Sorry, boredom is carrying me away... Share the weirdest/coolest things and facts you know!
UVB-76
There's a radio station (4625 KHZ) that transmits the same buzz, costantly and non-stop since late 70's. In its history only few times the buzz halted because of vocal messages. No one still knows what its purpose is. You can listen to it live here. You may also happen to listen to some environment sounds, because the buzz is apparently produced by some kind of mechanical device near the microphone.
The Max Headroom incident
In 1987 two TV networks have been hijacked in the same day by a pirate that is still unknown nowadays. In the first hijacking, that lasted few seconds, he showed himself wearing a Max Headroom mask, while in the second/last one, that lasted about 90 seconds, he told some pointless things and then he got spanked by another person. You can find the vids on youtube.
The Taos hum
In Taos, and few other places in the world, about 2% - 11% people hear a hum that apparently comes from nowhere. Its origin is still unknown, but it exists, and led some people even to suicide for the strong stress it caused.
The giant ice-cream cup
In 1988, in Edmonton, Canada, a giant cup of ice-cream weighing up to 25 tons was made.
Weird coincidence
I don't remember where, but someone had to kill another guy, by shooting at him. When the killer shot, he thought to have succesfully hit the victim, while the bullet just dodged him. Thinking of being a killer, the guy suicided, while the bullet stuck in a tree trunk. Few years later, the 'victim' had to get rid of that tree, and used dynamite. When it exploded, the stuck bullet totally hit him in the head. I lol'd when I read this.
Egg in egg
A Malese woman, I think her name was Norhayati Ahmad, found another egg inside an egg she opened.
Intestines
If our intestines were totally opened, they would be as big as a tennis pitch.
Zombie mantis
There's a species of mantis that can control roaches minds, making them true zombies.
I'll add other things later when I'll remember.
