These include “Hurt” by Nine Inch Nails covered by Johnny Cash, “Red Red Wine” by Neil Diamond covered by UB40, and “Higher Ground” by Stevie Wonder covered by Red Hot Chilli Peppers. That being said, rock covers of well-known songs are immensely popular. On this list are just a few of the songs that have gotten the rock treatment over the years....
Mistake: Insufficient Diligence on Due Diligence In the 1990’s Quaker Oat Company was rolling in profits from their dry foodstuffs business, so they branched out and acquired the Gatorade sports drink franchise from Stokley. Flush with that success, they later acquired trendy bottled tea maker Snapple for $1.7 billion in a leveraged buyout. To their horror, Quaker soon learned that unlike all their other products—including Gatorade– Snapple beverages required refrigeration....
This list depicts some pretty extreme and graphic violence against both male and female wrestlers. If you are uncomfortable with that, now would be the time to look away. 10The Stardom Incident Known as the ghastly match in Japan, Act Yasukawa vs. Yoshiko was supposed to be a main event title match for the Japanese women’s wrestling brand Stardom. Instead, it ended up making national news and costing one of the wrestler’s their career....
In the 17th and 18th centuries, the Royal Navy was a harsh place for a sailor—with many punishments meted out for various mistakes or crimes. The lowest punishments would start off as more of a slap on the wrist or a humiliating action, such as watering down the grog, extra watch duties, short lunch breaks, or even being “chastised” by the ship’s boys with wet swabs. These men were all living together for long times in a cramped area....
10 Medpac Anyone who’s ever played a first-person shooter knows that when you’re injured, you’ll need a medpac to heal yourself. Although we haven’t quite gotten to the “just walk over it” part, scientists have been hard at work inventing gels that can instantly stop bleeding and heal wounds:a college student named Joe Landolina has invented a gel that can stop bleeding instantly just by squirting it into a wound. The gel apparently binds cells together while triggering the body’s natural clotting mechanism....

We assume that our readers are intelligent, well-informed, and capable of thinking for themselves, and that is the end of this disclaimer. It’s been reported recently that atheism is on the rise worldwide, while religiosity is declining....
10The Mystery Of The Desert Kites Solved Over the past decade, science has cracked many archaeological mysteries, including the case of the desert kites, a series of unimaginably ancient stone walls built across the deserts of the Middle East. Some of the massive walls are over 5,000 years old, but no one ever knew what they were for—until archaeologists realized that the structures were always built along the migratory routes of animals....
It’s one of those so-bad-it’s-good films, made endearing by that the strong sense you get that the creator, Tommy Wiseau, really is just trying to make the best movie he can. Which he is. Because the man behind the 2003 cult classic is every bit as strange as the movie he made—and the story behind The Room is even weirder than the film itself. 10 The Original Script Was Even Weirder It’s hard to imagine that anyone edited any part of The Room, but the movie you saw was the toned-down version....
Roads around the world are often the site of tragic accidents and death, then becoming the center of terrifying legends. In the city of Wildwood, St. Louis County, Missouri, lies Zombie Road, which stretches through a valley and ends near the Meramec River. Mostly unused since the 1950s, it became a popular hangout for teenagers who liked to party away from adult supervision. Zombie Road was also said to be the hunting ground for the “Zombie Killer”’ who stalked the place looking for young couples....
Wherever a mafia organization plies its trade, it is feared. Even national governments find it difficult to take on such organizations. Most lesser criminal gangs stand no chance at all. However, the 10 gangs on this list were bad and bold enough to take a stand against the mafia. 10 Gustin Gang In America, 1920’s Prohibition proved good for organized crime, and South Boston was no exception. There, the Gustin Gang didn’t make moonshine or operate speakeasies....
That’s what most of us believe—that we live in a rational world, not one where specters of demons and the dead haunt the living. But if ghosts aren’t real, why are so many people so sure they’ve seen them? It turns out that the answer has a lot to do with the human mind. There’s a scientific explanation for almost every weird thing anyone’s ever seen. But when it comes to the paranormal, scientific explanations are sometimes more mind-blowing than the myths....
See Also: 10 Indications That Western Society Is Collapsing That said, ‘more peaceful than any time in history’ isn’t really saying much, as human history has been excessively violent for the most part. We may be more civilized and peaceful than before, but there’s still a lot to be done. We still live in times of gross mass deprivation and chaos in huge swathes of the world, with millions of people going through their own unique apocalypse scenario on a daily basis....
10Time-Reversal Acoustics We’ve all heard typical echoes, but true sound reversal doesn’t exist in nature. For example, with exact sound reversal, if you holler “hello,” it would return as “olleh,” with the sound wave traveling precisely toward your mouth instead of spreading through the air as it typically would. This type of technology has a lot of uses, such as breaking kidney stones, tracking underwater vehicles, and translating a speaker to multiple languages for different listeners....
10Ted Bundy Saved A Child From Drowning Out of all real-life killers, Ted Bundy seems to most resemble the fictional stereotype. He was cold, cunning, charming, and intelligent. He was handsome, charismatic, and good at manipulating people. As a result of this, Bundy managed to kill 30 women across the US and remained a suspect in many other cases. One of the people who knew Bundy best is crime author Ann Rule....
While this is the case for some psychopaths, not all of them are violent killers. Some psychopaths have normal lives and jobs. If you think that you might be a psychopath, this list of 10 signs may help you figure it out. 10 You Have Antisocial Personality Disorder The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) is the official guide used by psychiatrists and psychologists to make diagnoses of mental conditions....
However, from the many accounts on record, it is possible to build up a checklist of sorts. And should you suddenly find yourself experiencing any or all of these, you might want to pay attention. Just maybe, you might have already been an unknowing victim of alien abduction. What follows, then, are ten apparent telltale signs that you may have received visits from life from another planet. So, with paranoia reigning high, let’s get to it....
Granted, it’s rare, but thanks to conservation efforts, captive breeding programs, and legislation protecting our environment, we have been able to stave off extinction for some of our animal friends. Here are ten we pushed to the brink of extinction but kept from going over the edge . . . for now. 10 Panamanian Golden Frog These small, golden-colored toads are endemic to the mountain streams of West-Central Panama and are listed as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)....
Eotriceratops was named in 2007; its name means “early Triceratops”, because it looked quite like Triceratops but lived a couple million years earlier. Since Triceratops is so famous, Eotriceratops’ appearance (spikey frill, two long horns over the eyes and one short horn in the snout) may seem very familiar, but there is something that makes this animal special and deserving of a spot in this list; its size. It was the largest ceratopsian, according to paleontologists, with a skull that measured three meters long and was as heavy as a car!...
As Senator Kenneth Wherry told the American people, “Only the most naive could believe that the Communists’ fifth column in the United States would neglect to propagate and use homosexuals to gain their treacherous ends.” We needed a device that could weed out these wily gays from their patriotic hetero peers. Our mission was clear: we needed a real-life, fully functioning gaydar. The best minds in the world got to work....
Everyone was a suspect. Rasputin was seen as a sorcerer and a corrupting influence on the tsar. He was hated by the Tsarists and the Bolsheviks alike. Even outside Russia, he’d made powerful enemies. Prince Felix Yusupov took the credit for Rasputin’s death, claiming that he and four co-conspirators had killed him together. And to this day, Yusupov’s story is the one that usually appears in the history books. But Yusupov’s confession didn’t fit a single one of the facts....
