10. Leopold II of Belgium Its impressive that from such a small country could come such a colossal tyrant. Deciding that his country wasn’t big enough Leopold did what any leader would do and went to Africa…to start his own. In what is present day Democratic Republic of the Congo, he managed to enslave, torture, and kill over 3 million people just so he could sell some ivory. 4 Likes

9. Osama bin Laden As the face of modern terrorism and the founder of al-Qaeda he lived a good portion of his life with a $25 million dollar bounty placed on his head by the FBI. In spite of that, he managed to evade capture for the better part of three presidential administrations before tasting American steel. 2 Likes

8. Dr. H. H. Holmes One of the first documented serial killers in American history, he built a hotel specifically for the purpose of killing his guests. Located less than 2 miles from the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, he would lure guests to “Murder Castle” where he had rigged all of the bedrooms with gas lines, soundproofing, lime pits, etc.. He would then proceed to torture and kill them, ultimately dissecting their bodies and selling the pieces to medical schools. 5 Likes

7. Vlad the Impaler You know you belong on this list when you are the sole inspiration for the most famous vampire novel of all time – Dracula. And to give you an idea of why, here is a list of some of his favorite pastimes: nails in heads, cutting off of limbs, blinding, strangulation, burning, cutting off of noses and ears, mutilation of sexual organs (especially in the case of women), scalping, skinning, exposure to the elements or to animals, and boiling alive 2 Likes

6. Pol Pot The leader of the Khmer Rouge and Prime Minister of Cambodia in the 1970s, he actually managed to relocate the entire population of Cambodia onto farms where they slaved away planting seeds that would grow into food that no one would be allowed to eat. And this is why we study economics…so that unlike our pal Pol Pot, we don’t starve one- third of our population to death. But that’s not all, Pot and the Khmer Rouge were also responsible for mass executions in places known as Killing Fields. And although no one can be certain of the death toll, it has been said that in order to save ammunition, the executions were often carried out using spades, axes, hammers, and sharpened bamboo sticks. 4 Likes

5. Elizabeth Bathory A Hungarian countess from the 1500’s who has been labeled the “most prolific female serial killer in history” and has come to be known as the “Blood Countess” or “Blood Queen”. We believe those to be appropriate titles for someone alleged to bathe in the blood of virgins in order to maintain their youth. According to court records, Elizabeth and several accomplices would lure young girls to their lair and then proceed to beat them, burn them, bite the flesh of their faces, freeze them, perform surgery on them, starve them, and abuse them sexually. 2 Likes 1 Share

3. Ivan IV He was the first of the Tsars and with his resume its surprising that the Russians allowed there to be anymore. During one of his escapades to Poland he had 1000 prisoners brought before him everyday to be executed. Assuming that he got a full nights sleep (8 hours) that would mean witnessing 1 execution for every minute he was awake. 3 Likes

2. Joseph Stalin To start with, he actually managed to starve an entire country (The Ukraine). But as bad as that is, it falls far short of showcasing the level of badness this man was capable of. In classic dictator fashion, he had many of his closest friends and confidants executed. Total kill count: around 60 million. 5 Likes 2 Shares

Education / Why Are Cars Called Whips? by jiggyniga: 3:52pm On Nov 17, 2017 |
Cars are sometimes referred to as whips
because steering wheels were called whips
when they were first introduced. This was
because steering wheels were used to
control cars in the same way that whips
were used to control horses in horse-
drawn buggies or carriages.
The term “whip” was used in early rap and
hip-hop music to mean “an expensive car,” but
has since evolved to mean “a car.” According
to urban legend, rap and hip-hop artists noted
that the Mercedes-Benz logo looks like a
steering wheel and began calling Mercedes-
Benzs and other expensive cars whips. In the
automotive industry, “WHIPS” also refers to
Volvo’s whiplash protection system, which is
designed to reduce the risk of whiplash
injuries in car accidents.

6). Robert the Doll Robert the Doll is a life-like, straw-filled doll that was once given to a boy named Robert Otto by his fired Haitian nanny. The doll soon became Robert’s loyal companion; he even named it after himself. However, people in the house soon began noticing sings of the doll’s evil nature. The family would often hear and see paranormal things such as the boy having conversations with himself in two entirely different voices, furniture in his room getting overturned on its own etc. The cursed doll was then moved to the attic, but it continued to bring misfortunes upon Robert and his family, even after he grew up and got married. 7). Surrey Ghost Car Crashes are common on the A3 Highway in England, so it looked like a routine matter when police in Surrey received calls that a car had veered off the A3 with its headlights blazing. But when officers went to investigate, they found no signs of the reported vehicle. However, a further search revealed chilling results. Just 60 ft from the reported ‘crash scene’ and buried in twisted undergrowth was the remains of a wrecked car containing a decomposing body of a young man, who, as the police estimated, had crashed there 5 months earlier. Therefore, what the witnesses reported, might have been a ghostly apparition of the original car. . Cursed Phone Number Technically, a phone number is not a physical object but obviously, it can be still cursed so we included this item in our list. We are talking about a particular Bulgarian phone number +359 888 888 888. The number was in use for just 10 years, during which it was successively assigned to 3 people. All of the owners of this number died shortly thereafter. The first owner died of cancer, while the other two were both gunned down. No wonder the Bulgarian mobile phone company decided to suspend this number. 1 Like 1 Share |

4). Hope Diamond One of the most famous jewels in the world, the Hope Diamond is an unusually large, blue gem reportedly worth $250 million. With first ownership records dating back to 17th century, this diamond is believed to be cursed, supposedly causing great misfortune and misery to whoever wears it. The most commonly accepted origin of the curse dates back to 1653, when a French merchant obtained the original 115-carat blue diamond in India where he plucked the gem from one of the eyes of a Hindu idol and, for this sacrilege, was later mauled to death by dogs. 5). King Tutankhamun's To Ever since the King Tutankhamun’s Tomb was discovered in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings in 1923, stories have circulated that those who dared to violate the boy king’s final resting place faced a terrible curse. It is widely claimed that many people associated with opening the tomb fell soon victim to the curse, dying under mysterious circumstances. 1 Like 1 Share |

1). CURSED MIRROR AT MYRTLES PLANTATION A historic home and former plantation, the Myrtles Plantation in St. Francisville, Louisiana, is considered one of America’s most haunted places. There are many creepy legends surrounding the property. The tale of the cursed mirror is one of the most famous. According to the legend, the former owner of the house, Sara Woodruff, and her two daughters were poisoned by their slave and are trapped inside the mirror. Visitors of the house report seeing hand prints, strange marks, and even figures dressed in old-fashioned clothes lurking in the mirror. 2). Haunted Wedding Dress In 1849, a girl (Anna Baker) from a rich Pennsylvania family fell in love with a low class iron worker. Anna’s father did not want her to marry a man from the lower class, and he forbid the wedding, for which Anna had already bought a dress. Heartbroken and disappointed, Anna decided to remain single for the rest of her life; she died as an old maid in 1914. Since then, her wedding dress has been allegedly cursed as visitors of Anna’s house (that was turned into a museum) often report seeing the dress moving within the glass box in which it was put on display. 3). The Anguished Man Pain One of the world’s most famous haunted paintings, The Anguished Man was allegedly created by an extremely disturbed individual who mixed his own blood in with the oil paint while painting the piece. He committed suicide immediately following its completion. The painting is owned by Sean Robinson, who heard strange noises and saw terrifying sights as long as the painting was hanging in his bedroom in his house in Cumbria, England. 1 Like |
