In the world of serial killers, the story of Jeffrey Dahmer may be the most twisted. From 1978 until 1991, Dahmer was responsible for the rape, death, and dismemberment of 17 men and boys in the Milwaukee area. His nickname in the press after his arrest was the “Milwaukee Cannibal” if that’s any indication of the heinous crimes he committed. By all accounts Dahmer was a quiet child and not a trouble maker. The only indication of what was to comewas a strong interest in animals and their carcasses. When he was young, Dahmer would collect animal carcasses from the side of the road. Later, he would dissect and dismember them. He explained that he wanted to know how each animal “fitted together.” Report Advertisement Wikipedia Report Advertisement In high school, Dahmer was also known to have a drinking problem.

As the Earth’s climate continues to change, it impacts our oceans. However, the jellyfish in the water continue to thrive. According to the National Science Foundation, there are at least 400 vast oceanic “dead zones” where the water is too polluted for any marine life to survive–except for jellyfish. Report Advertisement With a jellyfish takeover of the planet seemingly inevitable, it might be a good idea to take a look at the different types of deadly jellyfish roaming Earth’s oceans (and they most certainly are deadly). Jellyfish are responsible for 20 to 40 human deaths every year in the Philippines alone. 1. Lion’s Mane Jellyfish.

The lion’s mane’s tentacles can be up to 100 feet in length, and their stingers hurt like hell. Luckily, it’ll take quite a few stin...

Since its release earlier this month, the movie American Sniper has been stirring up nonstop controversy (on both the left and right). While the pundits debate different aspects of the film, the core of Chris Kyle’s story remains true. But Kyle’s story isn’t the only amazing real life sniper story out there. Wait until you hear about these seven guys. Matt Hughes. Report Advertisement The Sun Report Advertisement During the invasion of Iraq in 2003, Matt Hughes was a Welsh Royal Marine sniper. Hughes was assigned to remove two Iraqi soldiers who were holding up the offensive. There was only one problem, they were very far away (about 0.5 miles) and the wind was blowing hard. Hughes was not about to abandon his mission. So, to compensate for the wind and the distance, he aimed his rifle 56 feet to the left and 38 feet high. By some miracle, Hughes actually managed to land the shot, and struck one of these Iraqis in the chest. Mike Plumb. Y...

Every state has a host of weird, cool, or   scary   facts, but they also have some facts they’d rather you didn’t know. These are facts that aren’t quite majestic or interesting. (In fact, they’re just sad.) Don’t worry, your state definitely has one. Report Advertisement And here it is. You’re welcome. 1. It’s illegal to buy sex toys in Alabama.
