Since Wikipedia is "down" today (unless you're savvy enough to use it anyway), there's a thing going around Twitter where people are making up facts that can't currently be refuted by or checked against Wikipedia.
For instance,
"The first food item to be stored in tin cans was unicorn meat."
"Rebecca Black, Jacob Black and Sirius Black are relatives."
"Kansas is the only state admitted to the Union as a joke."
I thought for sure we could come up with some better ones!

Nikola Tesla & Martha Stewart met in prison July 7th, 1894 and got married shortly before her execution. Tesla, a worker contracted to repair a faulty electric chair was reported to have fallen in love instantly.
Martha quickly fashioned a length of green enameled wire into "his" and "hers" bands and they were promptly married within the first 5 minutes of a two hour and twenty minute airing.
Advertisements, execution teasers, multiple recaps and other non-sensical fillers were added to lengthen the production considerably.1
With no time for a proper honeymoon except during the commercial breaks, the priest who married the couple gave final rights just before her execution, which was thirty seconds before the end of the show.2
1. Thirty seven advertisements were aired during the show at a premium not even topped by the Super Bowl. The number is so large, the following equation must be used to represent it: $69217734
Notable advertisers/spots on this online broadcast: Microsoft (Twenty Seven repeats of a controversial animation: IE9 executes IE7, IE6 & IE5.) and Viagra (Six hundred and ninety six thousand 2 frame subliminal Viagra spots, which - when placed together show a man's progression of being prescribed and taking Viagra, then xrays of his experience. NSFW.)
2. This is all true, yo.

An equation is a mathematical statement that asserts the equality of two expressions. In modern notation, this is written by placing the expressions on either side of an equals sign.
Counterexample: $69217734 is not an equation.

Due to underfunding and lack of use, on January 18, 2012, Wikipedia.org was unable to renew it's hosting contract. The insolvent company was seized by Bank of America and auctioned off to the highest bidder. In a quick coup, the government of North Korea out bid other nations for the domain. The site now features some of the highest profile Bollywood films as well as up and coming rock groups such as "Tangle Frost Knot" and "Satan's Delight". Rumors of Politi-Burlesque plays are also said to be coming to the site in late 2012.
