Earthbending Was Never a Human Invention
In-universe, humans didn't invent earthbending at all. The show's mythology credits the blind badger moles as the original earthbenders, with the two lovers who founded Omashu learning the art by watching the moles dig their tunnels.
Scarecrow's Mask Turns Up in a Hay Pile
Glide over to one of the tall floating docks out on the water and you'll spot a big pile of hay sitting on top.

The Glitch That Became History
The Falador Massacre is one of the most infamous bugs in MMO history. A player called Durial321 found a way to keep attacking people outside PvP zones after being kicked from a house party, and went on a rampage across Falador killing dozens of unarmed players before mods caught up and banned him. Jagex leaned into it years later, actually writing the event into the game's official lore.
Samuel L. Jackson Signed a Nine-Film Deal
