Below are the top 10 most peculiar—some may say messed up—things people have done while sleepwalking. 10 Mow the Lawn Naked In 2005 a London wife caught her husband, Ian Armstrong, mowing their lawn—naked! The wife, Rebecca, woke up after hearing strange noises from the garden at around 2 am. When she went to check, Rebecca discovered her husband had almost finished mowing the lawn. She said that she didn’t wake up Ian because she believed it was dangerous to wake up a sleepwalker....
Note: If you’re just interested in Charles Bronson, we’ve got an entire list dedicated to the most insane prisoner in England. 10 Peter Bryan Peter Bryan is one of London’s most notorious cannibals. In February 2004, police forced their way into a flat in Walthamstow to find Bryan standing in the hallway covered in blood. The dismembered body of Brian Cherry was on the carpet in the living room, and a small amount of meat was frying in a pan on the stove....
Dr. Drew thrives on addictive personalities. The funniest diagnosis he ever shelled out was at Arnold Schwarzenegger, indirectly, in reference to his illegitimate affair with his former housekeeper, calling it a “love addiction” (to which a skeptical, smirking Anderson Cooper wondered what the difference was to actual love). Such an abstraction as love is a hard thing to be so sure of, at least from a clinical perspective, but what is a sure thing is the addictive properties of actual chemical substances like crack, meth, heroine, alcohol, etc....
This is why most robot-related accidents and deaths happen in factories, where robots work close to humans. An encounter between the two usually doesn’t end well for the human, since thin flesh is obviously no match for pounds of steel. 10 Joshua Brown Joshua Brown is the first person killed in a self-driving car accident. He died on May 7, 2016, after the Tesla Model S he was driving through Williston, Florida, could not differentiate between an 18-wheel tractor-trailer and the bright sky....
Pasqualino Antonio “Leno” LaBianca and his wife Rosemary LaBianca were victims of the Manson Family murders famously known as the Tate LaBianca murders. Charles Manson, the leader of the Manson “family,” orchestrated the murders for the sake of Helter Skelter, an apocalyptic war he believed would arise from tension over racial relations between blacks and whites. The four “family” members who had participated in the Tate murders, Charles “Tex” Watson, Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel and Linda Kasabian, were again summoned by Manson along with Leslie Van Houten and Steve Grogan aka Clem Tufts....
Top 10 Animals You Thought Were Extinct But Aren’t 10 The Bright Orange Bat (Myotis nimbaensis) Discovered 2018 in the Nimba Mountains, New Guinea, West Africa. It’s honestly more cute than creepy! It has bright orange fur and is likely already critically endangered due to human activity. As of right now, there is nothing published on its diet, behaviors, or habits. More research is needed for the newest, ultimate Halloween idol....
Top 10 Shocking Myths About Electricity 10 Electricity does NOT enter the body We have all seen the movie where someone does something involving electricity and for some reason the electricity is visible to the person watching in the form of bright flowing energy flowing from cable or object straight into the person in a sort of wave. Well that part of the electricity flowing in is all wrong even if just on a technicality What actually happens is the that a current is sent through your body and the electrons within your own body become highly active particles....
Islamic armies consisting of Arabs and Berbers began a conquest of the Iberian Peninsula in 711 and maintained a presence until being finally expelled in 1492. Inevitably the invading culture left an impression on the language of the conquered. Below are a number of Spanish language expressions that owe their existence to this chapter in history. *Please note – transliteration of Arabic terms are based on my own estimation as there is no agreed upon standard....
10 The Man Who Won The Lottery But Lost It All (2009) Winning the lottery can change your life, but for Abraham Shakespeare from Florida, this is not always the case. After winning a $30 million jackpot on Nov. 15, 2006, Shakespeare, a former garbage man and day laborer, was rich. After cashing out the $17 million lump-sum payment, Shakespeare went on a legendary spending spree. Early beneficiaries of his wealth included his stepfather, who got $1 million, and his three step-sisters, who got a quarter-million each!...
The more ambitious the project, the more likely that errors will occur. Sometimes, great movies are made despite the risks. Other times, these films bomb. Here, we look at 10 movies that didn’t go quite as planned. 10 Horrific Things That Happened During Movie Filming 10 When The River No Longer Runs Through It William Friedkin had an enviable reputation when he signed on to direct the 1977 movie Sorcerer....
Most of these are mathematical; I’ve tried to make it as nontechnical as possible – apart from anything else, I’m no mathematician so I’ve tried to dumb it down enough so that I can understand it. Unknowable Thing: What’s in a set of sets that don’t contain themselves? We have to do a little mathematics for several of these items! This is the first on the list because, in a sense, the concept of the “unknowable” starts with this paradox discovered by Bertrand Russell in 1901....
This popularity hides the industry’s nasty side. A chocolate coating is a smuggler’s best friend, and companies sell dangerous products. In Japan, female workers are forced to hand out chocolates or face the consequences in their professional lives. 10 Chocolate’s Aroma Compounds Chocolate’s butter, which essentially is fat, is loaded with 600 aroma molecules. Oddly, some smell nothing like the glorious treat. In fact, the aromas of several molecules are more like potato chips, cooked meat, and peaches....
In recent years, they have boomed due to the Scandinavian practice of hygge—getting cozy at home under soothing candlelight. They are a huge industry with some designer brands charging big bucks for a sensory experience that ultimately becomes a pool of wax. When you examine the effects of candles on us, it can throw up some surprising results. Candles are still a vital part of life—imagine a birthday cake without them....
There’s a simple reason for that. Google gave up not being evil a long time ago. Take a good, hard look at the company in 2017, and it’s clear they’ve swapped being the good guys for being utter buttheads. 10 Monopolistic Practices In summer 2017, the European Union handed Google a record-breaking $2.7 billion fine. Their reason? Google had abused its position of EU market dominance to shut competitors out of its search listings....
Roberto Baggio. Italy Vs Czech Republic – 1990 This clip from the Italia world cup in 1990 does not quite do the brilliance of Baggio’s goal justice. Though it still looks good. His dummy just before he scores is perfection. Taking two defenders (watch how the closest defender almost spins right around in confusion) and the goalkeeper out of the equation he presents himself with an open goal. He could not miss....
Although, “The Brady Bride’s” could have easily been included in this list, by the time, “The Brady’s” rolled around, fifteen years after the original, the show had attempted 2.5 failed spin-offs and the producers should have known better. However, with the success of, “A Very Brady Christmas,” they thought to give it one more go. The show switched genre’s, moving from a sitcom to a dramedy that led to it being mocked as, “Bradysomething,” among insiders....
Manhunt is a third-person stealth horror game, released in 2003. A sequel, Manhunt 2, was released four years later. Since 2003, the games have stirred incredible amounts of controversy, as well as gaining large success for the creators, Rockstar.

Gummo 1997, Harmony Korine This might be a controversial entry as it is not as disturbing as some of the others, but frankly, the scene above (which many people find amusing) is very disturbing. While it does not portray physical violence, it portrays mental violence that can have a long reaching impact on a person. I also wonder what parents would allow their children to act in a scene like this....
