10 Mateo Sabog In 1970, Master Sergeant Mateo Sabog was preparing to return to the United States from Vietnam. He was supposed to head from Saigon to Fort Bragg, North Carolina, but he never showed.

Sabog was believed to be a deserter, but a second letter from Kenneth caused the Army to declare him dead in 1979....
Yvonne Millner of Hopkins, South Carolina, decided to give her 1996 Mitsubishi Mirage a different look, so she decided to paint the car—with nail polish. She started by drawing a smiley face, but today she has designs, patterns and slogans painted all over the vehicle. She would sometimes spend three to four hours a day on designing the car (which she nicknamed Smiley) and has used hundreds of bottles of nail polish in different shades, thus giving the car a unique, colorful appearance....
10Peter Kürten—The Vampire of Düsseldorf Peter Kürten, a.k.a. The Vampire of Düsseldorf, was a vicious German serial killer who killed at least nine people and attempted over 31 other murders.[1] His barbaric methods of execution were strangulation and beating his victims to death with a hammer, often in public places. On October 12, 1929, Kürten met a 22-year-old woman named Elizabeth Dörrier outside of a theater. Without any regard for potential witnesses or being seen, he managed to convince Dörrier to join him for a drink before taking a train to a river where they would then take a stroll....
Of course, in those days, we had real leaders—like the king of kings, Moctezuma II, who struck fear in the hearts of his enemies for the glory of Huitzilopochtli, bird-god of war and human sacrifice. We’ll probably never get back to North America’s real traditional values. But here’s a glimpse into what life was like when men were men, women were women, and flayed gods demanded blood. 10 Newborn Babies Were Told That Life Is Pain The Aztecs didn’t believe in lying to children—no matter how young they were....

After the advent of agriculture swept through our species, these groups grew in size. The luxury of not needing to outrun game or rely heavily on luck to forage for food gave mankind the opportunity to focus our attention elsewhere. With bigger and bigger harvests of crops and herds of livestock, settlements became larger and more self-sufficient. Some of these settlements, depending on their location, circumstances, and a bit of luck, became true centers of commerce, power, and culture....
As we delve into this list, we realize that most companies that have changed the world were initially meant to tackle different problems.

10 The Cat Attack Of 1914 Located in New York City, the Brighton Beef Company was a butcher shop owned by J. Wynberger. If you were to pass by Mr. Wynberger’s meat market, you’d no doubt stop to salivate over the steaks, sausages, and chickens hanging in the window. Of course, since there was so much meat out in the open, Mr. Wynberger would leave the transom above the front door open, allowing the night breeze to blow inside his shop and keep the meat (relatively) fresh....
Such a major political shift will inevitably be shrouded in conspiracy theories, some more well-founded than others. Below are ten of the prevailing theories about the Brexit process and what lies beneath. Make of them what you will. 10 EU Superstate One of the foremost theories surrounding Brexit, and the European Union at large, is that the EU is gradually shifting toward creating a single European country.

10 The Ancient Romans Were Actually Prudes Popular belief says the ancient Romans indulged in all manner of sexual depravities, but they were one of the most prudish societies ever. It was actually very offensive for couples to engage in open displays of affection during the time of the Roman Republic—one senator even ended up being driven out of the Senate after he kissed his wife in public. Sex during the day was frowned upon; sex was reserved for the night....
Perhaps the fact that these incidents made international news, if only for a short time, suggests a little more to them than simple trickery. That is not to say they’re divine. But they are interesting cases of something a little bit out of the ordinary. 10 ‘Our Lady’Ballinspittle, Ireland, 1985 Beginning in the summer of 1985 Garda (police) sergeant John Murray would receive numerous reports of a “moving statue,” nicknamed “Our Lady” by those who had witnessed the apparent miracle, at the side of a road in the small market town of Ballinspittle....

There are many reasons why someone might feel compelled to stalk their victim—rejection, a desire for intimacy, a lack of social skills, a willingness to frighten the victim, or preparation for a serious attack.

When I think of crypts, catacombs, and underground cities, I jump to antiquity first. There are the necropolis under the Vatican Basilica and the burial crypts of ancient Egypt. Don’t forget the famous Catacombs in Paris and Palermo. By definition, a crypt is a “chamber, such as a vault, wholly or partly underground especially: a vault under the main floor of a church.” It makes sense we would associate crypts and underground cities of bones with our European counterparts and ancient ancestors....
10 Kuman Thong In 2012, a British man was arrested after he was found with what was possibly one of the most grisly finds that anyone in a security uniform has ever made. He was in possession of six human fetuses, which he’d bought in Thailand. He was taking the fetuses to Taiwan with hopes of selling them for far more than their purchase price. The demand—and high purchase price—for the fetuses is due the belief in the kuman thong....

10The Red And White Dragons The image of the dragon is an integral part of Welsh identity. As evidence of this, a red dragon is emblazoned on the country’s flag as a symbol of Welsh pride and nationalism. This dragon, along with a white dragon, appear in The Mabinogion—one of the earliest examples of British prose literature and an important collection of Welsh mythology. Compiled sometime between the 12th and 13th centuries, the Mabinogion contains numerous tales that have become famous across the world, such as some of the earliest accounts of the Celtic leader King Arthur....
However, many of the cloud seeding programs and experiments that take place, if successful, offer those in their respective regions a chance to avert droughts, increase crop production, or assist in the overall cleanup of the atmosphere. Here are ten examples—good, bad, and indifferent—of attempts to control the weather. 10 China ‘Clears Rain’ Ahead Of 2008 Olympics In the run-up to the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, more specifically the opening ceremony, the Chinese government openly operated their cloud seeding program so that the first day of the Olympic Games would not be marred by rain or any other unsavory weather....
