India's Gurkha soldiers are regarded as one of the most badass military regiments in the world. They carry massive curved knives called kukri, and their motto is "Better to die than be a coward," which is something I've only said when walking back to a buffet. Sometimes, though, proving your bravery on the battlefield can be tricky, what with the whole potentially dying thing.
That's likely why one group of Gurkhas decided it was easier to just stage an elaborate battle -- all the credit, none of the risk. So in 2003, a battalion from the 5 Gurkha Rifles Regiment claimed they fought off Pakistani troops on the 21,000-foot Siachen glacier in northern Kashmir. They even had video footage of the dramatic encounter, during which they supposedly killed 52 opposing soldiers and blew up bunkers. Obviously, commanders were impressed. They had displayed superhuman skills, the kind of stuff you only see when you've been playing a new Call Of Duty for two weeks and your friend only got their copy this afternoon.



The lie was exposed after a major who had, incredibly, gotten wounded during the fake battle, blew the whistle on it. A commander also became suspicious of the abnormally high level of kills reported. Of course, there was also the fact that Pakistani forces didn't seem bothered by, or even aware of, their spectacular defeat, and that some of the footage was missing a common feature of battle: gunshots.
After an investigation, the country's defense ministry found that Indian soldiers were pretending to be dead Pakistani troops. The same officials also admitted that military operations based on inflated or false information is kind of a common thing. It's just that most don't go as far as to choreograph an action scene to back up their claim. Maybe in the future, soldiers on the ground will fight entire wars this way, just faking for the cameras until their leaders decide to negotiate

In 1998, Tim Johnson was known as being a fantastic manager in Major League Baseball, and this was partly due to his motivational speaking skills. During his time with the Toronto Blue Jays, he'd pump up players with stories from his time in Vietnam serving with the Marine Corps. Comparing anything to war is Baby's First Metaphor, but hey, if it helps win games and earn millions of dollars, what's the harm? 3 A Prank Magic Act Turned Into A Riot

At first, Johnson offered very few details . When asked about it, he said, "I don't talk much about it. I never do. It's something that's past. Let it be." I can only assume that he followed up by adjusting his Aviators and turning toward a sunset. However, these generalities eventually turned into specifics like wading through rice paddies, dealing with Agent Orange, and "killing a girl and her little brother because they were in the line of fire." Nothing like accidental child murder to hone those fastballs!
Pitcher Roger Clemens felt so inspired that he decided to get Johnson a custom motorcycle helmet with his unit logo on it as a birthday gift. Clemens checked around, but couldn't find which unit his manager served under, so he called Johnson's wife. Since they apparently never talked
Full Metal Jacket at the dinner table, she told Clemens that it never happened. Word spread, and soon the media got wind of the sweet smell of bullshit in the morning.
It turned out Johnson had indeed served in the Marine Corps, but he was stationed in California and never saw combat. After a drawn-out and very public shaming, Johnson was fired from the Blue Jays in 1999, and his career hasn't recovered in the two decades since. He found work managing a team in Mexico, where reportedly one cheeky sports agent asked whether he was "telling his players he fought at the Alamo."

Half of the benefit of being rich is that you can just Bleep with people. Thus, in 1749, a ruse was apparently hatched by two bored rich people, the Duke of Portland and Earl of Chesterfield. Probably between sips of orphan blood, the Duke remarked that he could "find fools enough in London to fill a playhouse ..." It's definitely a weird bet, but when you're an absurdly wealthy person in the 18th century, it's either this or hunting people on an island for sport.

So soon enough, an audience had filled London's New Theatre. A newspaper ad has promised that an unbelievable trick was about to occur: A magician was going to jump inside of a wine bottle. The advertisement promised he would even sing a song as part of this Ant-Man act, and "during his stay in the bottle any person may handle it." A sellout crowd gathered to witness what can only be described as a man spitting in the face of God and science alike.
Of course, since this was all a hoax to test people's gullibility, there was no magician. After waiting for a while, the audience started to get steadily angrier, and finally decided to make their own entertainment. After someone threw a candle on stage in protest, the audience began to tear up the seats and benches. They took everything that they could carry out of the theater and lit it on fire in the streets, stole the box office receipts, and even ripped the curtain down to use it as a makeshift flag. All in the name of a magic show that didn't happen.




You can only imagine the consequences for the two men behind the fiasco. And I mean literally that you can only imagine them, because there were none. It would be years before they would even be suspected as the pranksters, and it appears they suffered no punishment whatsoever. Hell, to them, the whole riot thing probably just made it funnier.

In 2015, Canadian Forces got a tip that there was a terrorist living in Alberta. In an email and Facebook message, Hana Bedhiafi told authorities that her sister's fiance was an extremist who was planning to blow up buildings. The government reacted as it always does when even the flimsiest of terrorist threats turn up: More than 20 police units were assigned to the case, including Canada's National Security Enforcement Team, bomb disposal experts, and Arabic translators. 5 A Guy Faked A Kidnapping To Get Drunk With His Friends, Went To Jail

Maybe Bedhiafi misheard him on the phone boasting that his new track was blowing up on SoundCloud?

No, she made the dangerously stupid report in order to break up the engagement. You know, by getting her sister's fiance tagged as an enemy of the state. In court, she said, "My sister was my best friend and then one day she was gone [to live with her future husband]. I was so devastated. It happened so quickly and then I did something foolish and terrible. I ended up thinking of no one but myself." Side note: This is a great premise for

five lies that backfired badly

been taken by two kidnappers while getting food for their evening tea. Doyle thought the whole thing was a joke, the ol' "love of my life has been violently taken against his will" prank. Who hasn't gotten that phone call?
Then they called again, threatening to break Ford's legs, cut off his genitals, and throw boiling water on him. Shouts could be heard in the background as a terrified Ford relayed his captors' demands: 80 pounds. Doyle transferred the oddly specific amount of money to a designated account. It was everything she had , which makes what happens next significantly sadder
Fearing for the father of their future child, she called the police, launching a major 24-hour investigation. Armed officers scoured the city, a helicopter took to the sky, and a special negotiator was on standby. Things looked grim. And then early the next day, miraculously, Ford came home. Had he fought off his attackers, using his burgeoning Dad Strength to go all John Wick on a couple of crooks? Nope. He'd staged the whole thing to get plastered with his friends.
Even though this is the kind of scheme that is a staple of slapstick comedies, it turns out that this is actually illegal, for some reason. Ford was arrested immediately, with officers showing him security camera footage of him and his buddies leaving a shop carrying booze. Ford was sentenced to 16 weeks, and his girlfriend later told media, "He was a total idiot. I've made that clear to him. But it was one-off and our relationship is otherwise very strong. I know Leigh loves me and he has done his best to make things up to me." Score one for the power of love! Maybe!

Meet The World's Most Evil Tree, Which Wants To
If there's one thing in nature that no one needs to be afraid of, it's "trees", right? Trees are the most harmless things possible - heck, nature-lovers are even called "tree-huggers"! Good ol' trees, nature's hug-buddies.
Except the manchineel tree, that is. The manchineel tree has taken our naive trust of trees and used it to betray us all. While it looks innocent enough, it hides a dark secret: it's a tree that's trying to murder you.
See that? That's the fruit of a manchineel tree - a little apple-looking piece of fruit that looks like it's probably pretty tasty. But if you've been paying attention to literally any of this article so far, you can probably guess what I'm going to say next: it actually IS pretty tasty. Oh wait, you probably didn't see that coming. Well, the common traits is that they're okay tasting, maybe a little spicy. But the more important thing is that they're deadly - so deadly that they're commonly known as the "manzanilla de la muerte" ("little apple of death", due to the amount of poison held within.
Heck, all of the tree is poisonous. And I mean that - literally every part of the tree is riddled with toxins and poisons , some of which have never even been identified.
Fruit: remember how I talked about the sweet 'n spicy taste of these little nuggets of death before? Well, I should elaborate - that "slightly spicy" taste quickly morphs into an intense burning sensation in your throat as it begins to feel like your esophagus is being torn apart from the inside and gradually gets so bad that you won't be able to swallow solid food. And that's the NOT SO BAD part - once the fruit is ingested, your stomach will have to deal with bleeding and bacterial superinfection, because APPARENTLY THE TERM "SUPERINFECTION" IS AN ACTUAL THING.
Sap: Oh hey, how bad could sap be, right? PRETTY GODDAMN BAD, APPARENTLY. It can start out with something as simple as some allergic dermatitis (basically a limited rash wherever the sap came into contact with your skin), but it gets a lot worse from there - it will cause blistering of the skin, it can blind you if you get it in your eye, and will generally mess up your day pretty bad . This stuff's so damaging, it's been known to ruin paint jobs on cars.
Other Stuff: Whatever you do, don't BURN these trees or wood from the tree - the smoke and vapors can cause eye damage or even kill you if you breathe enough in. Hell, even standing under the tree when it's raining is insanely dangerous - if any of the sap gets mixed in with the rainwater, it'll mess up your skin something fierce.
And in case this all just sounds unbelievable to you, here's what it did to one poor guy named Adam, who ruined everything (by getting the tree sap in his eyes and mouth):
In case you were curious why he was filming his (obviously painful) reaction to the world's most evil tree:
Yeah I was thrashing around in pain, until I cracked a joke and felt emotionally better. That's why I picked up my camera and decided to chronicle my adventure. The thing about unbelievable pain is that sometimes it's so unbelievable that you can't believe it and there is some humor in that. For people like me anyway.
So if you're ever anywhere between Florida and northern areas of South America, WATCH THE HELL OUT FOR THIS MURDERTREE.

INEC FRAUD?

LET'S TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THAT YOBE STATE RESULT !

Accredited votes: 601,056
Total votes cast: 586,137

Rejected votes: 226,772
APC: 497,914
PDP: 50,763

1. Accredited votes less votes cast: 601,056 - 586,137 = 14,919 (This represents the number of persons who were accredited, who collected ballot papers but for some reasons did not vote).

2. APC Votes plus PDP Votes plus rejected votes: 497,914 + 50,763 + 226,772 = 775,449. (So, without factoring in the sum of the votes of the margin parties, the votes recorded at the polls were in excess of accredited votes by 174,393. (I.e. 174,393 persons who did not even show up at the polls voted In Yobe)

You mean, there are people who can see beyond this physical existence?
How did they come to this ultimate conclusion that God do not exist or there are no spirit God?

How did theists come to the conclusion that a spirit God exist?
It's simple!
They saw it in their holy books and believe that he exist.

Do atheists have some kind of record or book to depend on, in order to acertain their position that there is no spirit God?
Its so frustrating that there is no such record among atheists,they depend on their instinct which is not reliable.

And you know how important a record of what has happened in the past is necessary to sustain an idea or belief.

For instance, lets look at the record christians have to show as an evidence that a spirit God exist which is the Bible.

Jesus Christ about 2000 years ago predicted in one of his parables that christianity is going to be the largest religion on earth matthew 13:31-32

Now google today
Which religion is the largest religion on earth, no doubt it is christianity.

Can a mere man make a prediction 2000 years ago and we see the prediction happening today when we google it?
It takes only a spirit God to do that!!

Therefore God exist.

Atheists, what are your proves or evidence that a spirit God do not exist?

A sincere question

People need guidiance and want to believe anything. Spiritual leaders are entrusted with the respobsibility of guidiance thesis followers . Like every other profession, conflict of interest many arise placing not emphasis to place personal interest and church growth and financial survival above the interest of vulnurable truth seekers. Betraying such trust is possible.

Like a lady who falls in love for the first time, first heart break could create a devastating experience and pish her into statements Like "all men are dogs never to be trusted".. Similarly, taking advantage of vulnurable seekers could push one into irreligiosity and atheism.

Martinez39:
When you ask some christians why Yahweh wouldn't prove himself, you hear "god won't stoop so low to prove himself to man?" Seriously?

How does god proving himself to man means that he is stooping low? God wants you to be saved and he cared enough about man to go through torture and tears on the cross, so how is proving himself equivalent to stoop so low? Nevermind that he proved himself to Gideon.

Please, who can answer this? How is that logic valid?
