Why EVILS... savage

10. When the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant was damaged by the tsunami in Japan in 2011, a group of more than 200 Japanese pensioners volunteered to tackle the nuclear crisis at the site.
They said they wanted to perform the job and face the danger of radiation to spare the lives of the young

9. When homeless man Billy Ray Harris returned a $4,000 diamond engagement ring to Sarah Darling, who had accidentally dropped it into his change cup, he could not know this incident would turn his life upside down.

His extraordinary act of kindness touched many people, and they donated $180,000 to Billy. The honest finder bought a house and a car with the donated money and even found a job.

8. During a protest in Brazil, an officer asked the protesters not to fight on his birthday. Shortly after, they surprised him with a birthday cake.

7. In June 2016, a chivalrous tram driver stopped his tram, got out of his cabin, and helped an old woman to cross a busy street in Prague, Czech Republic.

6. John Unger used to cradle his 19-year-old dog Schoep in a lake so the buoyancy would relieve the dog's arthritic pain.

The heartbreaking picture inspired so many donations from all over the world that not only did Schoep receive top-notch care to make the rest of his life as comfortable as possible, but John was even able to start a foundation to help other dogs in need.

5. Shortly after 23 Egyptian Christians were killed in a suicidal bombing by radical Islamists in Cairo in December 2010, a group of random Egyptian Christians joined hands and formed a protective circle surrounding hundreds of Muslims who were vulnerable as they knelt in prayer in order to protect them from potential retributive attacks.

4. When Travis Selinka, a 10-year-old boy from Carlsbad, California, lost his hair has after weeks of radiation to treat his brain cancer in 2013, he was very apprehensive about returning to school without hair.

However, his classmates at the El Camino Creek Elementary School decided to stand by his side by shaving their heads in a show of support. Travis was blown away by the gesture.

3. During the 2010 Zheng-Kai Marathon in China, Jacqueline Nyetipei Kiplimo, an elite Kenyan runner, saw a disabled Chinese athlete struggling to drink water.

She decided to run with him and aid him through all the water stations. This slowed her time not only costing her first place (she came in second) but also the $10,000 cash prize.

2. This brave police officer handcuffed himself to a woman who was trying to commit suicide in Beijing, China.

The woman knew that if she died, she would take the policeman with her and that seemed to bring her back. The officer later hauled her back onto the building where he stood.

1. This young Egyptian woman spends her time teaching a street vendor’s child how to read and write every day after exiting the subway.

7. Coffin Birth

This happens when the gases built up inside a dead pregnant mother push the fetus out (it is also dead).

6. Commotio Cordis

This happens when your chest gets hit in just the right area at just the right moment, and causes you to go into cardiac arrest (it disrupts your heart rythm). So yes, you can die by getting hit in the chest.

Note: this usually occurs in young healthy males who play sports.

5. Prions

You may or may not have a protein in your brain that is bent the wrong way.

If you do, one day it will convince the other proteins to bend that way, and you will die (after going crazy).

4. Danger triangle of the face

Due to the special nature of the blood supply to the human nose and surrounding area, it is possible for retrograde infections from the nasal area to spread to the brain.

Translation: popping a zit(pimple) on your nose can kill you, at least theoretically

3. Aneurysm

It can kill you completely unexpectedly and within seconds. Even if you are young and healthy.

It has no symptoms and occurs unnoticed. In rare cases, the brain aneurysm ruptures releasing blood into the skull and causing a stroke.

2. Internal Decapitation

Also known as orthopedic decapitation, this is when your skull separates from your spine (but everything else remains intact).


It can be caused by any small movement causing impact. This is immediately fatal in about 70% of cases.

1. Kidney Transplants

When you undergo a kidney transplant, they don't usually take the bad kidney out of your body. So practically, you'd end up with 3 kidneys.

5. Color Constancy

Looking at the picture above, what colors are squares A and B? They should be gray and white. Now, place your finger in between the squares and look at the squares once more. They are both gray, right?

The reason your eyes see the color(s) that way is similar to the internet phenomenon “The Dress” where some people saw a black and blue dress, while other people saw a white and gold one (in reality, it was black and blue).

The leading theory on why people see colors this way comes down to the way that humans evolved. Our eyes are meant to see color in the daylight, so they see objects in context . When you’re looking at something, light goes into your eye and different wavelengths correspond to different colors in your eye.

4. Illusory Motion

In the above picture, nothing is moving. It’s not an animated GIF or a video; it’s just an illusion that induces motion called illusory motion. While it is a common optical illusion, no one is really sure what causes it.

One school of thought is that involuntary eye movements make objects near what you’re fixated on look like they are moving. The other possible reason is that it’s caused by motion detectors in your visual cortex.

When you look around the picture, the detectors get confused because of the constant changes in the image, so your brain thinks that it’s seeing motion.

3. The Pinna Illusion

For the picture in this entry, what is the design? It looks like spirals, right? But they are actually perfect concentric circles. If you don’t believe me, trace your fingers over the circles and you’ll see that they are round and never intersect with one another.


The illusion shows the difference between what the eyes see and what the brain recognizes. What the visual system is trying to do is figure out what pieces are part of the same object.

2. Ponzo Illusion

Would you believe me if i told you that the two figures in the image on the left and the two black lines in the picture on the right are the same size? Well, since you’re reading a list about optical illusions, then there is a good chance that you do believe me, but go ahead and measure it any ways.


The illusion is caused by something called linear perspective , which happens because we see the world in three dimensions. If two lines are converging, in the case of the picture it would be the walls, our brain interprets the lines as staying parallel and receding into the distance.

1. The Herring Illusion

In the picture, it looks like the lines are curved, but they are actually straight and parallel. What’s so amazing is that the reason we possibly see it that way is because we’re actually seeing into the future. Really.

It all comes down to how the brain perceives sight. When light hits your retina, there is about a one-tenth of a second delay before the brain turns that signal into a visual perception.

The thing is, the human brain has evolved so it compensates for the delay, so the visual system creates an image about what will happen one-tenth of a second into the future. This ability is the same one that allows us to maneuver through a crowd or catch a fly ball.
