You Won’t Believe These 5 People Existed. But They Did, And Their Stories Are Incredible.

These five people suffered from some of the most remarkable medical abnormalities ever recorded. Alive during the late 1800s and 1900s, they were all medical mysteries of their time. But inside they were just normal people wanting normal lives and to be given the chance to work and earn a living. 1. Ella Harper had a rare condition that meant her knees bent backwards. She was nicknamed the ‘Camel Girl’ because she preferred to walk around on all fours.   Ella, who was born in 1870, spent her early years as a circus performer, earning $200 a week, which was a lot of money at the time and would have opened […] http://goo.gl/N73luI

This Town’s Walmart Was Left Abandoned. What They Did To It Is Just Amazing

Walmart is everywhere — small towns, cities, and suburbs. And because of the firm’s very nature they require massive buildings to house their goods. But sometimes a Walmart has to close. What do you do then? Rather than let the enormous building fall into disrepair and become a white elephant in the town, officials in McAllen, Texas, did something awesome. They totally transformed the dilapidated old building into a library — the largest single-floor public library in America. The Walmart closed down and was left abandoned. It could have ended up as a pile of rubble. But instead officials turned it into an enormous public library to help the community. […] http://goo.gl/9il94C

A Pet Owner Noticed His Cat Disappear Every Morning. Wait Till You See What He Was Up To.

A cat owner in Pennsylvania noticed that his cat would go missing every morning, but had no idea what he was up to. One day he decided to follow him, and he was amazed at what he saw. The cat had made the best of friends with a little deer, and they were meeting up for a cuddle every day. The deer would come and visit his house cat friend every day. And they became BFFs pretty quick. The two would cuddle up and play like it was a perfectly normal thing to do. And there’s always time for a bit of joking around. Awwww. They are the best, and cutest, […] http://goo.gl/Vpl3QK

Elephants ALWAYS Have Right of Way. These Guys Found Out The Hard Way.

These two guys make a remarkably quick exit when this elephant stakes out a bit of road and refuses let them past. The elephant may as well have been wearing a highwayman mask, but thanks to its size it didn’t need to. The two men approach on their motorbike thinking they’ll just be able to get past. But the elephant has other ideas and they quickly have to ditch the bike and make a retreat as quick as their legs will carry them. It’s good to see them having a little nervous chuckle at the end. They’ll no doubt keep their distance a bit next time… http://goo.gl/63V4Nt

There’s A Dead Whale, Surrounded by Sharks. So This Guy Did What? D’oh!

This Australian guy thought it would be a good idea to jump on to a dead whale for a ride. However, it was also attracting the attention of some very hungry sharks. Luckily someone picked him up before he ended up as dessert. Afterwards he says: “Mum thinks I’m an idiot, dad’s not too proud either”. I think he might be playing down his parents reaction… Sharks aren’t the only danger with dead whales as this pretty gross, but fascinating, footage of an exploding whale shows. The motto of the story? Stay away from dead whales. Though you probably didn’t need me to tell you that… http://goo.gl/yyJe2D

He Tightrope Walks 500ft Up Between Two Skyscrapers. With NO Safety. And BLINDFOLDED.

There’s some things that can really make your stomach turn. Walking on a wire between two skyscrapers while 500ft up is one of them. Now imagine doing it with no safety…and BLINDFOLDED. That’s what tightrope walker Nik Wallenda did this week in Chicago. He had no safety net and no harness and couldn’t see. All he had to rely on was feeling the wire on the soles of his feet, and his father telling him how many steps to take through a megaphone. The stunt was broadcast live on TV with a 10-second delay incase it went horribly wrong. Nik also did a wire walk up a steep incline between […] http://goo.gl/qb7pVN

This Dancing Female Robot Is The Creepiest Thing I’ve Seen

This robot is enough to give you nightmares long after Halloween. At first glance it looks like a woman dressed up like Lady Gaga, but then you notice the skinless face and the terrifying staring eyes. Amazingly, the robot can dance. But the most incredible thing is the hands. They don’t move like a robot’s, but like those of a real, living person. Don’t show this video to your kids, it’ll creep them out. How am I going to sleep tonight? http://goo.gl/gT0Qna

He Looked Like A Real Lego Man. But Wait, What’s That Inside…Whoa!

This has to be one of the most impressive and awesome homemade fancy dress costumes ever made. Until he took the head off there was no way I was believing that wasn’t a real Lego man. It was made by a man for his son after he couldn’t find a good Lego fancy dress costume anywhwere. According to the dad’s cousin, the can’t bend his knees too well so he hobbles along, just like the character in the Lego movie. Yup, that is definitely a normal Lego man. It’s got to just be a trick of perspective to make him look big. But wait… Wow, there’s a boy inside! This […] http://goo.gl/ag4Yb7

This Guy Shone A Laser At A POLICE Helicopter. It Didn’t End Well…

The drink must have got too much for this guy in England, who thought it would be fun to shine a laser pen at a passing police helicopter. Shining lasers at any aircraft is illegal and extremely dangerous as it can temporarily blind the pilot and put lives at serious risk. That didn’t seem to be of any concern to the shaven-headed man and his friends as they sat around drinking outside. But little did they know that the police were immediately tracking him with super-sensitive heat-seeking cameras, and directing officers on the ground round to spoil his party. I never knew police helicopters could pick up so much detail. […] http://goo.gl/FjqPxp

“Hello, operator? Yes, my horse…it’s in the pool.”

These firefighters in Arizona got an unusual call when a local man asked for help when his horse got trapped — in his swimming pool. The horse, called Stormy, couldn’t get out after falling asleep. A vet tranquillised him and firefighters were then able to keep his head above water and pull him from the pool. Perhaps he’d just fancied a swim… Good news. Stormy is said to be doing well and no worse for wear after his swim. http://goo.gl/mBv485

Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars Go Up In Smoke As Rocket Explodes

Ever seen hundreds of millions of dollars go up in flames? That’s just what happened when the rocket Antares and its cargo spacecraft Cygnus blew up just after launch creating a spectacular sight caught on camera. The Orbital Sciences Corp’s spacecraft was due to deliver several tons of supplies to the International Space Station.

This Woman Walks Through NYC For 10hrs. The Harassment She Receives Is Shocking.

Women are subjected to verbal harassment in the street on a daily basis, from wolf-whistles to winks and inappropriate glances. But this video shows just how bad it can be. The footage shows a normal woman walking through New York City for 10 hours, wearing regular jeans and a crewneck t-shirt, and just generally going about her business. But the amount of harassment she gets — more than 100 instances — is shocking. Not only that, but some of it is downright creepy, with men she’s never met following her relentlessly along the street for several minutes. No woman should have to put up with this. Now imagine what it […] http://goo.gl/oN2ma5

I Thought This Was Just Washing Machines In A Van. But Then I Found Out What They Were For. Wow!

Everyone needs to wash their clothes, even homeless people. And two 20-year-old guys from Brisbane, Australia, set out to do something about that. Lucas Patchett and Nicholas Marchesi wanted to help people less fortunate than themselves, and also provide an outlet for 18-30 year olds who wanted to help the community but find it hard discovering volunteering opportunities. So they decided to convert a normal old van into a free mobile washing service for the homeless people in the area they live. They did all the work themselves, and have now been officially washing homeless people’s clothes for a month as Orange Sky Laundry, a non-profit organisation. The world needs […] http://goo.gl/8kohS9
