16 Facts That Sound Too Crazy To Be True, As Shared By This Guy Online

I have shaken the hand of a man who shook the hand of Charles Darwin - My Great Uncle ; I was 3 in 1961 he was 88 and he'd shaken Darwin's hand when he was about my age ; never got the full story though ....

John Tyler (1790-1862) served as America’s 10th president from 1841 to 1845. As of 2021, Tyler has one last living grandchild, Harrison Ruffin Tyler, 91. Harrison lost his older brother Lyon Gardiner Tyler, Jr., age 95, on September 26, 2020.

Marshall Bruce Mathers III maybe , but not Eminem , he didnt create him the day he was born

Sometimes it's wild to remember that Picasso died in 1973, considering people often talk about him like he lived in the Renaissance era.

Sinking fast

There are a lot of old things in England.

Although the picture is of the natural history museum, which is much younger!

And that is the Natural History Museum, not the uni...?

If not for the Consqestators the Aztec civilization probably would have lasted much longer.

So are some people who went there.

So it was the Roman hooligans that toppled those rocks over.

I wonder about the neolithic site at Göbeklitepe (much older than Stonehenge) - was it an attraction for Romans too? It was/ is in the former Asia Minor province (current Turkey), which was part of the empire for quite a while.

Is it include the aliens?

and no one made a selfie?

Now it's a tourist attraction for everyone.

Well... every combination is just as likely as them being in perfect order, and how often does that happen?

Especially if I’m shuffling them. I’m worse than useless

This assumes that you don't stack the deck and don't know how to do a non-random shuffle. My Dad's dad was a conductor on the Great Northern Railroad, and they spent a lot of time playing cards in the "caboose" -- he could pick cards out of the middle of just about any deck.

Is it including the Jokers? XD

I watched a documentary some years ago, about a young women in the U.S. who started showing signs of this disease at a very young age. There wasn’t much known about it years ago, because it is so rare. She was mis-diagnosed, and her dr said it was an aggressive form of cancer, and informed her parents that he would have to remove her arm and shoulder to save her life. That only made her condition worse. Years passed until she was properly diagnosed, and found that there was no cure for it. What a terrible disease this is.

It's called Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva and it's pretty tragic.

I'm crossing my fingers for the one that can change fat tissue into muscle

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva. Sounds horrible, but then, most diseases do.

Any New Yorker knows this already...

The Statue of Liberty's exterior is made of copper, and it turned that shade of green because of oxidation. At the Statue’s unveiling, in 1886, it was brown, like a penny. By 1906, oxidation had covered it with a green patina.: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/09/19/the-statue-of-libertys-beguiling-green
