This must make the cut
The fastest surgeon ever ended up causing a 300% mortality rate—shocking, right?! Surgeon Robert Liston was considered “the fastest knife in the West”. He was a pioneer in speed-surgery. When performing a battlefield amputation in front of a group of spectators, Liston cut through his patient’s leg so quickly that he accidentally cut the fingers off the person who was helping him. One man who witnessed the surgery collapsed and died of a heart attack. Then Liston’s patient and his assistant died of blood poisoning from their joint-amputation, making him the only surgeon in history to have a 300% mortality rate.
Did you know ... Energy drinks are never in bottles because they are the color of piss.
Here Is Why All Energy Drinks Look Like Piss - Rare
There’s a reason energy drinks are always in cans, and not bottles. They are the color of pee. From Red Bull to Monster to Rockstar, the original flavors of most classic energy drinks don’t look very appetizing.
Did you know... that more people have been killed by teddy bears than real bears.
I did not know that. I find the numbers hard to believe. Maybe bears just don't actually attack ppl very often? I have seen bears with my own eyes fairly often. A woman was killed by a bear a few years ago at this oilfield site I worked at. I see bears when I camp. My brother lives near a mountain. I seen bears there last summer. I assumed 80 people a year were attacked by bears. Not 80 in the US over the last 90 years (Google)
Looks like my theory was right. I am not going to be that scared of bears anymore.
Bear attacks are some of the most dramatic examples of conflict between people and wildlife. However, bear attack statistics reveal that such incidents are rare because bears go to lengths to avoid contact with humans.

Bear kills oilsands worker in northern Alberta | The Star
FORT MCMURRAY, ALTA.- A union official says a woman killed by a bear at one of Canada's major oilsands sites was with several workers who tried to scare the animal away.
The 36-year-old Suncor employee was an instrument technician, who was doing electrical work at a job site near Fort McMurray, Alta., when the bear attacked her Wednesday.
“It was . . . seven people that were working in a group area and she was attacked by this bear out of that group and dragged off,” Scott Doherty, a spokesman for Unifor, said Thursday.
“People tried to stop it and do everything they could. Obviously they are fairly horrified at what they saw and witnessed.”
Doherty said the union does not believe the workers were carrying bear spray. He said they remained in the area until police and wildlife officers arrived.
Another union official said the woman's co-workers blasted air horns to scare the bear away, but to no effect.
