She is Mary Ann Bevan, who was known as the “ugliest woman in the world.” But when you know her life, you'll call her the “most beautiful person in the world.” Mary Ann suffered from acromegaly, due to which she had abnormal growth and facial distortion. After the death of her husband, with no breadwinner in the house, accumulating debts, and the financial needs of her four children, she decided to enter the humiliating contest and won the offensive title of “ugliest woman in the world.” Later, she was hired by a circus and toured different cities where people came to laugh at and humiliate her. She endured the ridicule of others in order to raise her children and give them a better quality of life. She died in 1933.

Bob Ross painted roughly 30,000 works in his lifetime - nearly triple Picasso's output. For each of his 381 TV episodes he painted three versions of the same scene: one before the camera, one on air, one for the books. Today most of them sit in cardboard boxes in a Virginia warehouse owned by Bob Ross Inc., which has never sold a single one. The Smithsonian holds four.

In 2017, a man created a fake restaurant called “The Shed at Dulwich” in his backyard and somehow made it the #1 rated restaurant in London on TripAdvisor. The place didn’t actually exist at first. He used fake reviews, staged photos, and exclusivity to build hype until thousands of people were trying to book tables. When he finally opened for one night, guests were served cheap microwave meals dressed up like gourmet food… and many still said it was amazing.

During the 2022 Buffalo blizzard, Jay Withey went door to door asking for shelter. Ten times, he was turned away. So he broke a window at Pine Hill School and led 24 stranded strangers inside, including seven elderly people whose cars had run out of fuel. He found cereal in the cafeteria, gym mats for makeshift beds, and gave everyone a way to survive the night. Before he left, he wrote a note: “I’m terribly sorry about the window. I had to save everyone. Merry Christmas, Jay.” Police later asked the public to help find him. Not so they could arrest him. So they could thank him.

A strange new study discovered something scientists never expected: city birds seem to be more afraid of women than men. Researchers studied 37 species of birds living in European cities, including pigeons, sparrows, blackbirds, and magpies. In the experiment, both men and women slowly walked toward the birds while scientists measured the exact moment the birds decided to fly away. Surprisingly, the birds consistently allowed men to get much closer before taking off. On average, men could approach about 1 meter (3 feet) closer than women could. What makes the finding even stranger is that the researchers tried to rule out obvious explanations. The difference remained even when they considered clothing, height, appearance, and the way people approached the birds. Scientists honestly do not know why this happens. One possibility is that birds are noticing tiny details humans barely think about, such as posture, walking rhythm, scent, voice frequencies, or subtle body movements. Another theory is that city birds may have learned these reactions over generations of living around humans, but there is currently no proven explanation. The study highlights how intelligent and observant urban birds may actually be. Researchers say the results suggest birds pay extremely close attention to humans and may be able to recognize surprisingly subtle differences between people. Importantly, scientists are not saying women are “scarier.” The study only found that birds reacted differently during these experiments, and the reason remains a mystery even to the researchers themselves.

When the March 2011 Tsunami hit his home town of Ishinomaki, Hideaki Akaiwa was at work. Realising his wife was trapped in their home, he ignored the advice of professionals, who told him to wait for the army to arrive to provide search and rescue. Instead he found a wetsuit, jumped in the raging torrent - dodging cars, houses and other debris being dragged around by the powerful current, any of which could have killed him instantly - and navigated the now submerged streets in pitch dark, freezing water until he found his house. Swimming inside, he discovered his wife alive on the upper level with only a small amount of breathing room, and pulled her out to safety. If he had waited for the army, his wife of 20 years would be dead. Oh, and if that’s not enough badassery for one lifetime, Hideaki realised his mother was also unaccounted for, so jumped back in the water and managed to save her life also. For weeks after the disaster, Hideaki entered the water every day on a one-man search and rescue mission, saving countless lives and proving that two natural disasters in a single day - and insurmountable odds - can’t stand in the way of love. This man is a hero.
