Five Deaths that shocked the world

Five Deaths that shocked the world

1. Mary Dridely, Joseph Coles and Haven Gillies were killed as they walked past a New York apartment building. David Smee, aged 7, and his 6 year old sister were left alone in their 27th floor hotel room by their parents as they went  to the hotel's gaming room. Bored, the kids though it would be fun to try to squish the "ant looking things on the foot path below" (people). They started by throwing fruit, then quickly graduated to chairs, televisions, even the drawers from the bedroom dresser.

2. Debby Mills-Newbroughton, 99 years old, was killed as she crossed the road. She was to turn 100 the next day but, crossing the road with her daughter to go to her own birthday party, her wheel chair was hit by the truck delivering her birthday cake.

3. Peter Stone, 42 years old, was murdered by his eight year old daughter, who he had just sent to her room with no dinner. Young Samantha Stone felt that if she couldn't have dinner no one should, and she promptly inserted 72 rat poison tablets into her father's coffee as he prepared dinner. The victim took one sip and promptly collapsed (Samantha Stone was given a suspended sentence as the judge
felt she didn't realize what she was doing, until she tried to poison her mother using the same method one month later).

4. Mahmood Foli, 22 years old, was killed by an unknown member of the Russian Mafia after he accidentally took away the gangster's drink too soon at the nightclub he worked in. The gangster was so upset that he forced the waiter to drink over 27 liters of Coca Cola (the drink he had taken away) until Mahmood drowned.

5. Julia Smeeth, 20 years old, was killed by her brother Michael because she talked on the phone too long. Michael clubbed his sister to death with a cordless phone, then stabbed her several times with the broken aerial.

10 Shocking things you didn't know about eyes.

10 SHOCKING THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT EYES

•  Some people who are colorblind can overcome camouflage and distinguish the change in the pattern. Such individuals were used in world war 2 to find and kill the enemies easily.

• That little pink bit in the corner of your eye is what whats left of a third eye lid our ancestors in the ocean had. 

Thats how our ancestors used that lid (nictitating membrane).

• Van Gogh had cataracts and that's why his paintings had a lot of blue in them

                                               

•  The human eye can distinguish between nearly 500 shades of grey not just 50.

• Babies don't actually produce tears until they are about three months old. 

• The biggest eye on the planet is about the size of a watermelon and belongs to a giant squid.

• The muscles in your eyes are comparatively the strongest in your body for the job they do.

 

                                                     

                                                       

•   A blink takes 0.3 seconds to complete and we blink about once every three seconds. So we spend about 1/10th of our waking lives with our eyes closed excluding while we are sleeping.

• The human eye can detect over 10 million different colors.

  

• In the right conditions an eye can see a dim candle 14 miles away.
