“Lost The Ability To Walk Because Of Energy Drinks”: 50 Interesting And Shocking Stories

In 2017, six inmates on a work detail in Georgia faced a moment that could have changed everything.

While clearing roadside weeds, the sheriff’s deputy supervising them suddenly collapsed, unconscious, his gun at his side. The prisoners could have run. Instead, they chose to save his life.

They rushed to his aid, removed his bulletproof vest to help him breathe, and used his phone to call 911. One inmate even attempted CPR while the others flagged down help.

By the time paramedics arrived, the deputy was still alive thanks to their quick actions. Officials later confirmed that without them, he likely would have died.

The story made national headlines. The men were honored at the jail with a pizza party, and local authorities recommended reduced sentences as a reward.

What could have been a tragedy became a reminder that even behind bars, people are defined by their choices-and in that moment, these inmates chose humanity over freedom.

The man, Pierre Dupont, had lived in the Ivory Coast with his family as a child and was cared for by his nanny, Aïcha. When the family returned to France, they lost contact with her.

Driven by fond memories and a desire to reconnect, Pierre embarked on a search that eventually led him to find Aïcha living near Dakar, Senegal.

The reunion was emotional, and Pierre wanted to ensure she had financial security and comfort, similar to the care she once provided him.

A Nigerian fetal surgeon has performed a groundbreaking in-womb surgery that has stunned the medical community. At just 23 weeks of pregnancy, doctors temporarily removed a fetus from the womb, excised a dangerous sacrococcygeal tumor, and then carefully repositioned the baby to continue developing.

This delicate procedure — known as fetal surgery — requires precise control of blood flow, temperature, and uterine integrity to ensure the safety of both mother and child. Remarkably, the baby continued to grow normally for another 13 weeks and was later delivered healthy at 36 weeks with no major complications.

The case demonstrates how modern medicine can save lives even before birth — showing that the womb can serve as both an operating room and a place of healing.

For the first time, several of South Korea’s top universities have denied admission to 45 high-performing students with records of school bullving, signaling a cultural shift toward valuing character alongside academic success. Officials say the move aims to encourage empathy, respect, and accountability in education. The decision follows public outrage over bullving scandals involving celebrities and elite students. Parents and educators are calling it a crucial turning point that challenges traditional definitions of success.

In the 1980s, Ken Allen, a remarkably clever Bornean orangutan at the San Diego Zoo, became a local legend after escaping his enclosure not once, but three times.

Each time, he didn’t flee in panic-he strolled through the zoo calmly, observing visitors and other animals with curiosity. Zookeepers were stunned by his problem-solving abilities, especially since he never escaped the same way twice.

After multiple failed attempts to outsmart him, the zoo even brought in rock climbers and surveillance teams to identify how he was slipping out.

Ken Allen’s intelligence and gentle demeanor made him a fan favorite, but he wasn’t without quirks. His only known act of aggression was throwing rocks at another orangutan named Otis whom he apparently didn’t get along with.

His escapes forced zoos around the world to rethink the design of great ape enclosures, and to this day, he’s remembered as the “Hairy Houdini.”
