"Never use Wikipedia," my college professors warned me back in the day. However, while it may not be the best source of information for doing academic research, Wikipedia is a treasure trove of interesting bits of knowledge. There are about 7,093,228 articles in the internet's encyclopedia, and some of them are straight-up comedy gold.
For example, did you know that Scooby-Doo's real name is Scoobert Doo? Or what the heck "smirting" is? We've found the times people goofed around and put the funniest pictures to accompany Wikipedia articles or created new ones for things like "fart lighting." Nothing goes better together than serious descriptions of nonsensical things and the goofy pictures that accompany them.

Do you want to know the most mind blowing part of this? If that commercial was made anywhere else but Japan, the cake would not be edible because it would not look good enough for long enough. It would be made of glue and rubber or whatever. But in Japan, that would not do. You make it for real and make sure people understand that it was not wasted.

my Mum was on The Big Breakfast in the nineties (for non brits, it was a weekday morning live TV show, but more of an entertainment angle than a newsy angle than some of the others. had lots of silly games, bands, and things like that) in pretty much every shot, there were cakes and pastries everywhere (and they were real, too) any time they finished filming a segment in an area that wasn't going to be used again that day, as soon as they called cut, the crew would descend on them like vultures. and then after the show, everyone. presenters, guests and crew all got a fry up in the canteen. you could potentially get very fat working for that show

Friend of mine holds the unofficial motorbike record from John o'Groats to Lands End, the longest North to South route in the UK. He covered 884 miles in 11 hours, 14 minutes, an average of 79 mph, including fuel stops. That was before speed cameras and has never been repeated, also not an officially-endorsed record as it was clearly breaking the speed limits by, err, quite a lot.

If you want to really go down an internet rabbit hole, look into the 1904 Olympics as a whole. It is a wild ride. From how the US blackmailed the IOC in the first place, to holding it alongside something called the Savage Olympics (which, yes, was as horrifically racist as it sounds). The marathon was the peak of the absurdity, also not helped by the fact that for some ungodly reason the organisers decided the runners shouldn’t be allowed to drink any water throughout, because they thought it would be a good opportunity to test what that would do to a human body

Sad because of humans not giving a s**t and discarding beer bottles wherever the Jewel beetles are in decline as the males are not mating with actual female beetle

It's funny that you used the Japanese word "Kanji". So you already kinda guessed the language where it originated correctly, just that this isn't a kanji (a character that was taken from the Chinese language and is now used in Japanese) but it's in fact the katakana letter "tu".

Oh hey I remember this story. Basically scientists are concerned that in a few thousand years any future civilization might find our stash of nuclear waste and that we need to make sure that those future people do not go near or tamper with it. Some thought of using hostile architecture or using warnings but then these things might instead attract reckless adventurers. The cat idea was to genetically engineer cats so that they glow in the presence of radiation and to spread a legend that cats glow in radiation amongst our descendants so that once they come across the waste they’ll know to avoid it

As it stings its prey, it releases a toxin into the victim's neural nodes. This toxin blocks the cockroach's octopamine receptors, leaving the cockroach alive, but docile and with impaired motility. By prodding with its antennae, the predator then escorts its victim into the wasp's nest, where it can be dispatched more easily." (from Wikipedia)

IDK what it meant either, but google helped. From google: "It's the minimum number of people whose sudden absence would cause the project to stall or fail due to a loss of knowledge and skills. A low bus factor indicates a high risk, meaning the project is heavily dependent on a few people, while a high bus factor means knowledge is more evenly distributed and the project is more resilient. " Basically, you know those group projects that teachers make everyone do in school, and there's usually only one student per group who does the work? That's a low bus factor. If all the team is actually doing the work, then that's a high bus factor.
