Well, I was told there was a small shrine to Zeus that spoke of him as "He Who Drives Away Flies"
Oh, and for quite some time in Italy Joseph was labelled as the Patron Saint of Cuckolded Husbands (which really takes some chutzpah, if you ask me...).
I am of the school of thought that says "History is always stranger than fiction"

If you want god silliness in RPG's, you can't beat Arcana Unearthed's Faen race. They are so "in touch" with the divine, they invent gods on the fly. Past examples have been:
Whupra - god of athames
Korkor - god of drinking steins
Chevron - god of faen mage blades who kick butt
Yaaah - goddess of the long sprint from danger
Terrak - god of lost causes and foolish quests
Checking the real world, I just stumbled across
www.godchecker.com
and the oddest one so far is Min, goddess of Lettuce and Sex.
I hope that site is true, because there are some truly unusual deities in various pantheons...

One of my players once tried to play a Cleric of Clorox, god of cleanliness. this was back in AD&D, and I made Clorox a demi-god and limited spell choices. The player either had to convert the world, or stay weak in his ability to cast spells. This lead to some interesting role-playing when dirty dungeons were entered. Mind you, this player was creative.

Takes a look at god-checker:
*ahem*
YARA-MA-YHA-WHO: Very nasty little vampire. He looks like a small red man with an enormous head, but has no teeth and octopus-like suckers for fingers. If you ever sit beneath an Australian fig tree, be very careful. YARA-MA-YHA-WHO is likely to jump on top of you and suck all your blood out. And then eat you.
Strangely enough, as soon as his food has gone down, he vomits it back up again. His victims are thus miraculously reborn, albeit slightly shorter.
Should he happen to catch the same person repeatedly, the unfortunate regurgitatee will get smaller and redder each time, eventually becoming a YARA-MA-YHA-WHO themselves.
Not necessarily a GOD, persay, but still funny.
On the topic of Faen gods, Henry, I recall quite a few funny ones from a short-lived Au campaign:
Messava - Goddess of Carpet Stains
Atlia - God of Pork Chop Sandwiches
Nweehaaa - God of swinging over wide chasms on vines
Mattage - Goddess of Sukling Around All Depressing-Like
Theagadabangbang - God of Faen-Turned-Mojh with Hemophelia

The WFRPG module Something Rotten in Kislev featured a god of aetheism, complete with a shrine.
As to the silliest historical god one classical roman poem referred to a god of flatulence!
As to homemade gods I recently ran a game which featured the PC's travelling through the realms of the gods with dozens of small gods providing commedic relief. The god the players remembered and hated the most was the Goddess of Nagging.

Look at this thread on Monte's boards.
The longest list of silly faen gods I've seen. I've even comitted some.
Hey, Henry; you are Black Moria ?

I love the faen religion. That's the coolest concept in religion I've seen in print in a long time.
