How about the fact that MySQL accepts the following query as legal:

SELECT foo, bar, COUNT(*)
FROM baz
GROUP BY foo

And produces, naturally, an unexpected result instead of an error. Totally annoying, I don't know if it was ever fixed. It seems that MySQL's parser is generally weak at syntax validation in it's default configuration.

That one actually comes in handy ;) Especially in older versions (4.0) that don't support subselects..
