What boggled your mind today?
Mine was the Wikipedia article on The Woodlands, Texas

The Woodlands is a hoity-toity master-planned city near Houston. The boggling was due to this aspect of the article: while many Wikipedia articles have versions in scads of other languages, this one had just four. But which four? Take a wild guess. Give up? They are (in reverse order): Volapük, Portuguese, Dutch, and Haitian Creole.
