Did You Know That A Woman From Arizona Claims She Is Only 1/3rd Human And 2/3rds….


An alien statue sculptor named Cynthia Crawford admits she is 66% alien and 34% human.
The Arizona-born woman claims her job as an artist who molds alien statue pieces is helping her stay connected with her birthright because she believes that she comes from another extraterrestrial species.

During an interview Cynthia shared that she is a product of an awful experiment conducted in Korea where her father worked with the government to dismantle and study alien devices which were discovered in the remains of their crashed spaceships. She admits that her mother was dozed with intoxicating chemicals then impregnated with alien DNA. This is why the woman has only 34% of human DNA and also very porous bones that are typical for her alien ancestors.
Not only that but she claims she got abducted by aliens when she was a child and more experiments were conducted on her by the invaders. She believes she has a mission on Earth to educate mankind about the aliens and warn them of the dangers that are yet to come.

Did You Know That The Longest Hangover In The World Lasted For….

After the examination the man admitted that he got into a domestic fight that consequently ended up in the nearest pub where he drank 60 pints of bear (equal to 8.98 gallons) in 4 days straight. The Scotsman practically drank himself to a point in which he got so dehydrated by the alcohol he eventually developed a condition called cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. CVST is a severe condition that can cause eyesight impairment, seizures and random loss of consciousness.
The doctors informed that it took more than 6 months of long-term blood treatment to bring back the man’s normal vision and eliminate the painful headache.

Did You Know That According To Australian Scientists Pregnant Women Who Eat Junk Food Will…


When a woman is pregnant she needs to keep a nutritious and balanced diet at all times. It’s extremely important for the mother to carefully manage the intake of carbohydrates, proteins and especially fats in every stage of the pregnancy. Eating a wide range of fruits and vegetables is strongly advised in order to ensure a healthy nutrition for both the mother and the unborn baby. Although most women are aware of this, some often tend to give in to food cravings and develop bad eating habits that include junk food.

However, recent scientific discoveries suggest that bad eating habits during pregnancy might be much more disturbing than previously thought. According to a research conducted by the University of Adelaide, Australia mothers-to-be can pass their food habits to their unborn children. The research says that if a pregnant woman is on a strong junk food diet she would need to eat more and more fats and sugar in order to get the same good feeling thus increasing her preference towards junk food. It will also make her consume a much bigger amount of food than necessary. The researchers claim that this addiction is going to lead to the development of a predisposition for obesity and strong desire for junk food once the babies grow up. It will be very hard for the children of such mothers to maintain a healthy food diet and regular body weight later in life.

Did you know that a drunken woman mistook a cheeseburger for a ….


The title says it right. A woman from Florida was way beyond tipsy when she mistook a cheeseburger for her sandal, while being confronted by the police.

25 year old Rachel Gossett and her 27 year old boyfriend Frank Lucas were at a waffle house parking lot in Loganville, Georgia, when the police received an anonymous tip about the couple, which was having a drunken intercourse at the parking lot. When police officers arrived at the parking lot and spotted the couple in a pickup truck, they were already extremely intoxicated. According to reports, Gossett tried to put on a cheeseburger on her foot several times, mistakenly taking it for her sandal. How drunk does somebody need to be in order to think a burger could pass for a shoe? Reportedly, Gossett’s blood alcohol level had been two times over the legal limit just as Lucas’ one.
The two were arrested and charged for public intoxication and loitering earlier this month.

Did You Know That According To US Law Beer Commercials Aren’t Allowed To Show….


You have probably noticed it yourselves but beer commercials in the US aren’t really allowed to show people actually drinking the beer. Why is it forbidden?
copyrights: http://shutterstock.com
copyrights: http://shutterstock.com
There are two basic reasons. The first one is a marketing strategy. When beer commercials started popping up on TV the prohibition period had just ended. Thus, many large beer companies thought their products weren’t something morally challenging and super-exclusive, so they decided not to feature the actual drinking in the commercials. According to them this way the public would be much more tempted to buy the product. The second reason people weren’t drinking beer on the adverts was because of minors : the companies assumed many under-aged people would be tempted by the young-looking people in the commercials drinking so they would look up to them and start buying the alcohol.
However, in some commercials the actors are shown drinking beer. Nevertheless, they aren’t consuming actual alcohol but a liquid which appears to look just like the malt liquor drink.

Did You Know That On the set of Rocky IV, Dolph Lungren punched Sylvester Stallone so hard that…


Sylvester Stallone, also known as Rocky Balboa, isn’t indestructible. The famous actor got beat up so brutally by a co-star that he had to be hospitalized and the hospital staff thought he had been hit by a car!
silvester
In the distant 1980s Stallone was directing the third sequel of the world-famous movie ‘Rocky’. Stallone, in the lead role, wanted to add more realism to the fighting scenes for ‘Rocky IV’, so he decided to trade actual punches with his co-star Dolph Lundgren who portrayed Rocky’s opponent, Drago. Lundgren landed several jabs in Stallone’s ribs during three takes while they were filming the fighting scene. Allegedly, Stallone started having burning sensations in his chest but he ignored them.
Later that same night he started having trouble breathing and had to be taken to the emergency room. Stallone remained in hospital for eight days, since Lundgren had punched him so hard that his heart had collided with his sternum which resulted in restricted blood flow through his whole body!

Did You Know That A Canadian Family Is “Living” Its 1986 Because….


A young family from Canada is pretending to live in the late 80′s. If you have ever wondered who was the president of the USA in the 1950′s then Blair McMillan is your guy. You will just need to wait for at least 10 minutes so he can browse through his old-school encyclopedia set donated by someone who was probably wondering why on Earth doesn’t the 26-year-old father just get an Internet connection.

It’s because he can’t. Blair and his girlfriend Morgan have made a bizarre pact to live as if it was the early dawn of the 1986 again. They have two small beautiful children Trey, 5, and Denton, 2, who they want to raise properly without the distractions that modern day technologies provide. The family is pretending that it’s 1986 and they sure mean it. They have no Internet, no smartphones, no flat screen TVs, no modern day dishwashers and by the looks of it no modern lifestyle whatsoever. They even develop their rolls of film for $20 a pop and create real photo albums instead of Instagramming their children’s every move. The family decided to parent their children the same way they were brought up just to show them what it was like. So far, the “experiment” is working according to their plan.

Married couples tend to argue more often than others. But why end an argument with flowers and a box of chocolates since putting a fake bomb in the kitchen will result as a news sensation?

Randolph Troy Smith, a 51 year old man from Vero Beach, Florida, was in a process of divorcing his wife, when they got into an argument. It probably wasn’t their first one, but it surely was a memorable one. After their wrangle, Randolph decided to “cheer up” his wife by leaving her an unpleasant surprise. Mrs. Smith found a strangely looking pipe on the kitchen counter with a creepy note from her husband, saying that the pipe was a bomb. The terrified woman called emergency services and a bomb squad was sent to the address shortly after. It turned out the bomb wasn’t a real bomb – it was only a fuse jack with wire sticking from it.
Police officers found the carefree Randolph about an hour later near a Burger King restaurant in Vero Beach. He was thrown in jail with a $11,000 bond.

According to the police the woman didn’t know she was pregnant until she gave birth to the boy. She could face charges due to her actions. The 30-year-old rescuer was also unaware that his girlfriend was expecting a child. The man admitted his life had drastically changed since he found his own son in the trash bin.

Did you know that Kurt Cobain almost banned Dave Grohl from playing thei…

Nirvana’s “Unplugged” concert is one of the greatest moments in the band’s history. It was recorded in November 18, 1993 in New York and about three weeks later the gig was aired on MTV. Years later the famous music television reveals an unknown fact: Kurt Cobain almost banned drummer Dave Grohl from performing at the legendary concert.
source: wikipedia.org

The reason for this was that Cobain didn’t like the way Dave sounded during the rehearsals. Grohl played the drums with sticks, which didn’t allow him to achieve the sound necessary for an acoustic concert. The problem was resolved by buying new sizzle sticks and wire brushes for Dave and giving them to him as a Christmas present. Happily, he received these gifts and used them for the “Unplugged” show.
The information about the conflict was provided by unreleased behind-the-scenes videos showed by MTV as part of the celebrations dedicated to the 20-year anniversary of the concert. The music channel also presented testimonials from people who worked to make the gig happen.

Miraculously, a few days later the little girl woke up and got better. Tests have shown that the new method was effective in her case and now Emma is healthy and happy girl.

Did You Know That Annabelle The Haunted Doll From ‘The Conjuring’ came into…

The rag doll Annabelle was featured in the book “The Demonologist” and was the main character that gave popularity to the investigators of the paranormal Ed and Lorraine Warren back in 1970s.
The story of the doll is quite unique. Annabelle was brought in the flat of two medical students, Donna and Angie, as a birthday present. Being pleased with the doll, one of the girls placed it in her bedroom beside her bed. It wasn’t long before the doll started behaving really suspiciously. The two flatmates noticed that the doll was moving on its own. They sometimes found it in rooms in which they had never placed it. Eventually, they discovered that blood, coming as if from nowhere, was dripping from the doll.
Annabelle
This was when the girls contacted a psychic who was brought to the house to investigate the peculiar case of Annabelle. The psychic discovered that Annabelle was actually a young girl that once lived in a property that stood where the new apartment building was later erected. The dead body of the 7-year-old Annabelle was discovered in the field near Donna and Angie’s apartment block several decades before the doll came into the girls’ possession. The medium then assured the girls that Annabelle felt comfort in their company so she decided to possess the raggedy doll.
The story unfolded when the doll became aggressive towards Donna’s friend Lou who received a mysterious scratch mark on his chest. The man was left alone with the doll he resented and little Annabelle could obviously feel his rancor towards her.
However, after the deep analysis of Ed and Loraine Warren, who the girls eventually contacted, the paranormal investigators came to the conclusion that the doll was not actually possessed by an evil spirit but rather manipulated by it. The spirit wanted to gain recognition of its existence and did not actually attach itself to the doll. According to the paranormal researchers spirits can only possess living human bodies. The Warrens took Annabelle with them when they left the girls’ home because they wanted to investigate further. If Donna and Angie hadn’t got rid of the doll, the evil spirit would have probably infested one of them.
Eventually, the Warrens placed Annabelle in a locked container to prevent it from moving around but the terrible entity attached to the doll is supposed to still be there.
If you want to see the famous Annabelle you can visit the Warren Occult Museum in Moodus, Connecticut in which she is currently displayed.

Did You Know That Steve Jobs Became A Vegan Because He Believed The Diet Would Eliminate The Need To…


Steve Jobs, the late co-founder of Apple, was one of the most influential figures of our century in the fields of computers and consumer electronics. A legendary inventor, Jobs has often been dubbed the ‘Father of the Digital Revolution’.

Apart from his brilliant mind, the college dropout was also famous for his peculiar personal habits and way of living. As described in Job’s biography by Walter Isaacson, the entrepreneur became a vegan partly because he believed his body odor would be nicer than those of omnivores. What is more, Jobs was convinced that being a vegan he didn’t need to shower as often as people who ate meat. However, Jobs was reported to smell rather awful and as if he hadn’t showered for days, if not weeks. Even though it was mostly during his youth when he was something of hippie, it mustn’t have been very pleasant for Job’s colleagues and people around him.
Nevertheless the result in his case, Jobs was onto something with his theory of vegans smelling better than people who consume animal products on a daily basis. According to a scientific experiment, when asked to smell the armpits of men on a vegetarian diet and meat-eating ones, 95% of the women participating in the study described the body odor of vegetarians as less intense and much more ‘attractive’. Scientists explain these results with the fact that conventional eaters excrete more toxins than people who don’t consume meat which makes their body odor unpleasant.

Marching Songs For The Russian Military Is SpongeBob…


Russian people and especially the Russian military have the reputation of being very strong, both physically and psychologically, and able to overcome anything. The typical Russian toughness is often imputed to the severe climate in the Northern Eurasian country.

However, Russian soldiers have come up with an idea to keep their spirit high during training. As funny as it may sound, the Russian army marches to the SpongeBob Squarepants  theme song. Apparently, it is being used in different army units both infantry and navy. The military men don’t mind chanting the name of the bright yellow sponge while doing their daily exercise. What is even more hilarious is the fact that army captains try to imitate the SpongeBob’s captain voice when he says “Are you ready, kids?”.
Although the idea of the Red Army marching to the theme song of the children’s cartoon is quite unbelievable, there is a YouTube video to prove it. You can check for yourself.

When Simpson was 12 years she auditioned for Disney’s The New Mickey Mouse Club, a TV show that helped launch the careers of many of today’s pop stars such as Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, Ryan Gosling and others. The show divided the contestants into groups where vocal and acting coaches worked with them in order to improve their performance. Simpson was put in the same group as Justin Timberlake and she made it to the final 13 candidates. However, when she got on stage she completely choked and forgot everything. Later, Simpson stated that she felt really intimidated by the impressive vocal performances of Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera whom she lost her spot to.
Before Simpson gave birth to her first child in 2012, she made a deal with Weight Watchers which involved her following their diet plan in order to lose her 70 pounds of baby weight. The singer appeared in a Weight Watchers TV Commercial that same year but announced she would stop using the company’s diet plan due to her being pregnant again. Simpson gave birth to her second child in 2013.
Currently, Simpson is involved in the reality show ‘Fashion Star’ as a mentor of aspiring designers.

Did You Know That 72-Year-Old Identical Twin Brothers Died On The Same Road On The Same Day And Both Were…..


Finnish police officer Marja-Leena Huhtala and the whole world were shocked, to say the least, after they found out about two accidents which occurred on the same road in Finland in 2002.

According to police reports, two identical twin brothers died at the age of 72 on a road in Raahe, Finland. The first brother was killed by a lorry while he was riding his bicycle. Approximately two hours later and less than a mile away from the accident his twin brother died on the same road also hit by a lorry. Police officer Huhtala told the press that the second brother most probably wasn’t aware of his twin’s unfortunate fate because nobody had alerted the family by that time. Huhtala thought that a higher power had a say in the twins’ case.
There are many stories about twins sharing a special bond that makes them aware of the other one’s feelings. However, the case of the twin brothers dying the same way separately from each other in such a short time and almost on the same spot is quite rare and most probably one of a kind.

Did You Know That A Woman Was Caught On Camera While Ordering A Hit On Her ….


Julia Charlene Merfeld, a 20-year-old woman from Michigan, got fed up with her husband so much she wanted him dead. Or, to be more accurate, she wanted to get her hands on his $400,000 life insurance so she ordered a hitman.

However, what Merfeld didn’t know was the fact that the so called hitman was actually an undercover police officer. The constable was able to record his conversation with the woman during which she seemed carefree and extraordinarily calm. She wanted him to murder her husband on a Thursday so she could use her job as an alibi. Furthermore, she was clear that the scene mustn’t look like a robbery foul because she wanted a friend of hers to move in later with her and not get scared of potential thieves.
Merfeld promised to give $50, 000 for the murder but only after it was done. She told the undercover police officer she could pay only $100 as an earnest fee and that she would deliver the rest after she gets the full life insurance.
