How'd I get here?

The first question in an FAQ.txt, inside a zip file:
How do I unzip the file?
Files on our server are zipped using pkzip. If you have version
204G or later you will be able to unzip any file, while previous
versions may not unzip all files from our server. You can
obtain pkzip in the PC/Telnet/msdos/misc directory of our
server.
They probably just copied it from their webpage and left it there...

Similar to a .txt with installation instructions that only appears after you install it.
"To get our phone number, you may call us."

I like it when they setup treasure chests with the key inside.

Something along the same lines that I've seen quite often is a subject in the help contents for the help button.

Funny... but the original post is no WTF at all. Normally, a FAQ file
is designed so it doesn't matter where you got it from. Maybe it was on
the project's website. Maybe it was posted on a newsgroup or
FAQ-dedicated site. Or maybe it came with the program. It's still the
same file, with all the generic questions still in. After all, what if
you want to post it on a newsgroup?

No. I'd say that a faq about how to unzip a file within the very file
you're supposed to unzip is, in fact, a WTF. No cookie for you.

It seems I failed to make myself clear.
- The original FAQ file was probably on the website, or on some
newsgroup, in which case the instructions for unpacking were justified.
- When a copy of the file was included in the package, nobody had time
to remove the now irrelevant questions and answers. What's so strange
about it?
