The whole planet trembled for nine days after a glacier in Greenland collapsed and crashed into the sea. In September 2023, a mountain peak in Greenland collapsed into Dickson Fjord after the glacier holding it up melted away. The landslide unleashed a mega-tsunami with an initial wave nearly 656 feet (200 meters) high – taller than a skyscraper. The water sloshed violently back and forth in the fjord, sending out a seismic signal so unusual that scientists at first labeled it a “USO” – an unidentified seismic object. Unlike an earthquake, which rumbles for minutes or hours, this signal pulsed across the planet for more than a week. It took 68 scientists from 40 institutions to solve the mystery. Their analysis showed that 25 million cubic meters (880 million cubic feet) of rock and ice had plunged into the fjord, generating waves that resonated like a giant bell and vibrated the Earth itself.

On September 29, 1978, a 15-year-old runaway named Mary Vincent decided to hitchhike from Soquel, California on her way to visit her grandfather in Corona, which was about 400 miles away. She accepted a ride from Lawrence Singleton, a 50-year-old man who initially seemed harmless. Vincent quickly became suspicious when Singleton put his hand on her neck and asked her if she was ill, but she shrugged it off and continued the ride. At some point, Vincent fell asleep — and when she woke up, she realized that they were heading in the completely wrong direction. Vincent found a sharp stick in the backseat and pointed it at Singleton, ordering him to turn the car around. To her surprise, he did. However, when they stopped for a bathroom break soon afterward, Singleton hit Vincent in the head as she leaned down to tie her shoe and dragged her into the back of his van, where he repeatedly raped her. When Vincent begged Singleton to let her go, he cut off both of her arms below the elbow with a hatchet and told her, "Okay, now you're free." Singleton then dumped her in a canyon, where he left her for dead. But against all odds, she escaped.

Did you know that hyenas endure one of the most dangerous and painful births in the entire animal kingdom? Female hyenas are born with a pseudo-penis — an elongated clitoris that looks almost identical to a male’s organ. Their labia are fused, forming what appears to be a scrotum. When it’s time to give birth, the cub must pass through this extremely narrow canal. In most first-time mothers, the pseudo-penis ruptures during labor. Tragically, many cubs suffocate before they can be born, and some mothers don’t survive their first delivery.

Would you willingly put this on your car? In Japan, the Kōreisha mark, or "aged driver sign," is a statutory indicator for elderly drivers. Established under the Road Traffic Law, this symbol is recommended for drivers aged 70 and above if their age might impact their driving ability. For those aged 75 and over, displaying the mark is mandatory. It helps integrate elderly drivers safely into urban traffic without stigmatization.

A mysterious character known as the "Leatherman" wandered a 365-mile route in the 1800s without any clear reason. His real name, origins, or the purpose of his travels remained unknown, yet he became a beloved local figure. Dressed in a heavy outfit crafted from old leather boots and ties, weighing over 60 pounds, the Leatherman braved all weather conditions and seasons. He was so punctual in his travels between the Hudson and Connecticut rivers, covering 40 small towns every 34 days, that locals could tell the time by his location. He famously slept in caves, maintaining a strict schedule. The Leatherman communicated little, only making a few sounds in English or French, but was warmly anticipated in each town he visited. Being visited by him was seen as an honor, and children were eager to offer him food during his stops. After his death, the Leatherman's grave became a site of interest, leading to its relocation by a historical society to prevent accidents. In 2011, an attempt to uncover his identity through DNA testing failed when it was discovered his remains were gone, deepening the mystery around him.

In 2016, in a Cincinnati courtroom, 23-year-old Jaleel Smith-Riley wept as he was sentenced to life without parole for the 2013 m*rder of 22-year-old Porshia Brooks during a botched robbery in Norwood, Ohio. He had asked to change his plea and expressed remorse, but Judge Barry Kubicki denied the request, citing the crime’s severity. At sentencing, Brooks’ mother held her daughter’s ashes, while her sister called the punishment just, a reflection of the family’s grief.
