What are some weird facts?

In 1980, a woman named Jean Hilliard in rural north western Minnesota, was involved in a car accident which resulted in car failure in sub-zero temperatures. She walked to a friend's house 2 miles away and collapsed 15 feet outside of the door. Temperatures dropped to −22 °F (−30 °C) and she was found "frozen stiff" at 7 a.m. after six hours in the cold. She was transported to Fosston Hospital where doctors said her skin was too hard to pierce with a hypodermic needle and her body temperature was too low to register on a thermometer. Her face was ashen and her eyes were solid with no response to light. Her pulse was slowed to approximately 12 beats per minute.

She was wrapped in an electric blanket.

The miraculous thing that happened was, 49 days after she was admitted, she was discharged from the hospital with no permanent damage to the brain or body besides frostbite.

Some people might be wondering how this was possible, but scientists explained this :

There's at least one possible scientific explanation.

In the article "Is Human Hibernation Possible," published in 2008 by the Annual Review of Medicine, Dr. Cheng Chi Lee of the University of Texas' Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology notes that

"Some mammals can enter a severe hypothermic state during hibernation in which metabolic activity is extremely low, and yet full viability is restored when the animal arouses from such a state."

In a search for therapeutic uses of induced-hypothermia, Dr. Lee found a "natural biomolecule," 5' AMP, that "allows rapid initiation of hypometabolism in mammals" and that

"may eventually result in clinical applications where hypothermia has been shown to have tremendous lifesaving potential, such as trauma, heart attacks, strokes, and many major surgeries."

It is possible that Hilliard froze so quickly that her body skipped the phase where lasting tissue damage could be done and her body entered a hypometabolic state that allowed her basic life functions to continue until she was successfully thawed out.

AMAZING, RIGHT?

Saved by coins

During World War I, Optatius Buyssens, a Belgian soldier, had these coins in his pocket. They acted as a shield, intercepting a bullet and ultimately preserving his life.

Turtle Tower

Dubai’s wealthy individuals have a notorious obsession with collecting rare and endangered animals as status symbols. The trend of keeping big cats as pets have been prevalent for some time, but a new trend has emerged: “stacking” turtles. This cruel practice involves piling up turtles on top of each other to absorb more heat and bask in the sun’s rays.

Gold!

Undoubtedly, there is nothing that better represents wealth than gold, especially when we talk about a 27-kilo nugget.

Kevin Hillier, a guy from Australia, had a big stroke of luck. When he found a piece of solid gold in its pure state weighing just over 50 pounds, he found it using a rudimentary metal detector.

The Golden Gate Bridge 50th anniversary

In 1987 an estimated 800,000 people flocked to the the Golden Gate Bridge for its 50th anniversary. The weight of the large crowd caused the bridge to sag 7 feet, flattening its usual convex shape. Engineer Daniel E. Mohn reaffirmed the bridge was not overstressed as a result of Bridgewalk '87.

Many may find Laurie Matheson's grave inappropriate. Or have a deep sadness. Laurie Matheson was an Australian multi-millionaire and art collector.

In 1981, he bought the largest marble figure of a rising artist at an exhibition. The artist and his buyer began to talk.

The artist Peter Schipperheyn told him that he would very much like to return to Italy to work on a large block of marble. Laurie Matheson funded this trip for him without hesitation.

In return, he wanted a large sculpture, so he paid handsomely and in advance. Peter Schipperheyn used this trip to make enough sculptures for a second exhibition.

A few years later, Laurie Matheson died unexpectedly. Artist Peter Schipperheyn was then commissioned by his widow to make this figure for her tomb.

And that's it. The widow who always sleeps on her husband's grave. For a cemetery this is unexpectedly intimate, almost erotic, but full of great real human emotions.

This is a plague stone from 1666. They were put on street corners, filled with vinegar, and used to wash hands/money. It was the 1600s version of a sanitizing station.

Is it possible to fail multiple times and succeed once?
Mark Zuckerberg, owner of Facebook, invited five people 18 years ago to his Harvard room.
Reason? Talk to them about a business opportunity. Only two came to the meeting, listened and helped their project.

Today both are billionaires: Dustin Moskovitz with more than 17.8 billion dollars and Eduardo Saverin with more than 20 billion dollars.

When a friend comes to talk about a business opportunity, always have an open mind!
