TOP 10 : Most Interesting Facts Floating Across The Web

- 3 comments
Hello readers, First of all my apologies, I have been really busy in the past so couldn’t upload much posts.
This post is all about facts that are most popular on the web. Fact lovers may have read some but here I’ve tried to compile the most fresh and interesting ones. Also there may be little information after each fact so that you may not be surrounded by questions later on.
So without further delay, lets start…

10. Morgan Freeman:

Morgan Freeman


Actor Morgan has been nominated for or has won more awards than movies he has been starred in.
Comments: He needs no description. World famous morgan freeman is a very talented actor, film director and narrator. Some of his famous performances are in Street Smart, Driving Miss Daisy, The Shawshank Redemption and Invictus. He won a academy award for his performance in Million Dollar Baby.

9. Albert Einstein:

Einstein and Bee theory


One of the legendary physicists Albert Einstein once remarked,” If honey bees were to disappear from Earth, humans would be dead within 4 years.”
This may be true to an extent as honey bees play a major role in pollination. No or very little pollination means no more plants i.e. plants will get extinct at a very fast pace and as we all know every animal on this earth is directly or indirectly dependent on the plant life. Even if you claim to be pure non-vegetarian then for your information the animals you eat (cocks, hen, pigs, cows etc.) are all dependent on plants so you’re too indirectly dependent on plant life. Now it makes sense, doesn’t it?

8. Bank Robber:

Good Guy Floyd


A bank robber named “Pretty Boy” Floyd was known for destroying mortgage papers on heists, freeing 100s of people from property debts.

Good guy Floyd. Debts are the worst things in life, aren’t they? Its seldom they turn out good for you but most of the times you are surrounded by debts and fall in a debt trap which ultimately leads to more stress and tension further deteriorating health and ultimately leading to a tragic death and sometimes suicide.
Floyd did all this work in 1930s at the time of The Great Depression so according to me he did a good job although your opinion may be different..



7. Money:

US$10 $_$


If you have no debts and US $10 in pocket, you have more wealth than 25% of the Americans. 
As I said above debts are not good really. They not only lead to mental stress but also to emotional and physical stress.

6. Eminem:

Eminem


When “Lose Yourself” won the Academy Award, Eminem was sleeping at that time because he didn’t think he would win.
Let me tell you before you bombard the comment section with “What is an Academy Award?” Its now known as Oscar. Back then its name was “Academy Award” but now we all know what is an Oscar and how does it feel when someone of your country gets an Oscar.
Eminem is again a very talented artist. If we keep aside some of his songs then probably he is the best rapper of all time. Wonderful voice, meaningful lyrics and a song with message that is exactly “Lose Yourself”
*Oh wait! Let me change my song..*

5. Bruce Lee:

Bruce Lee


Bruce Lee was so quick that he could grab a coin out of your hand and replace it with another coin even before you close your fist.
Really I wish I was half as swift as he is, atleast I could finish my assignments on time. He was really that quick sometimes he is referred to as the greatest martial arts artist.


4. Bill Gates:

Bill Gates


Bill Gates scored a near perfect score on his SAT exam 1590/1600 which at that time was referred to as exceptionally intelligent.
Now you know how he managed to be one of the richest in the world all these years. It won’t be wrong if I say he was a prodigy. He literally revolutionized our way of living, the way we work, spend time or play he changed everything.

3. Polar Bear fear in Canada:

See this picture is one of the examples


Residents of Churchill, Canada leave their cars unlocked to offer an escape for pedestrians who might encounter Polar Bears on Main Street.
That is a really good deed. But we can expect more robberies there ;)

2. Titanic:

Titanic survivors on Rescue boat


Titanic survivors were charged US $1 per WORD to send TELEGRAMS from their life boat. One man used his last dollar to send the word “SAFE” to his mother.
Really this fact makes you wonder how harsh and cruel world can get in your bad times.

1. British Soldier:

A scene from World War


A British soldier who fought in both World Wars was shot in the face, head, ankle, leg, hip and ear, survived in a plane crash, tunneled out of a POW(Prisoner of War) camp, and bit off his own fingers when doctor wouldn’t amputate them. He later said,” Frankly I had enjoyed the war.”

I shouldn’t really comment but: HAHAHA! This was ultimate. I laughed at this literally and its perfect example of the saying “Don’t get scared of the hurdles in your life.”
By the way, this guy was extremely lucky(to have survived all this) should have bought a lottery ticket, who knows he could have hit a jackpot lol

This is the end for the week folks. Goodbye and Goodluck. Feel free to enlighten me with your knowledge in the comments. Your opinion is really valuable to me.
Share this post with your friends please! Just takes a couple of seconds. :D

Daniel Radcliffe Annoys Paparazzi, wears same outfit for 6 months

- 6 comments
Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe once enjoyed annoying the paparazzi in London - for six months he deliberately wore the same clothes when leaving the theatre so photographs would be worthless.
The 17-year-old was greeted by photographers each night outside the Gielgud Theatre during his stint in controversial West End play Equus, where the teenage actor disrobed onstage every night.
Radcliffe quickly realised newspaper and magazine editors wouldn't publish photos of him wearing the same outfit night after night, because it would look like the pictures were taken on the same day.
He says, "They (the paparazzi) were outside the theatre every single night, but we came up with a cunning ruse.
"I would wear the same outfit every time - a different T-shirt underneath, but I'd wear the
same jacket and zip it up so they couldn't see what I was wearing underneath, and the
same hat. " So they could take pictures for six months, but it would look like the same day, so they (photos) became unpublishable. Which was hilarious, because there's nothing better than seeing paparazzi getting really frustrated."

Omar Borkan Al Gala, deported from Saudi for being too handsome

- 0 comments


Meet Omar Borkan Al Gala , the hunk from UAE deported from Saudi Arabia because officers of the country's morality police, fearing for the safety of their women, thought he was too handsome to be allowed to stay.

According to Jezebel, Omar Borkan Al Gala, a Dubai-based actor, photographer and poet, was one of three men from the UAE attending the Jenadriyah Heritage and Cultural Festival in Riyadh as delegates.

Digital Journal reported that he and his colleagues were kicked out Saudi Arabia because they was just too handsome to be allowed to stay and expose modest Saudi Arabian women to unaccustomed carnal temptations.

News that some UAE men were kicked out of the conservative Sunni kingdom out of fear of exposing women to spiritual dangers of carnal lust first appeared in the Arabic newspaper Elaph. According to Elaph: "A festival official said the three Emiratis were taken out on the grounds they are too handsome and that the Commission members feared female visitors could fall for them."

Both Elaph and Sky Dancing Blog reported that Al Gala was at the UAE's pavilion at the Riyad festival when an incident involving a well known UAE female singer, Aryam, led to the feared religious morality police, the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, storming the UAE pavilion and unceremoniously bundling him and his colleagues out of the festival and out of the kingdom entirely!

Sky Dancing Blog confirmed Aryam went to the UAE pavilion but the artiste explained she visited the pavilion as a delegate of the UAE. According to Sky Dancing Blog, Aryam said she was invited by the Abu Dhabi Culture and Tourism Authority.

School Plays Bieber's 'Baby' As Fundraiser: Students Pay To Make It Stop

- 0 comments



A suburban Chicago high school fundraising to save a popular arts center is motivating students to donate with an earsplitting incentive: pay up and they'll stop blasting Justin Bieber's "Baby" during passing periods.
Evanston Township High School seniors Charlotte Runzel and Jesse Chatz convinced school administrators to let them play the popstar's biggest hit over the loudspeakers for one week, or until they'd raised $1,000, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Within three days, students had coughed up enough cash to silence the Canadian singer's repetitive single.
Between Monday and Wednesday, the pop song, which features tween idol Justin Bieber singing the word "baby" 54 times, played through around 20 times in between classes, NBC Chicago reports. The school reportedly rebuffed student complaints, encouraging ETHS kids to play along and donate money to make the music stop.
Boocoo Cultural Center and Cafe, the high school's nonprofit beneficiary, hosts music classes, live performances and entertainment events, and offers computer labs and recording space to the Evanston community. 
"People who work here ... are just incredibly moved by the fact that these kids came to us and wanted to help out," Boocoo’s administrator Alicia Hempfling told the Sun-Times. She says the coffee shop will use the donations to provide free performance spaces for students to give their senior presentations.
