A woman sued McDonald's over a hot coffee accident she had last year!

A woman sued McDonald's over a hot coffee accident she had last year!

One of the most famous court cases involving McDonald’s is the one brought by Stella Liebeck in the 90s. It’s often regarded as an example of frivolous lawsuits. However, we’ve written before about how it was not as frivolous as people remember. Http://www.omg-facts.com/Interesting/Remember-That-Lady-That-Was-Mocked-For-S/53192




McDonald’s is facing a similar case now. Joan Fino, a 74-year-old woman from California is suing McDonald’s over coffee she spilled on her lap while on the drive-thru.




Her claim is that McDonald’s keeps their coffee at scalding temperatures because it keeps it fresh longer. The accident occurred in August 2012 and she claims that it still hurts and has trouble sleeping.

A man has claimed the record for fastest drive between NYC and LA: 28h 50m!

A man has claimed the record for fastest drive between NYC and LA: 28h 50m!

Ed Bolian claims to have shattered the record for fastest drive between NYC and LA by over 2 hours.




The man has GPS records to show that he achieved the drive in 28 hours and 50 minutes. If true, this would break the previous record achieved in 2006 of 31 hours and 4 minutes.




Bolian didn’t simply get on his car and started driving. He spent years planning his run and modifying his car. His 9-year-old Mercedes has 2 extra 22 gallon fuel tanks, 2 GPS and a cop-radars so he wouldn’t get pulled over.




He and 2 other people took on the drive between Oct. 19 - 20 and they only had a total of 46 minutes of rest time. They drove an average of 98mph and to minimize stops, they even brought a bedpan on board.

Around the trees, a sacred gloom

Running with the midnight sky

Night is full with my essence

Eternal light betrays my presence

Soaring through my endless task

Shadows are my faithful mask

Germany has created a third gender in their birth certificate.

Germany has created a third gender in their birth certificate.

Seeing that as many as 1 in 2000 babies are born with ambiguous genitalia, Germany has recently allowed for a new gender: X for intersex.




This is an option for when the sex of the baby can’t be determined at birth. Babies registered with the X gender can later change it to male or female if they choose.




The law is intended to reduce pressure on parents to choose a gender for the baby. Many babies who were subjected to sex assignment surgery at an early age ended up unhappy.

An 80-year-old man headbutted a bear... and lived to tell the tale!

An 80-year-old man headbutted a bear... and lived to tell the tale!

In a ridiculous example of bad-assery, Yusuf Alchagirov picked a fight with a bear, and lived to see another day.




The man was was in a raspberry field in a southern region of Russia when the bear approached him.




Instead of backing out or playing dead, the man started punching, kicking, and headbutting the bear. The man managed to get the bear off balance




This might have saved his life, as the bear became irritated with the man and tossed him off a cliff, then went away.




The old man was hospitalized with bruises, bite wounds and four broken ribs. However, experts say that he was spared of a possibly fatal mauling.

The cry of a baby is specifically designed to be hard to ignore!

The cry of a baby is specifically designed to be hard to ignore!

Evolutionarily speaking, babies play tricks on your brain when they cry. New research shows that the baby cry has evolved to trigger certain parts of our brain that make it hard to ignore.




This is why it’s hard not to notice crying babies in public spaces and why it’s so annoying. The cry is designed to make us more attentive and it primes our body to help whenever we hear it.




The researchers wired up 28 people and exposed them to the sound of babies crying, as well as cats and dogs whining. The baby turned out certain emotional parts of the brain.




Learn more about it at the source!

The Soviet leader cried when JFK died. He thought the superpowers would return to the brink of nuclear war!

The Soviet leader cried when JFK died. He thought the superpowers would return to the brink of nuclear war!

Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev led the Soviet Union during part of the Cold War. He served as First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and as Chairman of the Council of Ministers.




Khrushchev was responsible for the partial de-Stalinization of the Soviet Union, for backing the progress of the early Soviet space program, and for several relatively liberal reforms in areas of domestic policy.




He apparently didn’t have much hatred towards the U.S. And it's leader back then (John F. Kennedy). Khrushchev broke down and sobbed in the Kremlin on hearing that JFK had been assassinated in Dallas.




He then cried again whilst signing the condolences book. He genuinely feared that without the President, the two superpowers would return to the brink of nuclear war.

The Emperor's New Groove was originally going to be more of a drama!

The Emperor's New Groove was originally going to be more of a drama!

The Emperor's New Groove is a 2000 American animated film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures through Buena Vista Distribution on December 15, 2000.




The Emperor's New Groove was altered significantly from it's original concept as a more traditional Disney musical entitled Kingdom of the Sun, to have been directed by Dindal and Roger Allers (co-director of The Lion King).




There is no way we are ever going to find out if this movie was any better than the original, however the whole movie was supposed to add a bit more drama and music. It would’ve probably been a great movie!

Elephants are extremely scared of bees!

Elephants are extremely scared of bees!

Elephants are the largest beasts alive on land today. Yet these goliaths are afraid of bees, researchers have discovered. The giants flee when they hear the buzz of a bee swarm.




An angry swarm can sting elephants around their eyes and inside their trunks and pierce the skin of young calves. Now, a new study shows that the pachyderms utter a distinctive rumble in response to the sound of bees, the first time an alarm call has been identified in elephants.




A study suggests that this alarm call isn’t just a generalized vocalization but means specifically, “Bees!”




This is an awesome discovery! Comes to show that there are might be many other different ways of how elephants communicate with each other.

The best female Chess player in the world beat a family friend at age 5 without looking at the board!

In the game of chess, one woman has dominated all others for more than 20 years.




Judit Polgar has defeated nine world champions including Garry Kasparov, Boris Spassky and Viswanathan Anand, and is the only female ever to join an exclusive coterie of players rated above 2700 by the World Chess Federation.




Although she is the only woman ranked among the World Chess Federation's Top 100, Polgar has never won the Women's World Championship. By 14, she had so outstripped her female peers that she ceased competing in women's tournaments.




Just so you get an idea of how good she is, she was able to beat a family’s friend at age 5 without even looking at the board! You might not want to encounter her in a chess tournament.
