Picking up our five year old daughter from kindergarten, I am flagged down by the school’s principal. He wordlessly hands me a drawing made by my daughter in art class. His facial expression is a combination of awkward embarrassment, empathy and a bit of consternation. That evening my wife and I examined the artwork and discussed at length what to do. Many minutes of strategizing resulted in the following conversation with our daughter as she sat on mommy’s lap at the kitchen table - me, placing the artwork on the table: “Hey, honey, tell me about this picture you drew at school today!” daughter: “Oh, I love that one! Do you like it?” me: “I do! Can you tell me about it?” daughter: “I drew it in art class!” me: "Good! Sooo, tell me what you were drawing…” daughter: “We were drawing our favorite things!” My wife's eyebrows shoot up. My brows furrow and I try mightily to play it off as if I'm carefully examining the picture. me: “That sounds fun. Wh...

Jean Hilliard had been declared a medical miracle by doctors after she recovered from being frozen for six hours in subzero temperatures of -22 degrees centigrade. On the night of Dec. 20, 1980, 19-year-old Jean Hilliard's car hit the ditch. She tried to walk for help. She was found in the morning in the front yard of a local cattle rancher — frozen solid as a log. The attending medical staff had little hope for the teenager. Her skin was so frozen that they couldn’t pierce it with hypodermic needles — the needles just broke on contact. Her body temperature was so low that it didn’t register on a thermometer. Her face was an ashen-gray color and her eyes didn’t respond to changes in light. Even though they figured she was dead, medical staff decided to gradually warm up her body with heating pads. Physicians determined her temperature was 88 degrees, a full 10 degrees below normal. Eventually, they got a faint pulse of 12 beats per minute. Jean hilliard today👇

Pretty bizarre...this story. Every single evening, this woman would sleep with her pet python. When she’d sleep on her stomach, her beloved python would spread out its body from her head to her toes. It was a bonding moment that she cherished with her snake. Until she noticed something was wrong. After weeks of sleeping with the woman in her bed, the python suddenly stopped eating. She started to grow concerned and took the snake to the veterinarian to see why it was refusing meal. After hearing that the woman and the python sleep together every evening, the vet was completely taken aback. He asked the woman if the snake sprawls out along her body or curls up around her at times. She confirmed that the python sprawled out. The vet began to explain to the woman that the snake was actually sizing her up. Every time the snake was sprawling itself along her body, it was actually a bit of rehearsal of sorts. and it has been starving itself to get enough space in the stomach b...

Many decades ago a good friend got in my car. We were heading to a halloween party. The smell was truly awful and never had been an issue with him before. While driving along, with windows wide open, I asked him if he wanted to shower at our place. Nope, he just showered. So I wondered if it was the costume. He got really drunk that night and slept in a spare, empty room. The next morning the smell in the room was that of rotted meat. I took him home. We couldn’t get the smell out of the room it was putrid. My wife’s father had a bottle of stuff they use in morgues and that helped some but it took a lot of time with the windows open to get rid of the smell. FYI I’m gagging right now while writing this. A month or two later Jimmy went into the hospital. He was a young, severe alcoholic and we figured it was related. He would not tell us what was wrong and didn’t want any visitors but he’d call every week or two saying hi. He was in the hospital for months. Within the year he die...

Answering question of which celebrity had the most horrifying secret life, a Nigerian doctor wrote: The King of pop, who passed away in 2009 at the age of 50. His death shook the world. He led such a secret life and never allowed anyone, not even his doctors to see certain parts of body, especially his feet. He wore a pair of socks to hide his feet, his feet were his magic. They brought the fame and the money. Everyone loved the moves they produced Autopsy report revealed that those feet were seriously deformed possibly from the excessive dance stunts. They were calloused and looked decayed, and must have been very painful. He never allowed anyone near them, he must have been ashamed of them.

"the cause of death is acute propofol intoxication," Even though his doctor was heavily blamed for his death, Michael...
