Weird Facts

Tribe with Huge Testicles

Scanty nourishment and the permanent lack of vitamins made people of the Bubal tribe ask their only wealth - cows - for help. The tribers learned that eating the menstrual matter of cows helps them fight such diseases as rachitis, scurvy and leukemia. The mysterious tribe lives between Kenya and Somalia. This is the only nation in the world, which practices a very unusual tradition: their children eat cows’ menstrual matter until they get married. The Bubals believe that the licking of cow’s vagina makes would-be warriors strong and courageous. Italian scientists have recently discovered that the menstrual matter of cows is a source of such vitamins as B6, B12, E and D. In addition, it makes up the deficiency of iron, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium and potassium. The most interesting thing happens afterwards, though. Hormone changes become extremely conspicuous with all males of the African tribe, after they reach puberty: their testicles grow up to 70-80 centimeters in diameter. Read full story

Most Kicks to the Head in One Minute

The record for the most consecutive kicks to one’s own head in one minute is held by Michael Lloyd of Midland, Texas, USA who kicked himself in the forehead 42 times in a row on October 7, 2003.

To find the witnesses necessary to submit his application to Guinness World Records, Lloyd drove through his local streets, finally stopping at an optometrists, where he found two willing, if probably confused, eyewitnesses.

Highest Fall Survived Without A Parachute

Vesna Vulovic, a flight attendant from Yugoslavia, survived a fall from 10,160 m (33,330 ft) when the DC-9 airplane she was traveling in blew up over Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic), on January 26, 1972. A terrorist bomb was thought to be the cause, and no other passengers survived. Vesna broke both legs and was temporarily paralyzed from the waist down.

Vesna remembers nothing, but later learned that a former nurse, Bruno Henke, saw Vesna’s legs sticking out of the fuselage. Bruno cleared Vesna’s airways before rushing her to hospital. Three days later she awoke from a coma in a hospital in Ceska, Karmenice.

Guy Balances a Car on his Head!

It’s death defying, it’s daunting and it’s downright dangerous. But England’s John Evans balanced a 159.6 kg (352 lb) Mini on his head for 33 seconds at The London Studios, England, on May 24, 1999.

Dangling cars from his head is all in a day’s work for professional ‘Head Balancer’ Evans. He’s balanced people, books and beers, but the car’s by far the most deadly trick – a strong wind and it could have been the end of the road for John, except he achieved this miraculous feat without harm!

Flying Nude

A Texas travel agency which organises clothing-optional holidays, has been running what it claims is the world’s first nude flight.

Houston-based Castaways Travel says sex won’t be allowed on the flight from Miami to Cancun in Mexico.
It has chartered a Boeing 727 for up to 170 passengers for flights to the El Dorado Resort & Spa.

The crew will be professionally dressed, and passengers must be fully-clothed for check-in and takeoff.

Company owner, James Bailey, said most of the seats on the nude flights and rooms in the resort have already been booked.
He said “Inappropriate behaviour is not condoned. This is not a Mile High Club, not a bunch of groupies or anything. It’s just a fun flight.”

Only when the plane has reached its cruising altitude can the passengers strip off.

The Federal Aviation Administration said: “We have no regulations pertaining to nudity on board an aircraft. It’s not a safety issue.”

Crazy Chainsaw Juggling

Crazy Canadian chainsaw chucker Tom Comet was able to juggle three petrol-driven chainsaws for 44 throws (14 complete rotations and two catches) on August 5, 2002, at Princess Street Gardens, Edinburgh, Scotland.

Tom, a member of the Daredevil Opera Company, performed his cutting-edge record attempt in front of a 1,000-strong crowd at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. His act – the aptly named “Rocket Johnny and Roxanne Rolls’ Untimely, Tragic and Fiery Death Stunt Show” – began with Tom dropping a chainsaw after 22 throws, but he calmy picked it up and started again, beating the previous record of 42 throws.

Largest Number of Nipples

It is estimated that breast-feeding began more than 200 million years ago, the time of the first mammals.

Supernumerary nipples are common in many species, e.g. primates, rodents, ruminants.

The largest number of nipples is present in Centetes, a primitive insectivore with twenty-two to twenty-four nipples and as many as thirty six young at birth.

But humans are the only ones that do nipple piercing
