Lobsters. Or, rather, the eating of them. Who was the first person to look at one of these giant, slimy, insect-looking creatures and say, "Yummy?" What a freakazoid.

The trend of some 20 somethings wearing fedoras. And in a really random sort of way. I don't get it. It's a really goofy look. I wish someone in their 20's would explain how this is cool- or is it? 
Now backin the old days, heh, guys into ska revival/mod wore hats, and yeah, it was kinda goofy, but they did have some retro style to it and were nattily turned out.

Agreed!
"Hey look, it can rip your tongue off! ...let's eat it!"

I love Fedoras. I plan on owning a couple. Then I want a leather bomber jacket, and maybe a nice suit.

Fedoras are just cool hats, I think that's all there is to it. Personally, I want one just so I can be a tiny bit closer to being as cool as Humphry Bogart.
So, Indian people do all randomly break out into coordinated song and dance numbers. I knew it!

Lobsters are nothing - at least that's actual fish meat on the inside, who on earth first tried eating oysters, and raw too?

Religion. Blows my mind. To use an example, there is a religion that has its members practice symbolic cannibalism in the belief that the powers of one of its demi-gods will transfer to those who partake. It offers directly contradictory messages and claims that both are the Ultimate Truth. It demands that certain members of the faith refrain from specific biological functions and then demands that the rest of its members do nothing to restrict those same functions. It opposes homosexuality but demands that its highest officials be kissed as a form of homage, irrelevant of the gender of the kisser. It requires periodic revelations of its members darkest secrets, yet obscures its institutional activities in secrecy. I'm telling you-the contradictions are amazing. What's weird is that otherwise rational people follow these dictates and see nothing inherently strange or questionable about them.

I think the question is even more relevant now. Who found beans covered in poop and decided to eat them?!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopi_Luwakwho the hell figured out how to make coffee, and after tasting it, decided to make it again?
I shouldn't have laughed at that - but I did

That one doesn't bug me as much as the old question I remember asking in school... who figured out how to milk cows, and what exactly did he think he was doing when he figured it out?
I want to know what was running through the mind of the caveman who decided to suck a cow's nipple? Continously? And get his descendants to do the same thing? It's even wierder, since I think all humans were originally lactose intolerant, and had to be 'trained' to accept cow's milk....
You know, they used to taste it too...
The fact that when you look at the sky, you are looking at what is basically nothingness that goes on forever and it never comes up in conversation.
Probably because we have no way to actually comprehend it, so we just don't try.
Poptarts strike me as weird. Not the pastries themselves. The packaging. On the box, it says that 1 pop tart is a serving. Yet, they do not come in a resealable packet to preserve the freshness of the tart you didn't eat. Not that I've known anyone to eat only one poptart...
Then there's hot dogs. They come in packs of 10 (normally), but most rolls come in packs of eight. Why? And bun-length hot dogs? Why are they necessary? One could reason that since the buns and dogs were designed to go together, they should at least be able to accommodate eachother size wise. You'd figure that after around a century of hotdogs...someone would have solved this by now.

smoking. who the fuck thought it was a good idea to shred a load of leaves, stick it in a piece of paper, light it on fire and then inhale the crap that comes out?
