During the Cold War, the US planned on dropping giant condoms labled "medium" onto the Soviet Union!

During the Cold War, the US planned on dropping giant condoms labled "medium" onto the Soviet Union!

For some reason, throughout history, both Men and Women always try to be the ones with the biggest reproductive system of them all.

And by this I mean the biggest penis (in the case of men) or biggest boobs and butt (as in the case of women).

Apparently, those who have a smaller penis always seem to be the ones that get upset, because in their minds; size matters.

This is a great psychological approach when you don’t like someone, just like the U.S. Didn’t link the Soviets during the Cold War.

During the Cold War the US considered airdropping enormous condoms labeled “Medium” onto the Soviets, to demoralize them against an anatomically superior American Army. The plan was never carried out.

Living at a high altitude can protect you from certain diseases, but increases your risk of suicide!

Living at a high altitude can protect you from certain diseases, but increases your risk of suicide!

High-altitude living has it's pluses and it's drawbacks. Who wouldn't love to stand at the peak of a mountaintop and look down at the peaceful valley below? But there's a downside to all of that beauty and serenity.

According to a new study published in High Altitude Medicine and Biology, living at a high altitude is associated with a greater risk of suicide, which is not a good thing if you call the mountains of Colorado your home.

Researchers at the University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Ohio looked at the death rate over twenty years for counties in the United States after recording their altitude using information from the United States Geologic Survey. The results were eye opening.

The good news is people living in counties at a higher altitude had a lower mortality than people living at lower levels.

I hate to nitpick:

But I think this woman’s skin tone is bearing false witness.

A Sergeant in the Vietnam War single handedly killed more than 30 enemies while refusing to leave his injured comrades!

A Sergeant in the Vietnam War single handedly killed more than 30 enemies while refusing to leave his injured comrades!

History is the home to heroic icons that are way more bad ass than any Bruce Willis movie ever. Sergeant Ed Eaton is one of those men.

After his helicopter was shot down by the Vietcong in 1969, Ed, Major Mike Perkins, and another group of soldiers found themselves critically wounded as the enemy approached.

Ed Eaton was the least injured of all the soldiers, and took it upon himself to grab his assault rifle, and a broken sniper rifle and try to hold off the enemy.

He positioned himself on top of the busted helicopter and began to open fire, alternative between an assault rifle and a sniper rifle to trick the enemy into thinking there were more men firing than there actually was.

A rescue helicopter picked up the wounded soldiers, but Mike Perkins was pinned down underneath wreckage from the previous helicopter crash.

He was given a grenade to use in case he was about to get captured. Ed Eaton, on the other hand, refused to let Perkins die alone with no hope of survival.

Ed Eaton stayed and saved his last two bullets for Perkins and himself. Luckily, the Vietcong began to retreat and another rescue helicopter was sent. They rescued both Ed and Mike!

A Russian Psychic claimed he could stop a train with his psychic powers. He got killed by a freight train!

A Russian Psychic claimed he could stop a train with his psychic powers. He got killed by a freight train!

The Soviet Union is home to a growing number of psychics and mentalists. One of them, E. Frenkel, became convinced that he could use his powers to stop vehicles in their tracks.

He believed that "in extraordinary conditions of a direct threat to my organism, all my reserves will be called into action."

Frenkel started small; a bicycle here, an automobile there, before graduating to streetcars. Finally, he devised an ultimate test of his psychic power: He would halt a freight train in it's tracks.

The engineer of the train that ran Frenkel over saw him toss his briefcase aside, and step onto the tracks with arms raised, head lowered, and body tensed. The engineer applied the emergency brakes, but it was too late.

The mentalist psyched himself out.
