I'm surprised The Birth of a Nation didn't make it on the list. It's probably one of the most controversial films ever.

An even more bizarre animal is Dendrogaster, a starfish parasite. Believe it or not, but it's a crustacean. It grows inside a starfish's body cavity until filling it completely, which explains the strange shape of the parasite. h

There is also the question of where to put Placozoa, they still might be the true sister group to all others. But these are so simple and little known that there might just not be enough data to know for sure. If we disregard Placozoa, I wo

This was also my understanding. I think he became some kind of leader in the Monero community at some point, but he isn't the founder. I think Monero was originally forked from some other project (Bytecoin?).

There is a lot of innocent or even bland things on this list. Chikwanga is #44 on the list. This is just a cassava flour cake, it's a staple food meant to be eaten along with something else, it being bland is kind of the point. Of cour

Offal-based dishes seem to be frequent on this list. Could it be some US or Anglo-Saxon prejudice against offal? Tongue, liver, tripe, etc are common in many regional European cuisines (not to mention Asian ones).

This is one of my favorite films, maybe my favorite sci-fi film. The "steampunk" way in which future technology is depicted is one of the reason Brazil aged so well IMO. I would actually consider it to be a free adaption of Orwell

Silent Running (1972) is another one in the "man against nature" theme, and has no supernatural element. This movie is kind of a classic but tends to be forgotten, maybe because it's quite old.
