What prompted me looking it up again was seeing the Red Letter Media wiki page referring to Rich Evans as a "best boy" which I thought it a pretty apt description.

In February 2007 it was confirmed that author J. K. Rowling finished the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows at this hotel. Rowling left a signed statement written on a marble bust of Hermes in her room saying; "JK Rowling finished writing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in this room (552) on 11th Jan 2007".[9] The room has since been renamed the "J.K. Rowling Suite," and the marble bust has been placed in a glass display case to protect it. The suite, priced at nearly £1,000 per night, is a pilgrimage site for Harry Potter fans.[10]

Le Pétomane was a French flatulist (professional farter) and entertainer. He was famous for his remarkable control of the abdominal muscles, which enabled him to seemingly fart at will.[2] His stage name combines the French verb péter, "to fart" with the -mane, "-maniac" suffix, which translates to "fartomaniac". The profession is referred to as "flatulist", "farteur", or "fartiste".[3]

Despite his good fortune, his relationship with his family suffered. He frequently told visitors that his wife (who was actually alive) had died, and that the woman frequenting the building was simply her ghost.[2]

This isn't even close to the best detail about this guys life.

"At the end of the American Revolutionary War, he purchased large amounts of depreciated Continental currency that was worthless at the time.[4] At the war's end, the U.S. government made good on its notes at one percent of face value, while Massachusetts paid its own notes at par.[4] His investment enabled him to amass a considerable profit."

"Eventually however, the Malden local government would bestow upon Dexter the position of the official informer of deer, despite the fact that, at the time, there were not any deer in Malden."

"Because he was largely uneducated, his business sense was considered peculiar. He was advised to send bed warmers—used to heat beds in the cold New England winters—for resale in the West Indies, a tropical area. This advice was a deliberate ploy by rivals to bankrupt him. His ship's captain sold them as ladles to the local molasses industry and made a handsome profit.[5] Next, Dexter sent wool mittens to the same place, where Asian merchants bought them for export to Siberia.[2]

People jokingly told him to "ship coal to Newcastle". Fortuitously, he did so during a Newcastle miners' strike, and his cargo was sold at a premium.[6][7] On another occasion, practical jokers told him he could make money by shipping gloves to the South Sea Islands. His ships arrived there in time to sell the gloves to Portuguese boats on their way to China.[6]

He exported Bibles to the East Indies and stray cats to Caribbean islands and again made a profit; Eastern missionaries were in need of the Bibles and the Caribbean welcomed a solution to rat infestation.[2] He also hoarded whalebones by mistake, but ended up selling them profitably as corset stays."

"At age 50, Dexter authored the book A Pickle for the Knowing Ones,[a] in which he complained about politicians, the clergy, and his wife. The book contains 8,847 words and 33,864 letters, but without any punctuation and with unorthodox spelling and capitalization."

"In the second edition, Dexter responded to complaints about the book's lack of punctuation by adding an extra page of 11 lines of punctuation marks with the instruction that printers and readers could insert them wherever needed—or, in his words, "thay may peper and solt it as they plese".

When he was a child, his mother bought him a film projector[1] and one day he drew stick figures on a piece of scotch tape. He ran the tape through the projector and just before the tape burned up inside of the projector, he saw the animated figure dance on the wall and that's when he knew he wanted to make films.[citation needed]

This is a pretty good featured article. A collection of old-timey erotica compiled by the British library for more than a century, then released for public viewing in 1964. The librarians were probably keeping it all to themselves all that time for "personal use".

Also has this choice excerpt:

"There is dispute on whether the Bibliotheca Apostolica Vaticana also holds an extensive pornography or erotica collection.[84] Although the figures of 25,000 volumes and 100,000 prints and drawings have been put forward,[85][86][87] Legman describes this as a "legend"[88] and the historian H. Paul Jeffers calls it "a persistent and false belief".[84]"

quote:

"Spiders Georg" was first posted about in 2013 by Max Lavergne;[3] it is based on the misconception that humans swallow some number of spiders a year inadvertently. While not true,[4] the factoid has become an urban legend.[5] "Spiders Georg" satirizes the factoid by offering its own explanation for the statistic, creating a fictional character who skews the average by eating tens of thousands daily.[3][5] In statistics, an outlier is a data point that is very different from the other observations and therefore changes the average (mean) noticeably. The number of spiders eaten by Spiders Georg is an outlier in this sense.
