I suppose it's not that rare, but the circumstances of the drop made it most amusing for me.
I had recently learnt that a guildie had been farming strat for Baron's mount. He'd been doing it for several months and one day i asked him to show me how to dodge the mobs the things like that. Anyway, once i got the hang of it, I began to do my own solo runs and i ended up landing the mount on the 17th run!
My poor friend ended up getting his on his 148th run.

The only time ever bothered to to RFD, all blood-elves, 4 pallys and me, a priest.
Actually 4 pallys in a 5-man probably isn't that rare :p

The problem with this thread....You can't call much "statistically" rare when it's based on something using a RNG to determine drops and such....That and any claim of "zomg 3 100s nowai!" are completely moot when each roll is independantly rolled off of a seperate RNG seed. There is nothing statistically rare about that result. It's just you got that random off group that happened to hit the seed at 100 three times. No number is rolled in relation to the next, unless you happen to find someone that has managed to make a program that parses quick enough to catch someone elses RNG seed. It's still pretty fun just to be that odd person that sees such an event as catching the 3 people that get that 100 on their seeds.
Even so, the odds of 3 RNGs all rolling 100 are 1/100 * 1/100 * 1/100 = 1/1million

I hate you so, so much.
Nothing aggravates me more than seeing someone in Dalaran with the mount, check the statistic, they've only ran it like, 10 times.
50+ run and still nothing.
*goes to cry in a corner*
But at least I'm exalted with Argent Dawn now.

I got my sea turtle mount with less than 250 total fishing, in 9 casts.
I wasn't even trying to get the mount, I just got bored of fishing inside Dalaran so I decided I'd make some money off fish >_>

For me, getting Baron's Mount on my 4th try, and the icing on the cake so far for me is getting the ZG raptor in under 25 attempts. Not really sure how many, but I know it wasn't that much.
Also, something WoW related worth noting. My security code on Wowhead one time was "zzpwn." pwned
