Until 1965 the FA Cup final was never played live and was recorded a week before it was played. The entire crowd were sworn to secrecy along with the players and officials so as to not ruin the broadcast for everyone else. 

 

This was only discovered when an Arsenal goalkeeper who was supposed to be playing was involved in a fight with a fan in a pub when the fan criticised him for not making a save as they watched on tv. 

 

From then on it was decided they should play and broadcast it live.

Apple had to delete one of their iPhone ringtones in Australia after discovering it was being mistaken for the mating call of the Galah bird. It was brought to their attention after a string of attack on iPhone users during the birds mating season.
