls into the WTF catagory, the Governator as HAMLET.

Film Trailer Announcer: "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark!"

game dogs was given a second series. WTF?

The co-founder of the Escapist (Ross Pitts, I do believe) is behind Game Dogs. Expect it to be here for a long while.

Russ Pitts man. RUSS. Far cooler name than Ross, but still, how could he possible think that Game dogs is in any way good?

Whoah, whoah, whoah...
What's wrong with Ross? Sounds like a cool name to me...

I was in history class one day and the Prof. said the reason why Hiroshima was bombed was to intimidate the Russians.

Also Darth Vader is Luke's father? Man!

Not sure if the hiroshima thing is just sarcasm on your part but, that's half the reason hiroshima was bombed.

Poor anglerfish. There is actually a cute comic [http://theoatmeal.com/comics/angler] that some guy made to explain how horrible the life of a male anglerfish is.

And it's kind of hard to pick just one of the many disturbing things that I know about. I kind of research serial murderers for fun. Like there was this guy, Robert Hansen, who'd kidnap prostitutes and send them running naked in the woods so he could chase after them with a gun and 'hunt' them.

That comic was so amazingly funny and cute, est insanus.

I actually do that too. But then I realize what I'm doing and quickly get off wikipedia.

My favourite random fact is that statistically, those on the Eastern seaboard prefer smooth peanut butter, while those on the West Coast prefer crunchy. Not sure if it's true, I read it in a Douglas Coupland book and have never forgotten it.

That's from a movie, "The Last Action Hero". It's a huge parody of action movies

Margarine is not actually food. Rats will avoid it, meaning you leave it out they won't ever eat it. Also it has a chemical composition that very closely resembles plastic.
Forget where I heard that tho so I could be full of shit.
But I do know that McDonalds fries do not biodegrade. They just harden up like little fry-shaped rocks.

The margarine thing is true, the chemical composition is about a molecule off from being plastic. Ants, rats, and any other animal that would normally eat anything resembling butter...or food really, avoids the hell out of it. Also, it doesn't mold or biodegrade IIRC.

The worse bit of that is that there are people who will actually choose margarine over butter.

Oh, do enlighten this chemist: how can one compound be only one molecule away from another? Hm?
Yeah, that's bullshit. Margerine is fat, like butter. It cannot be "one molecule away from plastic," because plastic is a polymer (ie a single molecule). Education...get it at some point...
OT: I could go on endlessly about the quantum world, but I'll keep it to the most interesting bit. Have you heard that in QM, a particle can occupy two spaces at the same time? Well, that's bullshit. This comes from a very famous experiment by Tonomura, which demonstrated that electrons exhibit wave characteristics. The conclusion that the electron in question can be at two places simultaneously was erroneously derived by people who didn't understand the data.

Well that was...unwarranted. The margarine/plastic thing was something I've heard my entire life. If it was wrong, then I apologize, I never would have said anything if I had known that you'd offend so easily.

Anywho, back to OT.

At one point it was considered to be cruel and unusual punishment to serve American prisoners lobster. It was like the spam of the day, something that fishermen would accidently bring up in their nets and then hand off to local prisons where the inmates would have it fed to them almost daily. And now it's one of the most requested last meals for inmates on death row.
