Welcome to Interesting Stories for Curious People: A Fascinating Collection of Stories Relating to History, Pop Culture, Science, and Just About Anything Else You Can Think Of . This book will introduce you to some of the strangest facts on the face of the earth. Youll learn about a Kansas town that people claim is so haunted that many call it the Gateway to Hell, as well as an urban myth about a Soviet drilling expedition that mayor may not haveopened a portal to Hell.
Youll learn about strange historical facts that were more than likely overlooked in your history classes. How Alexander the Great died, how Cleopatra died, what happened to American Indian leader Sequoya, and the truth about Christopher Columbus expedition are just a few of the historical stories youll read about.
The thin line between science fact and science fiction is also explored in many stories. Youll read about a star that is many times bigger and brighter than our own, what will happen when computers become self-aware, what causes brain freeze, and how the government has been actively searching for extraterrestrials.
Youll also learn a few pop culture tidbits that you may find interesting. Did you know that several popular American 1970s sitcoms were inspired by shows on British television? Youll read about how the popular 1960s American sitcom Hogans Heroes was hated by some but loved by many and how the star of the show lived a dark, double life. And youll find out about how A-list actor Mark Wahlberg was once a drug-dealing thug before he became one of the highest paid entertainers in the world.
There are also a number of true crime cases thrown in this book for good measure. But these true crime stories are among some of the strangest youll have ever heard about. We have a celebrity cannibal, serial killers, and a young antihero who liked to steal planes in his bare feet. Undoubtedly, these anecdotes will keep you glued to the pages.
And for all you sports fans, there are plenty of interesting stories about some of your favorite athletes and games.
Prepare to laugh, shrug, shake your head, and learn tons of new, intriguing information. Who says reading can't be fun?!
With everything that the modern world has to offer (from the Internet to television and numerous sports-related pastimes), we really have no reason to experience boredom. But of course it still happens. Maybe we are victims of sensory overload or perhaps weve just become spoiled from all the technology at our disposal.
Have you ever wondered what people did to pass the time when the Giza pyramids were being built?
Life may have been tougher in ancient Egypt, and people didnt live as long on average, but they still had to devise ways to deal with their boredom. After all, it was not all work and no play for Neferhotep.
You may be surprised to know that the ancient Egyptians enjoyed imbibing beer nearly every day, oftentimes all day! It wasnt that the Egyptians were necessarily a culture of soaks, they just didnt have access to potable water. Even back then, the Nile River was full of animal waste, making it undrinkable for the most part. Beer was the safe alternative.
While the majority of Egyptians drank beer, the nobles chose wine as their favored alcoholic beverage.
All Egyptians enjoyed public and private celebrations, where a certain level of drunkenness was not only expected, but encouraged. As they were drinking their beer or wine, many Egyptians also enjoyed playing the worlds oldest board game senet . Although modern scholars dont know all the details of game play, senet was a two-player game where pieces were moved after rolling dice, similar to backgammon. Senet games probably got pretty heated when the players were drunk, especially since betting would have been frequent.
So, the next time your power goes out and youre feeling bored, think about the ancient Egyptians
Recent polls show that about half of all people believe in extraterrestrial (alien) life, so theres a good chance that you are one of those people. It seems logical to believers that with all of the stars and planets out there, at least one of them has to have life.
and then there are all those people who claim to have seen an actual UFO.
