Despite the successful management of diseases causing spinal deformity, many patients suffered from scoliosis with no known cause. The unknown cause was eventually determined to be idiopathic scoliosis.

look up the definition of "idiopathic" and "scoliosis"

American raisins, once seized, were sent to various warehouses across California, to be stored until sold to foreign nations, fed to cattle or schoolchildren, or disposed of in any other way to get them off the market that year.[2]

i like this page just in general. it's about a huge aircraft cannon the soviets built that is comparable to the GAU-8 on the A-10 warthog

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gryazev-Shipunov_GSh-6-30

broke: designing a whole new airplane around your enormous cannon, offsetting the gun and landing gear so that the recoil forces are always in line with the plane's thrust axis, mounting it on hydraulic shock absorbers that allow it to hit within a 20-foot circle at 4,000 feet when fired from a moving airplane

woke: building the same gun but just bolting it on whatever plane you have available, resulting in offset firing loads and recoil forces so high that the plane's control surfaces jam, the reflector sight shatters, the instrument panel detaches from the cockpit and the explosive canopy jettison mechanism goes off

A popular example of the early days of monster truck racing is portrayed in the 1986 home video release Return of the Monster Trucks, which involves a truck pull, car crushing, and mud bogging all in the same course. That event, held in the Louisiana Superdome, was won by Bigfoot, as well as most of the events it was entered into in the mid-1980s.

Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States – The exact list of seven hills varies a bit, but every list includes Cathedral Hill, Capitol Hill, Dayton's Bluff, Crocus Hill (sometimes also called St. Clair), and Williams Hill—which is no longer a hill.[16]

Thinking that his car was missing, Abigail was standing around, crying and making various bad impressions of car sounds. He is encountered by Ibuki, Zangief, Juri and Vega who were puzzled and insulted by his behavior. This was specifically due to his habit of making really bad impersonations of car noises (in the cases of Ibuki and Vega as he was making the sound of a fart and a pig respectively), saying he felt "flat" which insulted Juri by making her think he was talking about her bust size and crying/booing Zangief.

Practical jokes
The developers and community behind Gentoo have performed many practical jokes, a number of them on or around April Fools' Day. This kind of practical trickery and playfulness has been a tenet of Gentoo since its creation.

Wiki
On July 28, 2017 the Gentoo wiki had a satirical news announcement entitled 'Word crimes'. Embedded in the announcement was a link to the Weird Al video under the same name.
Website
On April 1st, 2015 the Gentoo Linux team, namely Alex Legler and Robin H. Johnson and a few other associates, announced the launch of a "totally revamped and more inclusive website which was built to conform to the CGA Web™ graphics standards [...] with a 16-colour palette and an optimal screen resolution of 640 x 200 pixels". The joke website was displayed with the appearance of a CGA (16-colour) palette. According to the release announcement the new site was available via the Gopher protocol at gopher://gopher.gentoo.org/.[70]
Live DVD
To salute the 2012 phenomenon, on December 21st, 2012 Gentoo released an End Of World Edition Live DVD.
Install wizard
On April 1st, 2012 an April Fools' joke named "Install Wizard" was "released" as part of the 12.1 Live DVD.
