Some examples:
- During the 1930s, following World War I, many Australian veterans had turned to farming to make a living. However, a significant portion of farmland was suffering from drought and had become infested with emus. These emus were damaging crops and wreaking havoc on the farmers' livelihoods. In response to the emu problem, the Western Australian government deployed soldiers armed with machine guns to assist the farmers in controlling the emu population. Led by Major G.P.W. Meredith, the military embarked on an "emu cull" campaign. The soldiers quickly discovered that dealing with the emus was not as straightforward as anticipated. The emus, with their agility and speed, proved to be difficult targets. Moreover, the machine guns frequently jammed due to the rough conditions and the rapid movement of the birds. The first engagement between the military and the emus took place on November 2, 1932, near Campion, Western Australia. Despite the soldiers' efforts, the emus scattered in all directions, and only a few birds were killed. The second attempt, a few days later, resulted in a slightly higher number of emus killed, but overall, the emus proved to be elusive targets. As the "war" continued, the media caught wind of the ongoing struggle between the military and the emus, which led to a somewhat comical portrayal of the situation. The public found humor in the fact that professional soldiers were being outmaneuvered by a group of birds. In December 1932, after several weeks of unsuccessful operations, the Australian government decided to withdraw the military from the emu control efforts. The emus had effectively won the "war" as the soldiers' attempts had little impact on the emu population.
- In Reykjavik, there is a museum dedicated to the study and display of penises from various animal species. It was founded by Sigurđur Hjartarson in 1997. The museum's collection started with Sigurđur's interest in penises, which began when he received a bull's penis as a gag gift. Intrigued by the specimen, he started collecting more penises from different animals, eventually expanding his collection to include various mammals found in Iceland and around the world. The museum's exhibits include over 280 penises, making it one of the largest collections of its kind. Visitors can see penises from whales, seals, polar bears, walruses, and numerous other land and marine mammals. The collection also features folklore and historical artifacts related to phalluses. One of the museum's notable exhibits is the human penis specimen. Initially, Sigurđur faced challenges in obtaining a human specimen, but after many years, he received a donation from an Icelandic man who wanted to contribute to the museum's collection.
- In 2013, a man in Japan, known for being a compulsive hoarder, was crushed to death by a massive stack of pornographic magazines that collapsed on him.
