Description

Read about stories behind fascinating sagas, curious incidents, and weird biographies.

Here are some of the exciting stories you will find in this book:

• Fact One: Monsieur Magento

A French performer named Michel Lotito gained massive popularity for his strange diet, including rubber, metals, and other indigestible materials. He consumed an entire Cessna 150 airplane between 1978 to 1980.

• Fact Two: Tornadoes of Fire

In September 1923, a massive earthquake hit Japan, resulting in a fire whirl that roasted more than 38,000 people within 15 minutes. The heat was so intense that it melted tarred roads and caused people to get stuck in the disaster.

• Fact Three: Italy Castrato

Between 1500 AD and 1700 AD, young males in Italy were forced to undergo painful castration so they would retain their high notes longer into adulthood and have successful careers as opera singers.

These and many more are some of the exciting stories covered in the various chapters of this book.

Content Warning: This book contains mildly sensitive descriptions of natural disasters, cannibalism, animal cruelty, and discrimination. Readers who are sensitive to these issues should please take note. Thank you.
