On April 9, 2014 a 16-year-old student of Franklin Regional High School near Pittsburgh, USA attacked his classmates wounding 20 and leaving 4 in critical condition with Knife stabs.

The incidence is not isolated and every year we come across such more than bizarre, mind numbing incidences.

Some of the Deadliest School Massacres in History that will leave you startled by the end of the read:

10. Columbine High School Massacre, 13 Dead: April 20, 1999, 2 students Eric and Dylan murdered 12 students and a teacher at Columbine High School, Colorado USA. The duo was loaded with explosives and arms and injured over 2 dozen students. Both committed suicide in the school library.

Reason: The teenage assailants made preparation for this dreadful event for over a year without anyone, including parents and counselors, getting any hint of their horrific activities and behavioral changes. Theories around their being picked up at school, depression, violent games etc are the reasons under speculation.

Many strange archeological discoveries have been made in modern history.  Hundreds of artifacts have been unearthed that have baffled scientists and challenged modern man’s view of history.  Many of these objects have been labeled out of place artifacts or anachronisms.  These archeological discoveries are always controversial and the scientific community is extremely selective in what they accept as fact.  Every object on this list has been accused of being an elaborate hoax.  In many cases, a conspiracy is the only explanation, without an extensive rewriting of the world’s history books.  These artifacts tell a story of ancient civilizations, Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contracts, and mysterious technological advancements.  Many of these archeological discoveries challenge the scientific theory of evolution, as well as many religious beliefs.

Discovered: 1944

The Acámbaro Figures are a collection of small ceramic figurines allegedly found inAcámbaro, Guanajuato, Mexico.  They were discovered by Waldemar Julsrud in July of 1944.  According to accounts, Julsrud stumbled upon the artifacts while riding his horse in the Acámbaro area.  He hired a local farmer to dig up the remaining figures, paying him for each object he found.  Eventually, the farmer and his assistants discovered over 32,000 figures, which included representations of everything from dinosaurs to people from all over the world, including Egyptians, Sumerians, and bearded Caucasians.  The Acámbaro Figures have been cited as out of place artifacts, as they are clearly human made and portray a large variety of dinosaur species.  According to all history books, humans did not live in the time of the dinosaurs.  Upon the discovery of the figures, many creationists from all over the world proclaimed the artifacts legitimate.  If these figures are genuine, it could stand as credible evidence for the coexistence of dinosaurs and humans, which would severely damage the theory of evolution and offer support for the literal interpretation of the Bible.

Attempts have been made to date these figures using Thermoluminescence, or TL dating, and the results suggested a date around 2500 BCE.  A man named Don Patton claims he found radiocarbon dates for the figures ranging from 6500 years to 1500 years ago; however, the objects are in very good shape and show no characteristic evidence of having been in the ground for at least 1500 years. If they were authentic artifacts, they should be scratched and marred from the rocky soil, which is characteristic of other objects found in that area of Mexico.  Other supporters of the figures claim that the incredible detail of the dinosaurs suggest a firsthand experience with the creatures. The sheer number of the figures discovered is often cited as evidence for a hoax.  To date, no credible scholars of archaeology or paleontology accept the discovery as valid.

Discovered: 1938

The alleged story of the Dropa Stones is as follows. In 1938, an archeological expedition was sent to investigate a secluded area of the Baian-Kara-Ula Mountains on the border that divides China and Tibet.  The group discovered a series of caves at the summit of the mountains.  The caves contained a large collection of graves and the walls were decorated with drawings of people with elongated heads together with images of the sun, moon, and stars.  The archeologists uncovered the graves and discovered the remains of ancient beings.  The skeletons were a little more than three feet tall, with abnormally large skulls.  Inside of the tombs a collection of stone disks were recovered.  The disks were almost twelve inches in diameter, with a hole in the center.  The objects had a groove on the surface of the disk and spiraled outwards from the center hole forming a double spiral.  Closer inspection showed that the grooves were actually a line of small carvings or signs.

While trying to decide which ghost photos are the “best” is largely an exercise in subjectivity, it’s difficult to know which ones are the best with any degree of objectivity. These are the photos I consider the most authentic “captures” of ghosts ever caught on film, but I leave it to you to decide for yourself how real they may be. Of course, I realize that almost any photo can be hoaxed, but many of these were taken many years or even decades before digital cameras and the advent of Photoshop and other photo manipulation software came on the scene, making them somewhat more difficult to fake than it would be today.

Taken in 1946 in Queensland, Australia by a mother who was taking a picture of her teenage daughter’s grave. Nobody was in sight at the time, but when the picture was processed the image of a child appeared, apparently sitting on the grave. The mother does not recognize the child, thereby reducing (though not entirely eliminating) the possibility that it’s a double exposure.

This famous photo taken in 1924 apparently shows the faces of two recently deceased crewmen appearing in the waves alongside the merchant ship S.S. Watertown. Normally I’m not a big fan of faces appearing in grainy photos due to the brain’s tendency to make order out of chaos (known as “matrixing”) but this case is different in that the faces were seen by numerous members of the crew for several days beforehand and were positively identified as those of two crewmen who suffocated while cleaning out an oil tank a few days earlier. The Burns Detective Agency analyzed the negative for fakery and found none.

This famous photo of a young girl looking out from a raging fire was taken during a 1995 structure fire at Wem town hall in Shropshire, England. Shot from across the street by a local photographer, nothing unusual was seen at the time but once the negative was developed he noticed what appeared to be a young girl standing in the doorway of the burning building. Firemen found the photo so disturbing that they sifted through the ashes afterwards searching for the remains of a body but found nothing, leaving everyone wondering who the girl may have been. Not surprisingly, there is a bit of local folklore which claims that a young girl named Jane Churm accidentally burned the town hall to the ground in 1677 when she dropped a candle, and her ghost has been reputed to haunt Wem town hall ever since. Once a firebug, always a firebug I guess.

It’s seems like people have always been hardwired to laugh at the misfortune of others. It transcends all cultures, nations, and ages. As you read these words, a group of school kids in Hong Kong are peeing their pants laughing at a kid who did a faceplant into a mud puddle, somebody in Paris is guffawing at a guy getting a whifflebat to the crotch, and a grandma in Texas is chuckling under her breath at a cousin who doesn’t know his fly is undone. As long as it isn’t happening to you, personal humiliation can be totally hilarious.

Before the Internet, the only way to experience these hilarious events was to be in the right place at the right to time. But, now there is a whole slew of websites that document the hurts, humiliations, and downright stupidity of the human race and present it in an easily navigated format. Here are the 10 funniest websites that traffic in human misery:

The biggest retail chain in the world, WalMart offers its customers a wide variety of consumer goods at reasonable prices in convenient locations. According to the blogPeople of Walmart, it also is the last refuge for every freak and weirdo in the United States of America. Every day the site posts disturbing, yet fascinating, pictures of the outlandishly attired folks who shop at WalMart. The site has built up an archive of the unbelievably awful ways people dress even though they know other human beings will be able to see them. It’s revolting, funny, and strangely hypnotic. Don’t visit the site unless you have at least an hour to descend into the world of skin tight pants on 300 pound women, mullets of all shapes and sizes, and more pictures of old guys in drag than you ever thought possible. Also, it’s probably not a good idea to check it out on your lunch hour.

Everybody screws up sometimes. If we’re lucky, no one is around to see our mistakes and we can carry the failure buried deep within ourselves next to the guilt and shame. If we’re unlucky, some jerk is going to film the whole thing and put it onFailblog- a collection of people making stupid yet laugh-out-loud funny mistakes. There are tons of videos of dudes trying to jump off walls, do crazy bike tricks, or generally wow their friends with some amazing act of daredevilry that ends in gut-busting tragedy, but the real hilarity comes from the seemingly endless photos of mislabelled products and signs that apparently litter stores and restaurants across the nation. From terrible misspellings and grammar bombs to unintentional double entendres, Failblog shows that you don’t need a bike and ramp on your roof to screw up in a hilarious way. Although that can really help.

For those of you who don’t know it, Etsy.com is a website for people who want to sell their handmade crafts. For a small fee, they can put up ads that show the world the things they’ve made. Some of the stuff is great and was obviously made with care by people who really love making crafts. Unfortunately, a lot of the stuff is complete garbage. To save you the trouble of searching through it all, Regretsy.com combs through the crafts and finds the best of the worst. Whether it’s horrible clothing, ugly art, or just plain old junk, Regretsy.com finds it and brings it to you in all its cheap, kitschy glory. Not only is it an amazing collection of crap, but it’s also a great document of just how disillusioned people can be about their own talent.

Throughout our history, most civilizations have either met a slow demise or were wiped out by natural disasters or invasion. But there are a few societies whose disappearance has scholars truly stumped:

One of the first Mesoamerican societies, the Olmec inhabited the tropical lowlands of south-central Mexico. The first signs of the Olmec are around 1400 BC in the city of San Lorenzo, the main Olmec settlement which was supported by two other centers, Tenochtitlan and Potrero Nuevo. The Olmec were master builders with each of the major sites containing ceremonial courts, house mounds, large conical pyramids and stone monuments including the colossal head that they are most known for. The Olmec civilization relied heavily on trade, both between different Olmec regions and with other Mesoamerican societies. Because they were one of the earliest and most advanced Mesoamerican cultures at the time, they are often considered the mother culture of many other Mesoamerican cultures.

Where did they go?

Around 400 BC the eastern half of the Olmec’s lands was depopulated- possibly due to environmental changes. They may have also relocated after volcanic activity in the area. Another popular theory is that they were invaded, but no one knows whom the invaders might be.

The Nabateans were a Semitic culture that inhabited parts of Jordan, Canaan and Arabia from around the sixth century BC. They are most widely known as the builders of the city of Petra, which served as their capital. Petra is an impressive city carved out of the cliff side with the crown jewel being the Khazneh, or Treasury, a giant Greek inspired building. The Nabateans’ wealth was gained by being a major stop on a complex trading network, through which they traded ivory, silk, spices, precious metals, gems, incense, sugar perfume and medicine. Because of the extent of the trade route, the Nabatean culture was highly influenced by Hellenistic Greece, Rome, Arabia and Assyria. Unlike other societies of their time, there was no slavery and every member of society contributed in the work duties.
