True story

Read on the internet

You have to see the issue there. The first one that definitely happened that comes to mind is the great molasses flood. It's not actually a funny thing and a lot of people died, but it sure is a funny concept.

The Hawaiians adding the Union Jack to their flag for no reason because they liked the design is also pretty top-tier.
