Hector Enrique Gomez Jr.*, aged 72 at the time, was a Colombian National who was stopped at Miami airport in 1986 after he fell out of his wheelchair going through customs and started acting strangely in an effort to get back in it. American Customs agents noticed he could clearly walk fine, and became suspicious after the over-embellishment of truly being disabled. Gomez was taken for a full body search where customs agents discovered almost 25lbs of pure Colombian cocaine lodged delicately up his keester.
2. Purebred Dogs Can Learn to Imitate the Scent of Their Owner’s Breath:
In a study done in 1999 by Dr. J Darling* of the Kennel Society of Idaho, test results show that certain breeds of purebred Labs and Bloodhounds, if trained specifically as a hunting aide, can alter the enzymes in their mouth to match the scent of their master’s breath to better identify as a member of their pack.
3. The World Record for Human Nipples is 40:
In the mid 1960’s a woman from an indigenous tribe in New Guinea was discovered by Australian explorers with the National Indigenous Association of Queensland* to have 40 fully functioning, lactating nipples. She was regarded by the tribe as the ‘Mother to All’ sent by the Creator. All newly born children took their inaugural nursing from her. Ironically and coincidentally enough, her true name was Milkango – which in her native tongue means “strange blessing”
4. In 16Th Century Spain, Boys Born With Webbed Feet Legally Had to Become Pirates:
Right at the pinnacle points of Caribbean conquests by the Spanish Armada, King Jose of Spain* passed a law stating that any boy born with the genetic condition must serve on a ship due to his ability ‘as chosen by God’ to be a superior swimmer. The King's goal was to develop a unit of top-notch swimmer/soldiers who could swim swiftly into island villages and take out guards without ever being detected at night.
5. There Was Once an Inuit/Eskimo Who Lived His Entire Life With a Body Temperature of Well Over 100 Degrees:
Wakaluktuk* was a man born in Canada’s Arctic Northwest Territories region in 1922. His mother passed away from exhaustion due to the strain of giving birth to such a large baby (over 13lbs). Inuit legend states that he never stopped steaming from his body since the day he was born, and was utilized in his village to help melt things that were frozen together such as meat or containers. Wakaluktuk translates to “ice melted” in the Inuit tongue. He lived to be 69.
6. Every Year, Over 200 People Die Globally From Being Offended by a Joke:
According to Dr. Hans Guudern*, Head of the International Post-Mortem Statistics Association, every year hundreds of people find a joke or insult so offensive that the section of their brain associated with stress and emotion (the prefrontal cortex) develops and instant bursting aneurism that kills the person instantly. The official cause of death has been published globally as, ‘offensive hemorrhaging’.
7. Until the Early 1800’s Korean’s Used Live Sea Squid as Toilet Paper:
Due to its wet, slimy yet adhesive nature, people in Ancient Fuedal Korea would keep a water bucket with a live sea-squid near to their toilet areas. Wiping with the squid was effective because the suction-like tentacles would take waste with them. The squid could be put back into the bucket of sea water and reused several times before it would eventually die from over-exertion, or waste related poisoning.
8. The Majority of People That Read Lists on the Internet, Actually Believe Them:
If this list has had you fooled for even a second, you are one of those people. Every ‘fact’ from 1-7 has been utter nonsense that I’ve completely made up and pulled out of my ass, as is much of the garbage that we read online without thinking any further about. This post was meant to be entertaining and also to prove a point that people believe the smut we’re told too often, particularly when it comes to ‘amazing lists’ articles like this was an attempt at. The key to being happy, smart, safe and respected is to think critically and independently. Look deeper into what you read or are told because quite often, it can turn out to be bullshit.
