14. The "Spanish Donkey" was a torture device, not a dance move.

This form of torture involved having people sit naked on a board many feet in the air. Torturers would then tie increasingly heavy weights to their feet. This was obviously uncomfortable.

9. Scientists discovered pyramids hiding deep underwater.


Using sonar technology, scientists discovered two pyramids 6,000 feet underwater. They are made of glass and presumed to be larger than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt.
Brother this is a hoax, no such thing as a glass pyramid was discovered under the ocean by anybody.

"Meyer Verlag", the name of the alleged "oceanographer" said to have made the discovery, no such oceanographer exists and surely such discovery has never been tendered for peer review to the scientific community.

The story is a complete HOAX by mischievous conspiracy theorists...

4. Anna Mae Dickinson must be the luckiest person ever.


This has to be the luckiest woman to ever live. Over the course of her life, she survived the sinking of the Titanic and the Lusitania, the Hindenburg explosion, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and the terrorist attacks of September 11, at which point her apartment was destroyed by the collapse of the World Trade Center. I think we've finally tracked down Lady Luck herself.
I won't tag her as lucky, if anything I would avoid her as she seems to be so prone to disaster!

How could you possibly hold a hook and line straight up in the so called river in the ocean (0:30) and the current wont at least move the line from being a straight line? I doubt it!

28. Jimmy Williams, 16, Thomas Rios, 18, and Leah Johnson, 18, vanished in November 1970 after telling friends they were going to a football game but never returned. November 20, 1970.

About 40years later, they were discovered as police tested out sonar equipment in Oklahoma lake.

Skeletal remains found in two rusting cars at the bottom of the Oklahoma lake belong to six people who vanished in two separate incidents more than 40 years ago, DNA tests have confirmed.
The discovery made accidentally as police tested out sonar in Foss Lake in September 2013 brings an end to two cold cases, stretching back to 1969 and 1970. More than a year after the discovery, the state Medical Examiner's Office confirmed the identities of the bodies, and said they alldied from drowning in accidental deaths.
