A man rescued a baby he found in a dumpster—and you'll never believe who the father was!

We live in a cruel world—but sometimes the world has a funny way of twisting events. In Calgary, Canada, a 29-year-old woman stuffed her newborn baby into a garbage bag and left it in a random dumpster. She abandoned the baby after she gave birth, claiming that she didn't know she was pregnant. The father of the baby had no idea either.

It wasn't long before a man found the newborn in the dumpster. He immediately thought to himself 'I've got to get that baby out of there'. The baby was suffering from hypothermia, and he rushed it to the hospital.

As it turns out, the man's girlfriend of four years was the woman who left the baby in the dumpster in the first place. The baby was his. He never suspected his girlfriend was pregnant—because according to him, she's a little "hefty".

The man and the woman are now fighting for custody of the baby.

Dr. Ruth, the famous sex therapist, was once a sniper in the Israeli army!

Dr. Ruth, the famous sex therapist, was once a sniper in the Israeli army!

Dr. Ruth was born Karola Ruth Siegel in Germany, in 1928. Her entire family was murdered during the holocaust, but not before her mother and grandmother managed to send her away to the safety of Switzerland.

She was 17 years old when WWII ended. Orphaned, ans with nowhere to call home, she moved to Israel. She was dedicated to building a Jewish homeland and joined Haganah, an underground Jewish military organisation.

Her skills as a lethal sniper were discovered in her teenage years. Despite being tiny, she was also amazingly accurate at throwing hand grenades.

On her 20th birthday, just as she completed her watch, an Arab shell exploded at her feet. The metal pierced her legs, leaving her with severe injuries and cutting her military career short. The incident left three others dead and many severely wounded.

During the span of her career as a sex therapist, author and media personality, Dr Ruth received an honorary doctorate from Trinity College, the Medal for Distinguished Service from the Teacher’s College at Columbia University, as well as many other awards.

“I am what you call bold because the one thing that I've learned coming out of Nazi Germany, is that I have to stand up and be counted for what I believe. And that is how people are listening to me, because they know it is not a put-on” – Dr Ruth Westheimer.

This Korean admiral defeated 333 Japanese ships with only 13 ships!

Yi Sun-sin was a great leader of Joseon who saved his country on the peril of break down during the Imjin War. In 1592, while the country was in dire crisis with the invasion of Japan, Yi Sun-sin made over 20 times of battles with the Japanese forces and he won all the battles to protect the country and people.

Despite never having received naval training or participating in naval combat prior to the war, and constantly being outnumbered and out supplied, admiral Yi Sun Shin defeated 333 Japanese ships with only 13 Korean ships at the Battle of Myeongnyang.

Just goes to show you that one bright leader can outnumber any amount of the enemy’s troops.

This was the youngest known person to commit suicide—did six year old Samantha know that she would never come back?

This was the youngest known person to commit suicide—did six year old Samantha know that she would never come back?

On 2 December 2009, six year old Samantha Kuberski of Oregon tied a corduroy belt around her neck and onto the top railing of an unused crib, and hung herself. She was found unconscious, rushed to hospital and was pronounced dead on arrival.

In January 2010 her death was officially declared a suicide, making her the youngest known suicide victim. But can it really be called a suicide?

Samantha was a happy child who did well in school. On the fateful day, she got into an argument with her mother and was sent to her room. Her mother and three sisters were in other parts of the house when Samantha hung herself.

After the incident, police interviewed the family and ruled out foul play. They also found no evidence that the little girl was ever abused. The detectives involved in the case insist on calling it an accident, despite the medical examiner ruling it a suicide. They say that such a small child could not possibly be aware of the consequences of her actions.

Adolescent psychiatrists like Dr Kirk Wolfe agree with their argument. “Most kids this age are not aware of what death actually is,” he said. “Not until they get to be 8, 9 or 10 do they understand death is final and you don’t come back.”

Goldfish have a memory span of several months and can even be trained to do tricks!

Goldfish have a memory span of several months and can even be trained to do tricks!

Have you ever heard it said that goldfish have a memory-span of only three seconds? That could not be further from the truth!

Goldfish have both associative learning abilities and social learning skills. They can distinguish between individual humans and will sometimes hide from strangers.

When they get used to seeing the same human on a daily basis, they stop considering that person as a threat and will even swim towards him/her, or swim to the surface mouthing for food.

Over time, goldfish will associate their owner with food and will start ‘begging’ whenever their owner comes near the tank. After several weeks or months, it will become possible to hand feed your fish without it being startled.

Besides the fact that they have a memory-span of at least three months, they can also distinguish between different shapes and sounds. They can also distinguish between four different colors: Red, green, blue and ultraviolet. Through the use of positive reinforcement, goldfish can be trained to recognize light signals of different colors, and can even be trained to do tricks! Positive reinforcement means that if you give your goldfish a treat after doing a trick, it is more likely that it would want to repeat that behavior.

The duration of the short term memory in humans, thought, is believed to be only a few seconds...

Samurai in feudal Japan were allowed to execute civilians who paid them disrespect!

Samurai in feudal Japan were allowed to execute civilians who paid them disrespect!

Samurai warriors were the primary military and lower nobility of medieval and feudal Japan. Samurai described themselves as followers of Bushido, or"The Way of the Warrior".

A tradition passed down through generations, Bushido stated that the path of the warrior was one of honor. Highly valued traits were duty to one's master, and loyalty until death.

Being a highly ranking Samurai came with many benefits and rewards. Primary among all of them was respect, and any person who paid them disrespect would fall under their katana. In order to keep their honor, samurai in Japan were allowed to execute civilians that disrespected them.

The other important right that Samurai were given was the ability to carry weapons in public. Legally, they were the only social class allowed to bear arms.

Ever notice that Ted's kids in How I Met Your Mother never age? Ever wonder why?

Ever notice that Ted's kids in How I Met Your Mother never age? Ever wonder why?

One of TV's greatest sitcoms is coming to an end. How I Met Your Mother is an American sitcom that is currently in it's ninth and final season. Ted, in the year 2030, recounts to his son and daughter the events that led him to meeting their mother.

Throughout the seasons, we never see Ted's “kids” getting any older. How is it possible for a show that has lasted nine seasons to have characters that seemingly don't age?

Good planning, really. All of Ted's kids' scenes in How I Met Your Mother were filmed in the first season so they looked the same age throughout the show.
