The Lone Gunmen was a spin-off of The X-Files. In the pilot, the heroes (who run a conspiracy theory magazine) uncover a secret plan by rogue agents of the U.S. government to remotely hijack a large passenger airliner, crash it into the World Trade Center, and blame it on terrorists in order to justify a new, profitable war. Notably, the episode was aired six months before the 9/11 attacks.

Satoru Nomura was the first Yakuza boss sentenced to death in Japan, and (partly) because of a penis enlargement surgery. While recovering from the procedure, he felt disrespected by one of the nurses. So he ordered an attack on her. However, the investigation into this attack led to charges added to several other serious crimes, including murder. He got the death penalty in 2021, later commuted to life in prison.

Johnny Cash was once nearly killed by an ostrich. Despite defending himself with a 6-foot long stick, Cash broke two ribs and was nearly disemboweled by the huge bird’s claw. Ostriches can reach 9 feet tall and weigh 320 pounds. They can be aggressive, and can easily kill a human (and have). The incident led to his addiction to painkillers and nearly ruined his life.
