What is the weirdest piece of lore that you guys know? If you see something new here don’t repost it please.
For me it’s that Spartan-IV’s can eat trees and breath methane
Maybe the Forerunners’ fixation on hats? This peculiar interest and culture centred around headware.

I’ve heard this information and it doesn’t make sense. No amount of tinkering with lungs could make someone able to respirate methane, because human cells need oxygen. Methane is one carbon and 3 hydrogens, no matter how you break that down, there is nothing for a human cell to use. The only possibility would be that in a methane-rich environment, spartan IVs switch to fermentation to produce energy and use the methane as an electron acceptor, but because methane is stable, there would need to be some enZyme in the lungs to break it down so it could accept an electron. But this all seems very unlikely.
The fact that’s the unsc wasn’t able to find forward unto dawn, even with advanced technology. Even to day we can find dead ships by using radar

I also thought that it was pretty sus. Just ask baconshelf from halopedia. He’s the one who told me this.

We can’t even find a plane that went down in an ocean. I’m not sure why this one is surprising. Space is immensely more vast.

Radar works by scanning physical status. So since water is partially solid, it would block or at least scramble a search for a plane in the water. In space, nothing is there, it’s a literal vacuum, making no interference for a radar scan. But it would depend on how far the range goes.

In walks Nightfall and it scanning the galaxy. 
All jokes aside yea, space is vast. Also space is weird, with anomalies and the like, Forerunner stuff hiding stuff, and natural stuff doing its thing. Its totally believable that things will get lost.
There are voices in slipspace. Or something mimicking voices. If human engineers stand near a slipspace drive for to long they vanish.

I told you it was a thing, I never said it was sensible. The source for the methane thing is Initiation, Issue #2 (link) and the tree thing comes from New Blood, Chapter 14.

By ships I mean boats, but wouldn’t you think there would be some sort of tracking fail safe if a ship goes down in halo
