Strange Twins

A lot has been said about identical twins, and the strange case of the identical twins June and Jennifer Gibbons remains yet another enigma that will continue to attract even more broad discussions about identical twins.

June and Jennifer Gibbons only speak with each other— until one of them died, either of them or both of them never talked to anyone else. Their language of communication is strange and they mirror each other's action by doing everything at the same time.

In school, they refused to read or write and yet their room is filled with sheets of papers with many strange and scary fictional stories scrambled on the papers. They also recorded some of the plays they wrote, on tape.

Attempt to separate the twin sisters became another problem, as both sisters withdrew completely from the society when they were separated. At one point during their separation, it took two people to get June out of bed, after which she was simply propped against a wall, her body “stiff and heavy as a corpse.”

It wasn't long before they were reunited. But after their reunion their bond and withdrawal from the society increased. They stopped having verbal communicatio with their parents. They write to them instead of speaking.

Another mistake happened when they confined the sisters to a psychiatric hospital for 11 years, all in an attempt to break their bond and "make them normal".

In the end, one of the twin sisters (Jennifer) died. And after her death, June started talking to everyone and living a normal life.

Dolphins can Detect Pregnancy In Women

It has been speculated that dolphins might know when a woman is pregnant as female dolphins are known to take particular interest in pregnant women.

The search for explanation revealed that dolphins can detect pregnancy in women using a technique called echolation. They emit sound waves and listen to the echo to make sense of their environment. Experts say that it is possible that a dolphin may be able to detect the difference in the echo of woman before and during pregnancy.

Echolation is similar to the technique used by doctors to image a developing human baby. Both involve ultrasound — high-pitched pulses of sound above the range of human hearing. In addition to this, there are other anecdotal evidence of dolphins detecting cancers in people.

What Do You Think Is Wrong?

David Hampson is known as the "Silent Man" in the UK. For 7+ years he repeatedly stands on a certain road to block traffic, and when arrested, he never speaks a word, not even to the court or his own lawyer; but everytime he is released, he repeats the crime and remains completely silent when arrested.

Several times authorities have ordered a psychiatric report into Hampson in the hope it could shed some light on his behaviour, and suggest possible help that he could be offered. However, he has refused to speak to the court-appointed doctor so no interview could take place.

The Hansalu Lovers.

Hansalu is an ancient, burned out village destroyed about 2800 years ago. Recently, while excavating, archeologists were surprised to find the remains of two bodies, seemingly sharing a loving embrace before their eventual death.

These remains were found in a mudbrick bin that was designed for storing grain, embracing one another in what appears to be a kiss and were dubbed.

It was discovered that the city of Teppe Hasanlu was destroyed around 800 BCE by an invading army that sacked the city and burned it to the ground. Apparently, the Hasanlu Lovers were hiding from these invaders in the grain bin when they died of asphyxiation from the smoke emanating from the fires raging around the city.

The San Pedro Prison in Lapaz, Bolivia is one of the strangest prisons in the world.

Prisoners in San Pedro buy their own cells, they elect their own president, they run shops, restaurants, and schools in the prison. There are no guards in the prison, and prisoners can live with their wives and children.

Rich prisoners can rent their own luxury prisons for up to $30,000, build a new prison by themselves, or renovate existing prisons to meet their own standards. Poor prisoners rent filthy prisons for a few hundred dollars.

Rich drug lords and politicians held in the San Pedro Prison, built their own prisons and furnished it with TVs, Jacuzzis, library, etc.

Some criminals build their own prisons and put them up for rent so that new prisoners can rent them. Once the rent is paid, they sign the agreement form and deeds of transfer.

When prisoners are about to be released to go home, they are presented with a bill for the water and electricity they consumed during their stay in the prison.

Jobless prisoners can find job in a restaurant, school, or shop, there in the prison. A rich prisoner can also open a shop, school, restaurant, or any other type of legal business in the "prison community

We may have come across a story or more about what men have done for love, but only few, if any of us, have heard of what women did, or suffered for the sake of love.

Let's look at the story of Blanche Monnier

She found a suitor in the late 1800, but unfortunately he was not of her social class. He wasn't the young, rich aristocrat her family had hoped she would wed, but rather an older, poor lawyer.

The Monniers were a prominent and wealthy family; had an estate, and a spotless reputation. In Parisian high society Madam Monnier, Blanche's mother, was known for her charitable works, she had even received a community award in recognition of her generous contributions. Her son, Marcel, had excelled at school and now worked as a respectable lawyer

So when Blanche's low-classed suitor came, the mother insisted she choose a more suitable husband, but Blanche refused. Then her mother did the unthinkable:

She locked Blanche in a dark room for a period of 25 years.

Fast forward to a day in May 1901, the attorney general of Paris had received a strange letter stating that a prominent family in the city was keeping a dirty secret. The note was handwritten and unsigned, but the attorney general was so disturbed by its contents that he decided to investigate immediately.

The police did a customary search on the estate and was led to a dark room where an odd smell was oozing from. The room was pitch black, and its only window had been shuttered closed and hidden behind thick curtains. When the window was forced open, it appear that the odour was coming from spoilt meal littered on the floor.

That was the first time Blanche Monnier had seen the sun in over two decades. She had been kept completely naked and chained to her bed since the time of her mysterious “disappearance” 25 years earlier. Unable to even get up to relieve herself, the now-middle-aged woman was covered in her own filth and surrounded by the vermin that had been lured in by the rotting scraps.

It appeared that Blanche Monnier had refused to give in to her mother's request. So even after her suitor died she had since remained locked in her cell, with only rats and lice for company.

When the new went public, the outrage was so great that an angry mob formed outside of the Monnier house, leading Madame Monnier to suffer a heart attack. She would die 15 days after her daughter’s liberation.

Blanche Monnier lived the rest of her life with some lasting psychological damage after her decades-long imprisonment: she lived out the rest of her days in a French sanitarium, dying in 1913; 12 years after her freedom.

Here is the story of an assassin who hired an assassin who hired an assassin that hired another assassin who eventually hired another assassin.

You think that's a typing error? No. Read the story.

In 2019 in China, Tan Youhui, a real estate developer, hired an assassin to kill his business rival. He paid the assassin £220,000.

The assassin in turn hired another assassin to do the job and paid him £110,000. Since the pay seems to be quite a lot of money, the second assassin too hired another assassin and paid £30,000, making it three assasins in the link.

The third assassin felt it's easier to give the job to another assassin. So he outsourced the job to another assassin and paid £22,000.

In the same pattern, the fourth assassin hired another assassin and paid him £11,000.

But instead of doing the job, the 5th assassin entered an agreement with the man he was supposed to kill. He asked the man to fake his death.

He then went back to the assassin who hired him, claimed the job had been done and collected his pay. The victim reported the case to the police and all the assassins were arrested.

All six men were convicted of intentional homicide and given prison sentences up to five years.

We all know Donald Trump is shameless, but he isn't the first shameless, crazy American president.

Before Trump, there was Lydon B. Johnson.

One of the things Johnson was famous for in the anals of US presidential history, is his ability to show anyone his unclothedness.

At one time when a reporter asked him why US is involved in the war in Vietnam, Johnson unzipped his trousers, pulled out his pen!$ and said: "This is why."

Sometimes if someone is having a conversation with him and he wants to use the bathroom, he drags the person into the bathroom so they can continue the conversation there.

One time he decided to urinate in public by the side of the road and secret service agents had to shield him from public view. While urinating, a gust of wind blew his urine on the leg of one of the secret service men. When the agent told the president that he was urinating on his leg, Johnson said, “"That's all right, son. It's my prerogative."

After a 1964 Presidential campaign event, Johnson invited White House reporter Frank Cormier onto Air Force One to hold an interview. Johnson claimed it was a hot day and he was feeling too much heat so he stripped naked and completed the interview that way.

Marilyn Monroe and the Philandering Kennedy Brothers

John F Kennedy, 35th US President, was an exceptional womanizer and a gifted adulterer. Respecting the sanctity of his marriage wasn't a virtue he was known for.

As president, he slept with uncountable number of women in and outside the White House. Actresses, secretaries, employees, prostitutes, singers, politicians, name it. Kennedy slept with women in almost all spheres of life.

White House historians have since agreed that it's impossible to know the number of women JFK had an affair with while he was president.

One dark side of his uncountable affairs with high-profile women, is the one he had with Marilyn Monroe— one of the most beautiful actresses of the 20th century.

What led to the whirlpool of romance started in 1961. That year, Kennedy attended a Christmas party in his sister's home without his wife, Jackie. At the party, he got alone with Marilyn Monroe.

They had $e.x, soaked together in a tub, showered each other with champagne and were caught on tape by a private investigator. The hot romance that night left Marilyn Monroe to believe that JFK was in love with her. She even believed he was going to divorce his wife to marry her.

Far from the truth.

JFK caught a whiff of her plans and he passed her on to his younger brother, Bobby. Bobby made it clear JFK wasn't going to marry her. And he went on to have a passionate affair with her too. Shortly after, Marilyn Monroe had feelings for Bobby and was talking of marrying him.

Obviously, Marilyn Monroe's emotional delusions were becoming problems for the President and the Kennedy family.

So, on August 4, 1962, Bobby travelled to Los Angeles just to have a meeting with Marilyn Monroe and tell her that their relationship was over.

She killed herself few hours later by overdosing on barbiturates.

It's sad that one of the most beautiful, famous women of the 20th century will end her life because she couldn't get love from two womanizing brothers, when there were thousands of loyal men willing to do anything to marry her.

MEET OMAIMA NELSON THE WOMAN WHO KILLED AND ATE HER HUSBAND

Born in Egypt 1968, Omaima Nelson moved to California, US where she pursued her modelling career.

At 23 she met her husband Bill Nelson who was a pilot, the pair were so in love and said to have gotten married only a few days after their meeting.

Seems marriage didn't go as rosy as Omaima expected as she claimed to have been sexually abused by her husband, she also added that he had once thrown her pet cat out of his moving car, Yes, that was too much for Omaima to take and instead of leaving she opted for her cruel revenge.

On Thanksgiving day in 1991 Omaima stabbed her husband with a scissor then started beating him with Pressing iron just to make sure he died, after she confirmed his death, she disembamed his body. She fried his head and cooked his hands to remove his finger nails then mixed his left over body part with thanksgiving turkey and disposed it in a trash can!

Seemed like Omaima wasn't satisfied with just mudering her husband as she went further to castrated him in revenge for all his assualts, She also confessed to her psychiatrist that she cooked her husband ribs in barbecue sauce and ate it, a confession she later denied.

Even though she claimed the murder was in self-defense many speculated it was done in a bid to rob her husband.

She was convicted of second degree murder in 1993 and sentenced to 27 years imprisonment at the Central California Women's Facility in Chowchilla, California, US where she is currently serving.

TimeArena:
This is Sir Jai Singh Prabhakar GCSI GCIE, he was the Maharaja of the princely state of Alwar, India.

In 1920, he decided to visit the UK. While in London, he decided to go inside a Rolls Royce showroom one morning during one of his strolls.

He went incognito and was dressed like an ordinary English man. He was judged by the way he looked and the Rolls Royce employees did not entertain his queries professionally. They went as far as showing him the exit door.

The Maharaja was pissed, and when he got back to his hotel, he immediately asked that an official visit to the showroom be arranged.

This time he went to the showroom with heavy jewels and fine embellished royal outfit and an attending force of many subordinates. He was welcomed with open arms and was even granted a red carpet.

He brought raw cash and bought all six cars exhibited and paid for their delivery to India. When the cars got to India, the Maharaja handed them over to the waste department of the municipality and had them sweep the streets of New Delhi with these luxury pieces.

Rolls Royce heard of the mistreatment of Maharaj as their cars started getting associated with garbage collection. They were forced to offered Jai Singh a sincere apology in the form of six brand new cars and a promise of rightful treatment. This finally put a stop to the Maharaja’s anger and the cars were returned to their old glory.

Men sef! I wonder what would have endear them to this woman

Zana of Abkhazia

There are mamy stories of persons who lived outside civilization and how wild they acted. Among them all, the story of Zana the Apewoman stood out.

Zana was described as a six-foot, six-inches tall woman discovered in the Caucasus mountains between Georgia and Russia. In 1880 she was captured by local hunters. Zana behaved like a wild animal and as such was was kept in a cage. It is said that she dug a hole in the ground and slept in it for the first three years.

After three years she was tethered at first, but then was let loose to walk around and wonder. Like a well trained dog, she never went far from where she received food. She did not like living indoors and preferred to sleep in a hole in the ground.

Description

Zana's skin was dark and her whole body was covered with reddish-black hair.

She was very tall, broad, and had huge breasts and buttocks with very muscular arms and legs.

She never learned to speak, instead she made inarticulate sounds and mutterings. She, however, knew her name and carried out many commands.

Zana was said to be too fast she could outrun a horse, and could swim across the wild Makva River even when it rose in a violent high tide.

She was very strong and could lift incredible amounts. She preferred to walk naked even in the winter, tearing dresses that she was given into shreds.

Children

This may not sit down well with anyone, but Zana got pregnant by the men of the village.

Zana had four children who grew up to be normal speaking men and women. The oldest son was named Dzhanda, the oldest girl Kodzhanar, the second girl Gamsa and the youngest boy Khwit, he died in 1954.

Dust and Dust Mites

You may know that there are different types of dust. What you may not know is that the dust in your room is different from the dust on your bed. The dust on your bed is different from the one in your kitchen.

Among other things not mentioned here, dust is a combination of sand, insect waste, and the dead skin we shed.

The dead skin we shed each year would be enough to fill a small flour bag. But most of our dead skin is drained in bathwater or eaten by dust mites.

As you can see from the picture, dust mites are tiny, fat, and have eight legs. They are members of the spider family. These tiny creatures are on your bed, in your wardrobe and every other place in your home. But they won't bite you.

If you take a teaspoon of dust, it may contain 1,000 dust mites and 250,000 drops of their faeces. If you are allergic to dust, it's the faeces (s.h.it) of these tiny insects that causes the allergy
