10 RIDICULOUSLY Dumb Theives

10 RIDICULOUSLY Dumb Theives

10 RIDICULOUSLY Dumb Theives
10. Shoe Robber In Wichita, Kansas, Charles Taylor was arrested for robbing a shoe store at knifepoint and stealing a $69 pair of size 10 1/2 tan hiking boots on December 18, 1996. Now already this is dumb because he targeted a shoe store and only received a pair of moderately priced boots along with an arrest for his troubles but it gets a whole lot worse. Three months later at his trial, Taylor arrogantly placed his feet on the defence table. He was wearing a pair of size 10 1/2 tan hiking boots. The judge, James Fleetwood, was incredulous. ‘I leaned over and stared,’ he later said. ‘Surely nobody would be so stupid as to wear the boots he stole to his trial.’ But it turned out one person was that stupid. Taylor was convicted of aggravated robbery and sent back to jail without his lovely boots. Was it worth it?

9. Robbing a house filled with Black Belts Probably every cat robbers the worst nightmare. In Manizales, Colombia, a burgler thought it would be a good idea to rob the home of a Pan-American karate champion by the name of Cristian Garces. What makes this even worse is that Cristian wasn’t alone as he lived in this house along with her instructors and fellow karate-peeps. So when a burglar decided to invade her house in 2008 while every single one of Manizales skilled peers were present, they sprung into action and beat the absolute crap out of him before he could scream Auxilio! The thief already had a bag and a laptop computer, two digital cameras and other items of value that he left behind before attempting to flee but was apprehended by residents until police arrived. “I don’t think the thief was eager to continue robbing here, he was very scared,” said Garces.

8. Welding a Safe So in most films that include robbing safes, the most used method of cracking one open is by using cutting tools. Well On the night of August 23 in 1980, a well-organized gang of thieves began their raid on the safe of the leisure-center office in Chichester, Sussex, by stealing a speedboat and using water skis to paddle across the lake. Once they were on the other side, they picked up their equipment and paddled on to the office. However, what they thought were cutting tools turned out to be welding gear, and they soon managed to seal the safe completely shut. The next morning it took the office staff an hour to hammer and chisel the safe open again.

7. Wrong Fence In September 1989, Stephen Le and two juvenile companions tried to break into a parked pickup truck in Larkspur, California, However the owner caught them in the act started to peruse them criminals as he chased them and hailed a police car that was passing by. Le and one of his friends climbed a fence and ran. It soon became apparent that they had chosen the wrong fence as they found themselves surrounded by the property of San Quentin prison. The suspects were booked for investigation of auto burglary and trespassing on state property, although charges were never filed.

6. Shot himself in the Foot In Petropolis, Brazil in February of 2004, Carlos Henrique Auad broke into a bar near his home and stole a television set. A few nights later, Auad tried to break into the exact same bar with this attempt being through the roof. This time around however, he was carrying a gun. As he was climbing down, he slipped and fell and shot himself in the right foot. Auad went straight home, but failed to notice that he left a trail of blood that led right to his door. He was arrested by police who found the television set. He shot himself in the foot both figuratively and literally.

5. The Worst Lawyer Ever! In Tulsa, Oklahoma, Twenty-five year old Marshall George Cummings, Jr was charged with attempted robbery in connection with a purse-snatching at a shopping center on October 14, 1976. During the trial that took place the following January, Cummings chose to act as his own attorney. Now there is a reason criminals are always given the right to an attorney. Sure most times criminals will be given a public defender to plead their case but it’s better than nothing. Well Cummings decided to act as his own attorney and let’s just say that it didn’t end well for him. While cross-examining the victim, Cummings asked, “Did you get a good look at my face when I took your purse?” Cummings later decided to turn over his defence to a public defender which he probably should have done from the beginning. Well unfortunately for him it was too late. He was convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison.

4. Robbing a Bank that Was Closed Liberty, Pennsylvania, USA, A bank robber was arrested after police said he tried to rob a bank that had already closed for the afternoon. 28 year old Christopher Allen Koch arrived at Citizens & Northern Bank around 11.40am and sat inside his car in the bank's parking lot for around 20 minutes. Now that alone is kind of dumb because it just looks way too suspicious. However, Koch have not done his research or not bothered to have looked at the banks opening hours that are posted on the bank's door. The day he decided to rob the bank happened to be a day that the bank closed at noon. He tried to enter the bank at 12.01 pm - a minute too late. He was wearing ski mask and gloves and had a gun. Employees inside spotted Koch and got a license plate number that led police to him. Koch was charged with criminal attempted robbery and possessing instruments of a crime.

3. Faking his death in a funeral home In 2008, a burglar broke into a funeral home in Burjassot, a small town just outside Valencia and tried to fool police by playing dead, but two ridiculously obvious things gave him away. Firstly, he wore grungy clothes rather than the Sunday best of those settling in for eternal rest and Secondly, he breathed. Yep...he’s that dumb! Neighbors living nearby alerted police when they heard the front door of the business being forced open in the middle of the night Police officers arrived with the owner, and eventually found the suspect lying on a table in a glassed-in chamber used for viewings of deceased people during wakes. The suspect's name was not released. Police said he had served jail time in the past for robbery.

2. Asking if there was money in the register before committing the crime In 2008, police charged 40 year old Daniel Glen with robbing a convenience store in Windsor, Ontario. Sounds pretty standard so far right? Well before he decided to rob the store, he called up the store ahead of time to ask the clerk how much money was in the cash register before showing up. The clerk alerted police, who arrested Glen nearby. Canwest News Service reported Glen was a suspect in two similar incidents where the thief called ahead to make sure the clerk had the money bagged and ready for him.

1. Robber who drove a STOLEN car to his court case Eventually we come full circle. So wearing boots you stole to a trial is bad right? Well This one is just downright idiotic. A 37-year-old man was charged with stealing a Lexus SUV after he drove it to court the day a jury decided whether to convict him in an unrelated auto theft charge. Police were suspicious after watching the San Francisco hairstylist walk to the car, parked in front of the courthouse, with keys in hand. The car also attracted attention as it had several Yorkshire Terriers mulling around it. The man was charged with receiving a stolen vehicle, receiving stolen property and charges of animal cruelty for leaving the dogs unattended in the vehicle. Meanwhile, the jury convicted the man of the original auto theft charge. He was charged with possession of a Porsche Carrera, valued at $125,000, that had been stolen from a San Anselmo home.

Top 10 Dumb Celebrity Quotes

Top 10 Dumb Celebrity Quotes

10. Donald Trump.
Donald TrumpThere’s tons of quotes you can take from Donald Trump that will certainly stand out such as “A small loan of a million dollars”, or how about his infamous speech about building a wall? “I will build a great wall – and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me – and I’ll build them very inexpensively.”
“I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words!” Hell it doesn’t even have to be election related. How about the fact he values looks of women over anything else with this quote “You know, it really doesn’t matter what the media write as long as you’ve got a young, and beautiful, piece of ass.” Believe us, We’re not taking sides on this election but you’ve got to admit that these quotes are ridiculous!

9. Hillary Clinton.
Hillary Clinton During one of her rallies, She was quoted for saying “America is Great because America is Good!”. How long do you think it took her to write that one up? Not to mention she sort of insulted the intelligence of the people of america by stating “No. We just can't trust the American people to make those types of choices ... Government has to make those choices for people” You can tell she tried meaning well with that comment but it just sounded like “Hey, you’re too dumb to make decisions so we’ll do them for you”. Not to mention this one quote which is kind of faithful but sad at the same time as she has said in regards to her husband and former president of the united states, Bill Clinton that “My husband may have his faults, but he has never lied to me.” I mean if what he did back in 1998 wasn’t lying then i honestly don’t know what is.
No matter how you look at it though, Both Trump and Clinton are both pretty bad candidates.

8. Kanye West.
Kanye WestSo if you missed a video we made a while back, there was an entire video dedicated to the wacky antics of Kanye West. There are so many quotes to choose from because no matter what situation he’s in, he always has some egotistical response. How about in an interview with VH1 that “My greatest pain in life is that I will never be able to see myself perform live”. What about the time at a live show in Paris that he claimed that “I am Picasso. I'm Walt Disney, I'm Steve Jobs” in what was clearly supposed to be an inspirational speech that turned into him preaching about how great he is! But the funniest thing he’s ever said has to be the time he revealed he was running for president in 2020! That is without a doubt the funniest thing anyone of his caliber has said ever!

7. Mariah Carey.
Mariah Carey
So let’s face facts here, It’s horrible how third world countries are living. I mean that’s a pretty straightforward statement that shouldn’t have to be said because it’s common knowledge that it’s horrible in those places. Whether it’s the lack of food and water resources or simply the fact that the country is overpopulated with the likelihood of catch a disease being pretty damn high, it’s horrible and we can’t help but feel bad for the people living in these conditions. Well most of us do at least.Mariah Carey envies these people. “Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can’t help but cry. I mean I’d love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff.” We can’t tell if she’s serious or not and we hope that this quote is a part of some sick joke.

6. R. Kelly.

It's probably never a good idea to associating yourself with Bin Laden in anyway. R. Kelly has quite the decorated past when you think about it. Going from playing basketball for the Atlantic City Seagulls before crossing over into the music industry is something you see rarely done. Even though he is an intelligent songwriter, it doesn’t mean he’s the most intelligent when it comes to interviews. Following an arrest in 2003 He stated that “Osama Bin Laden is the only one who knows exactly what I’m going through.” With a statement like that, it quickly spreaded like wildfire to every news outlet known to man in 2003. Who would have thought that one year, later, he would win a Grammy for best written song for visual media?

5. Axl Rose.Axl Rose
Axl Rose is a very interesting person. It’s hard to say whether he’s loved by people or hated because most Guns and Roses fans are split on him. Yes he was a major part of GNR back when the band was in it’s prime but he’s also the main reason the band broke up. Not to mention he’s not exactly the nicest person. Well it turns out he’s not exactly a faithful husband as not only has his married life been well documented to have had many domestic issues as well as the many times he’s cheated on her but he’s publicly went on record to say that it’s okay to cheat on your wife and that they need to be fine with it. Rose has stated that “It’s really hard to maintain a one-on-one relationship if the other person is not going to allow me to be with other people.” Love or hate the original Guns n Roses line up, you’ve got to admit that this is downright horrible.
4. Jaden Smith.
Jaden SmithSo Jaden Smith hasn’t exactly had the best start to his career as an actor. Sure his acting in the film “Pursuit of Happiness” was a good start even though the focus was all on will smith but since then, he’s been in films that are either forgettable like the Karate Kid remake or films that are just downright awful like After Earth. Well it seems as though poor jaden smith can’t even catch a break when doing in interviews as he was quoted saying that “If Everybody In The World Dropped Out Of School We Would Have A Much More Intelligent Society”. Sorry Jaden but things simply don’t work like that.

3. Richard Nixon.
Richard Nixon Okay, We’re not trying to target presidents but this one needed to be mentioned. Richard Nixon is no stranger to controversy. Whether it’s his declaration of hatred towards hippies or the infamous Watergate scandal that ended his tenure as president of the united states, He’s he’s no stranger to bad publicity. After being caught in June of 1972 for his involvement in the Watergate scandal, He resigned as president of the united states later than year after publicly admitting his involvement in the scandal. During this period however he stated that “If a president Does it, It’s not Illegal”. Fair play to you for owning up to what you’re guilty for but come on, that’s children’s excuses right there!

2. Britney Spears.
Britney Spears
So Britney is no stranger to being a nightmare. Whether it’s nearly dropping her son, Shaving her head bald or texting her boyfriend who is on live television that she’s breaking up with him, She always has some way to draw negative attention towards herself. Well this certainly doesn’t help as it shows that she isn’t exactly the smartest person. “I’ve never really wanted to go to Japan. Simply because I don’t like eating fish. And I know that’s very popular out there in Africa.”

1. Paris Hilton.
Paris Hilton So for most people, Paris Hilton isn’t exactly a popular person and by popular we mean that she’s not exactly liked by people. And hey if you’re one of those people who likes Paris Hilton, More power too you. However, it must be said that quotes like these just make us absolutely sick to our stomachs. During an interview on a show called “The Bling Ring”, She talks about the many times she has had her house robbed. Now you can’t blame her for being mad at someone constantly robbing her house. Anyone would be mad at something like this, However it’s what she says next that really strikes a nerve with people. She has stated that “There’s much more to life than all of these possessions and everything. And if you want those things, you’re going to have to work yourself, just like I did.” Well considering the fact that not only has she just leeched off of her parents and was raised into an upper class life is just insulting. I know she was directing that towards the people who robbed her house but using herself as an example technically means the robbers have worked harder by robbing her house just once then she’s “worked” in her entire life.

10 Highest Grossing films of all time

10 Highest Grossing films of all time

Films have been a pretty big thing as of late. It’s crazy to think of how Hollywood has evolved over the last 30 years as effects kept on getting better and better and the stories kept getting more un-original and unoriginal! No but seriously films today have only gotten better and better and it shows with each film’s staggering box office take! So just so this list isn't filled with 50 marvel films, we’ll only be including 1 film per franchise. Here’s 10 of the highest grossing films of all time. (NOT adjusted for inflation)
10. Avatar.
Avatar
Hey facts are facts. Sure the film itself was pretty standard but you can’t argue with it’s success. Directed by James Cameron, Avatar started its development in 1994 as Cameron wrote the first 80 pages for the film. The film wouldn’t see production however until January of 2006. The film’s budget was 297 million dollars and it really shows as the film’s effects and CGI was outstanding. So amazing in fact that no other film has been able to create a world that look as beautiful as the one presented in this world. The film released on December 17th 2008 and raked in an astonishing 2.788 billion dollars! Yeah feel free to insult the film for it’s lacklustre story but there is no way you can insult the film’s success.
9. Titanic.
Titanic
It’s safe to say that James Cameron has cemented his legacy as one of the greatest writers and directors of all time. Before you hound us, yes we didn’t include him on our top 10 influential directors of all time but believe us, we were close to adding him. And hey he’s certainly earned that status because he was able to take the top 2 spots for films with the highest box office record! Titanic held that record for over 10 years with a staggering box office take of 2.817 Billion Dollars! The film itself was made on a budget of 200 million dollar which by 1997 was a ludicrous amount used for a film's budget. Needless to say though, the risk of spending that much cash payed off!
8. Star Wars The Force Awakens.
Star Wars The Force Awakens
So Star Wars made it’s triumphant return to the big screen last December. The film was praised for bring star wars back to its root while at the same time giving the series a breath of fresh air. Sure there were moments that felt a lot like fan service but the film was still great. It most certainly made up for the prequel trilogy that came before it. How good was it? Well the film was able to rake in a massive 2.068 Billion Dollars in at the box office on a budget of 245 Million Dollars. We’re going to make a bold prediction here however and say that Rogue One could possibly top The Force Awakens at the box office.
7. Jurassic World.
Jurassic World Yet another franchise that was essentially raised from the dead, Jurassic World without a doubt made up for the previous 2 sequels by giving everyone what they wanted. Dinosaur freaking carnage! Sure the story had tons of plot holes and maybe focused a little bit too much on the human characters, But when they showed dinosaurs causing havoc, oh boy is it glorious! But besides taking about the film itself, the film managed to rake in a monstrous 1.670 Billion Dollars at box office on a budget of only 150 Million. Because of this impressive showing at box office, we are guaranteed to see Jurassic World 2!.
6. The Avengers.
The Avengers Where do we begin. So alone, This film was awesome! I with all the build up they created over 5 films over the course of 4 years, It lived up to everyone’s expectations and it is incredibly rare you see someone who didn’t like this film. But hey each to their own. The film was made on a budget of $220 million dollars and raked in a massive 1.520 Billion dollars at box office! This alone makes up over half of the first 4 cinematic universe film box office revenue combined! That is impressive!.
5. Fast and Furious 7.
Fast and Furious 7 Or simply known as Fast 7 of Furious 7. Seriously calm down in the comments. The title varies in regions. It’s safe to say that before the release of fast and furious 5, Everyone was getting burnt out on the series. Yes watching the race scenes was fun to watch but there’s only so many times you can do that. The story lines behind each film began having less meaning. When Fast 5 came around however, They changed everything up by turning simple racing films into a heist series with elements of street racing. Hell Fast and Furious 6 ended up making Tokyo Drift a much better film thanks to Fast 6’s after credits scene. Seriously these films have turned into something more than just “Simple Race Films”. Hell they must be doing something right as the latest installment “Fast and Furious 7” raked in a surprising 1.516 Billion Dollars at box office! Who would have thought this series could be capable of feat like that?.
4. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 Harry Potter is arguably the new Star Wars. No we’re not talking about themes obviously but we’re talking about the following this series has gained since the original film's release. Sure the books were out 10 years before the film was released but it never had any mainstream exposure until the first film’s release. Since 2001, We’ve seen 8 films release over the course of 10 years with each film earning upwards of 1 billion dollars. There’s no denying that this franchise is a juggernaut like star wars. When the final film released, Everyone went to see it. Like I don’t think a single person missed this film in cinemas because the film raked in 1.342 Billion Dollars! They certainly closed the series with a bang that's for sure.
3. Frozen.
Frozen
Parents across the world are probably cringing at this right now. Yes Frozen pretty much took the world by storm over the last 2 years and the craze hasn’t died down since. So the film itself was well reviewed by critics and was loved by families and kids across the globe. So much so that they simply wouldn’t stop singing that bloody song! You know exactly the song we’re on about. Regardless, The film's success showed as it managed to earn a staggering 1.287 billion dollars at the box office. Parents, be warned. Frozen 2 is coming so I would prepare some ear phones for around the house if the film has any musical numbers. Trust us.
2. Minions.
Minions Okay so if parents were cringing at hearing the film “Frozen”, I know for a FACT that everyone will be cringing at hearing the title “Minions”. So Despicable Me 1 and 2 were decent films. There’s no denying the film has a fan base. However, you know you’re doing something wrong when even the fans of the first 2 films hate this one. Well even though it wasn’t well received by the audience the film was targeted at, it was still a box office success as it managed to earn an impressive 1.159 million dollars at box office. Because of this, I don’t think we’ll be seeing the end of minions any time soon. Something tells us we should have allowed more than one film per franchise on this list now.
1. Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon Well we’ve certainly ended on a low note but facts are facts, Transformers Dark of the Moon is up there as one of the highest grossing films of all time. It makes no sense considering everyone knew the transformers films were okay at best and the fact that everyone knew Michael Bay’s track record when adapting films from 80s nostalgia. I mean this film isn’t the worst in the series but it’s still not great. But how does that honestly explain the 1.124 billion dollars the film was able to rake in? That is insane! I think the reason these films do so well is simply for the nostalgia it brings. Sure the parts when the humans are on screen really suck but when transformers are on screen doing what they do best, it is admittedly awesome.

The Most MYSTERIOUS BOOKS In History!

The Most MYSTERIOUS BOOKS In History!

The Most MYSTERIOUS BOOKS In History!
So throughout the course of history over 130 million books have been published, so obviously humans have a thirst for knowledge. And when you think of books, what do you think of? Harry Potter, The Alchemist, the Bible, maybe? Well, what about books that replicate themselves or predict the future? Well today I'm going to show you a list of books that actually existed that defy all logic by existing at all.
So let's jump right into it. These are the 10 most mysterious books in history.
Number one is the Book of Soyga.
Also known as Aldaraia, the Book of Soyga is a legendary book that exists right now in the UK that is said to have been presented to Adam himself by the angels of God in the Garden of Eden. The 197 pages of the book consists of everything from spells, rituals, and information on other magics, demonology, and astrology. The first known owner of this book was John Dee, a well-known Elizabethan mathematician, astrologer, and consultant to the court of the queen. He possessed over 3,000 books, which was the largest library in England at the time. After his death, however, the book seemed to vanish from existence only to suddenly resurface in not one but two different places in 1994. One was the British Library in London and the other was the Bodleian Library in Oxford.
Number two is the Rohonc Codex.
All 448 pages of this book are written in a language that to this day is still indecipherable. The Rohonc Codex's words are written from right to left on each page and are accompanied by 87 illustrations of military battles, landscapes, and other images that may have religious influence. Scholars have noted that the number of symbols used in the book are 10 ten times those in any known alphabet. The codex was discovered in 1700 in Hungary and since then many have tried to decipher it with wildly different translations. The fact is this mysterious book may never be truly understood.
Number three is the Great Omar Book.
Francis Sangorski was a bookbinder from London who started a firm in 1901 and created the first of what many claims to be the most cursed book of all time. The book that Sangorski made found its way to the bottom of the Atlantic when it sank with, of all things, the Titanic. Then there was a second copy made usingSangorskii's original drawings which was destroyed soon after completion in the early days of World War II when London was bombed during the Blitz. It then took 40 years to finish the third copy, which was donated to the British Library after its maker, Stanley Bray, died.
Number four are The Prophecies of Nostradamus.
Possibly the most famous book on this list, The Prophecies of Nostradamus is one that is widely claimed to have predicted several major events in human history. These include the rise of Napoleon and Adolf Hitler, the Great Fire of London, the dropping of the first nuclear bomb, and even the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City. People seem to consistently be linking every disaster, both those that occur naturally and those that are man-made, to the words that Michel de Nostradame wrote 400 years ago. Now this is highly contested with many believing that these predictions are 100% accurate and some that just call them out as false.
Number five is the Ripley Scroll book.
Named after the 15th century Augustinian monk and alchemist George Ripley, the Ripley Scroll reads almost like a journal and it's essentially a real life wizard's spell book. It chronicles the man's travels across Europe as he combed the land in search of immortality and the secrets behind transmutation. Legend has it that he was able to change lead into gold with a spell contained within the pages by creating the philosopher's stone. This, of course, in turn was used to make the elixir of life, which many claims had made the monk immortal.
Number six is the Popol Vuh.
According to a tale told by Francisco Ximenez, a Dominican priest, the Popol Vuh was a manuscript given to him when in 1701 he visited a small town in Guatemala. The Popol Vuh, which translates to the Book of the People, contains an elaborate creation story involving four deities, a brief history of the planet, and cosmology teachings. Though he cites his source as a parishioner in the town, no similar manuscript has ever been found. There are some scholars who argue that he should never have been given access to the pages since it was considered a closely guarded secret. The Popol Vuh is definitely a book shrouded in mystery.

Number seven are the Beale Ciphers.
The Beale ciphers are basically like the beginning of a real-life national treasure. The pages are actually a trio of ciphers which lead to a massive hidden treasure of gold, silver, and jewels worth nearly, brace yourself, $63 million. As legend has it, in 1820 the pages were given in a box by Thomas Beale to an innkeeper in Virginia named Robert Morris. The box was given with the instruction that he should only open the box if Beale did not return within 10 years. And of course Beale disappeared so naturally Morris opened the box and began trying to break the code written on the papers inside. In all of history, only one of the pages has ever been deciphered and it took, believe it or not, the Declaration of Independence as a key to unlock it.
Neither of the codes have ever been broken to this day and many claims that the treasure is still out there waiting to be found.
Number eight are the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Discovered in 11 caves across the shore of the Dead Sea, starting with one that two goat herders found, the Dead Sea Scrolls are considered the greatest manuscript discovery of modern times. They were found between 1947 and 1956 and contain, amongst other things, the oldest collection of Old Testament manuscripts ever discovered. These included prophecies by Ezekiel, Daniel, and Jeremiah that had never been found in the Bible before. The scrolls themselves are unbelievably over 2,000 years old and at least one of them is an ancient treasure map to 64 different buried treasures.
Number nine is the Liber Linteus.
The Liber Linteus only contains 1,200 words written on 230 lines but what makes it truly unique is what those words are written on and also what it was used for later. The ancient text refers to the Etruscans, people who populated Italy before the rise of the Roman Empire. It's scribed on linen, making it the only known example of a book made that way. Interestingly after the Etruscans fell their Roman conquerors would have destroyed the text if for not how it was preserved and hidden. The Liber Linteus was written on wrappings covering an Egyptian tailor's mummified wife, which is how it was discovered in the 1800s when the mummy was donated to a museum.
Number 10 is the Voynich manuscript.
This final one is vastly considered the most mysterious book on the planet. The Voynich manuscript is so old and confusing that many an argument has been had to how exactly it needs to be studied. Written by an anonymous author, the manuscript is almost impossible to translate but some people claim that it's actually a puzzle. The book, which in the 1800s was part of a Jesuit library, is named after Wilfred Voynich, a Polish book dealer who came into its possession in 1909. It's an illustrated, handwritten codex penned in a language that was previously unknown. To this day it's still not known exactly what the manuscript is or even what's said on its pages.

The 10 interesting facts about dreams

The 10 Interesting facts about dreams

Interesting facts about dreams

Dreams can tell us a lot about ourselves as well as to help us process the world around us in a different plane. But there is much more dreams than just falling asleep. Here are 10 interesting facts about dreams. Sleep paralysis. When we enter rapid eye movement sleep, or better known as the REM stage, our brain releases a chemical in our bodies that we are paralyzed movement. This makes it so we don't act out our dreams while we're asleep.However, sometimes we wake up all the chemical is still active in our body and we hallucinate as well as being unable to move, thus causing the terrifying phenomenon known as sleep paralysis.
Pleasure in our sleep. It is not uncommon for people to have orgasms while they're dreaming, especially during vivid dreams. Given the fact that we can see, feel, and even have the sensation of touching in our dreams. It's no surprise that there will be responses in the body to those sensations. Sometimes these dreams can result in wet dreams for males. Animals dream too. Yep, when you see fido moving his leg like he's chasing a cat or rabbit, he might actually be having that dream his body is responding to. studies have shown that animals have similar brain waves to humans while they're in their dream cycles, which indicates that your household pet may be dreaming about you dropping that steak or giving them the last piece of bacon.
No strangers allowed. When we dream about other people, even people we don't think we've met, they all have faces that we have seen in our real lives. Our brains on capable of creating or visualizing a unique face, but instead it takes inspiration from faces we have seen in our waking lives. That creepy stranger you might see in your dreams is actually someone you've already met. Men vs. women. Men tend to have more aggressive dreams than women. They tend to be more about other men as well while women tend to dream equally about both genders. But interestingly enough; firstborn males don't have as many aggressive dreams, and firstborn women have more aggressive dreams. It just goes to show how similar yet wonderfully different men and women can be. So many feels. We tend to process our feelings in our dreams, and the most common emotion we experience in our dream is anxiety. Insecurities and fears are dominant in our dreams, and take different forms to express itself, such as the fear of cheating on a spouse or the embarrassment of showing up to work or school naked. This is probably why some of the most common dreams include being chased by an unknown assailant and falling. Dreams-a-plenty. On average, we have about six to seven joules per night. Of course, we are seldom able to remember all of them. In a single year, we can have anywhere between 1462 - 2190 dreams. That's a lot to process in our dreams, and if we were to remember averaging we never had, we'd be overwhelmed. Symbolism. What we see in our dreams tends to symbolize something else that we are trying to process this is why numerous books have been written trying to explain certain things that we see. For example, if you see dirty water in your dream, it is believed that you might have a health issue that your body is trying to communicate to you. If you dream that you are pregnant and giving birth, it might not be as simple as that you're going to have a baby, but instead, that you are in the process of creating a new idea. Dream and perception. We tend to dream according to our perception of life. This can cause certain phenomenon in our dreams where we might not be able to dream in color, but instead, dream in black and white. Our perception of life can intertwine with our dreams and outside forces can influence the course of our dreams while we sleep. For example, a noise that might be going off in the room you're sleeping and may be interpreted something else in your dream, but it will have the same sound. Think of the buzzer of an alarm clock in real life and it may be a bird or even an ambulance in your dreams. Forget me not. Dreams are very forgettable. In fact, within five minutes of waking up, we forget over 50% of our dream. And 10 minutes after we wake up, we forget our dreams almost entirely. So if you want to keep a dream journal, you will want to keep it right beside your bed so you're able to write everything down almost immediately after waking up. some studies have indicated that will be remembered dream in real life, that is why we have déjà vu.
