Recently I just published my first book, Imagination, which is a children's book.
Fortunately I didn't have to look up anything that sounded wierd to create this book, or nothing I can remember, but I'm pretty sure we've all had to look up something weird for writing research. My wierdest recently:
1980's Soviet Union Maternity Clothing.
I was trying to describe what the main character was wearing... and it happend to be the 1980's....and she is pregnant.
(Please support my debut book! Check it out here on Amazon!

That's a fun question! It's hard to pick just one, but here's a contender for "wierdest thing I had to look up" for writing research:
The mating habits of the anglerfish.
Let me tell you, it's... unique.
The Basics: In some deep-sea anglerfish species, the males are significantly smaller than the females.
The Bizarre Mating: The male actually bites into the female's body and fuses with her, becoming essentially a parasitic appendage that provides sperm.
Definitely not something you expect to encounter while researching a typical topic!
