In 2003, a pensioner from Southend in England found an old 1.2 meter long object in his garden and immediately called the museum when he thought it was a tusk from an elephant.
The Southend Museum thought it was a 20,000-year-old tusk from a mammoth and had planned to exhibit it, but when they wanted to dig it up carefully, it turned out to be a 19th-century water pipe in white clay instead.

Could have been posted it in our This Day in History. Because on this day 26 of July the Erfurt latrine disaster of 1184 happened.
It's more useless facts that's why I put it here

Quote:

The Erfurt latrine disaster of 1184 offers a bizarre mix of tragedy and comedy. The somewhat muddy historical account tells the tale of a meeting of nobles gone awry after they drowned in excrement inside a church in modern-day Germany.
