Although it may be best remembered for the terrible screech saxophone solo, this 1973 single has a great piano. Just try to get that main hook out of your head. As if that weren’t enough, the opening is nothing short of rockin’. Ian Hunter is paying tribute to rock piano greats like Little Richard with his playing here. Just listen to the bounce of that jazzy piano. This song has a aura to it like none other, mainly due to the piano, flute and Morrison’s haunting vocals....

That’s exactly what a rather unlucky crook got when he was robbing a house in Hamilton, New Zealand. After realizing he’d just bumped into the hanged man in the dark, the burglar tore out of the house screaming “He’s dead!...

The entire Book of Job is one of the most uncomfortable lessons the Bible teaches, namely that God is in charge, what he says goes, and there is absolutely nothing any one of us can do about it, that we have precisely zero right to question him, zero authority, zero power to stop him. In this case, God takes it away on a bet with Satan (“Satan” is Hebrew for “Accuser,” similar to prosecuting attorney), who walks into Heaven one day with the other angels....

Top 10 Disturbing Films Featuring Sociopaths 10 Ju-On: The Grudge Ju-On: The Grudge premiered at the Screamfest Film Festival in October 2002 and its ensuing success spawned an American remake and several sequels. The premise of the horror film centers around a terrifying ghost, Kayako, that seeks revenge for being murdered. Kayako is still regarded as one of the scariest female horror movie characters, even in the American remake. The biggest inspiration behind the character of Kayako is the chilling Japanese urban legend that tells the story of Onryō, a vengeful spirit with one goal: to take revenge on the men who wronged her while she was alive....

Edward England, born Edward Seegar, in Ireland, was a famous African coast and Indian Ocean pirate, from 1717 to 1720. The ships he sailed on included the Pearl and, later, the Fancy, for which England exchanged the Pearl in 1720. His flag was the classic Jolly Roger, with a skull above two crossed thigh bones on a black background. Because his flag is the one that most typifies the Jolly Roger, he is included on this list....

This was the list where we first met Juan Baptista dos Santos – the man with three legs and two penises. He was eventually to appear again on the bizarre relationships list because of his brief sexual encounter with Blanche Dumas, the woman with two vaginas and three legs (that would have been a good one for the amazing coincidences list as well!) View the list… This list was published at quite an opportune time as many of the disorders that appeared on it later featured in other lists as related facts, so everyone that read this one was prepared for the others....

The future will be no different. As we progress into the horizon of time, these ten instruments of tomorrow will sing the soundtrack of our ascension. 10 Pocket Synths As music technology advances, the production of music and musical instruments becomes more accessible, more affordable, and more casual.

10Black Widow Virus Scientists have recently discovered a virus containing the gene for black widow poison. The WO virus specifically targets Wolbachia bacteria in arthropods. Latrotoxin kills by poking holes in cell membranes. It is believed that the venom genes allow the WO virus to break through cells and evade the host’s immune system. This is the first time animal genes have been seen in bacteriophages—bacteria-targeting viruses. Experts hypothesize that the virus picked up the genetic material after breaking out of a Wolbachia bacterium into a black widow cell....

We have complied ten such islands. This list does not contain islands deliberately added to maps to catch plagiarists, similar to trap streets.[1] All the islands were actually reported to have been spotted, though some were made up. However, they all appeared on maps. 10 Sandy Island Sandy Island was only found not to exist in 2012. Before then, it appeared on several maps, including Google Earth, where it was positioned between Australia and the French-governed New Caledonia in the Pacific....

10 Disturbing Channels From The Weird Part Of YouTube What do they talk about? Everything. And nothing. There is always at least some mention of the food. But there’s also plenty of chat about the mukbanger’s personal life: relationships, fashion, diets, weight loss goals, and–especially–other mukbangers. It may sound ridiculous, but mukbang is actually a fascinating phenomenon. Kim-Hae Jin, a Ph.D. candidate from Chosun University, suggests that people watch mukbangs to vicariously satisfy their desire for food....

Lost cities, strange relationships with earthquakes, battles, and intricate industries all left their footprints for archaeologists to follow. 10 An Ancient Mall Back in the day, a cluster of shops was called a portico. In 2013, archaeologists were dusting off the edges of the ancient coastal city of Argilos when they found its portico....

Often, discoveries inside or near them reveal ancient mindsets and mysteries from a time when volcanoes were sacred locations. Even in the aftermath, within ash layers and glass, scientists are finding entire forests, ancient seas, and chapters of human history. 10 A Future-Predicting Fossil Around 90 million years ago, a big aquatic bird died in what is now the Canadian arctic. Called Tingmiatornis arctica, the bird looked like a blend between a cormorant and a seagull....

Top 10 Mysterious Viruses He was trying to squash an idea that has been growing in popularity ever since the 2019-nCoV Coronavirus outbreak began: that his Virology Lab, at the heart of Wuhan, might be responsible. In a way, he was right. In a time of crisis, the last thing anyone would want to do is spread fear — especially if it’s based on nothing but a baseless rumor. But when you start looking into those claims that the epidemic that’s already infected almost 250,000 people across the world started in a Wuhan Virology Lab, it starts looking like something other than a conspiracy theory....

Knockoff Nigel Another attempt by the powers that be (the movie and audio industries) to demonize people who copy videos. In this advert we see a jolly old man singing at the local pub implying that a person who copies movies is also probably buying stolen televisions, and scrounging free drinks from his friends. If the video was actually based on reality, his friends would be telling the old man to shut up, and copying Nigel’s DVD....

We all know about the Yellow Submarine, but most people don’t know about the following tales of intrigue and mystery from deep underwater, and sometimes right at the surface. Ghosts, sea monsters, UFOs, and skeletons aren’t just for pirate ships, or spaceships for that matter. Submarines have their own stories of unexplained lore. 10 U-505 On October 24, 1943, U-505 was bombed with depth charges by British destroyers. In the midst of the attack, Peter Zschech, the commander of the sub, shot himself in the head in front of his crew in the control room....

Pigeon racing is a sport involving the release of specially trained racing pigeons, which then return to their homes over a carefully measured distance. The time it takes the animal to cover the specified distance is measured and the animals’ rate of travel is calculated and compared with all of the other pigeons in the race to determine which animal returned at the highest rate of speed. Barefoot water skiing originated in Cypress Gardens, Florida....

This is known as malicious compliance, the following of a terrible command just to show how ridiculous the command is. It’s a wonderfully delicious blend of passive-aggressiveness and genuine braveness that allows an employee to make a micro-managing (or just terribly-managing) boss eat their words. Luckily, there exists a subreddit known simply as r/MaliciousCompliance, where for years, thousands of users have shared their best stories of these satisfying acts. Pulled straight from Reddit, here are ten of the sweetest, most wish-fulfilling, most satisfying tales of malicious compliance....
