I've often heard the joke many a time of "X was a prank by the ancestors to confuse future generations"

Sorry, but our rules prohibit "throughout history" and "in your era" type questions, and so I have removed your question.

You may re-write the question to be more specific, and re-submit it. Alternatively, you may contact /u/caffarelli to make this part of a future Tuesday Trivia thread. Or you could post it on the Friday Free-for-all thread.
