The Fattest, Shortest, And Tallest Men In Europe

Isn’t it amazing to see three people who are at the top of their respective fields? These dudes had been the tallest, tiniest, and heaviest men in Europe at one point. These photos tell us so much about the human race! Isn’t it fascinating to see just how vastly different humans can be? Despite this, the men are all getting along just fine. This photo was taken in 1913, which has been more than a century ago!

Carl Akeley And The Leopard That Attacked Him

If you ask us, taxidermy is a pretty neat occupation on its own. Carl Akeley is even cooler than most! The jack of all trades lived through many encounters with wild animals during his African safaris. He took his job very seriously. He did not just stuff the skins with whatever he had on hand. Instead, he studied their bodies to ensure that the final products would look lifelike. In 1896, he battled it out with a leopard as he hunted for ostriches in Somaliland. It was a fight for survival, and he barely made it out of there alive.

Oregon Man Thomas Cave With His Social Security Number Tattoo

Thomas Cave and his wife Annie had been one of the legions of people who went through hard times at the height of the Great Depression. Dorothea Lange, the photographer, said that the couple worked for an entire year straight to bring home $550, which would be $10,000 in today’s currency. They rented a tiny apartment that cost them $12 a month, only to find themselves out of a job. The Social Security Act was launched just four months before he got his tattoo in 1937. This act offered relief for people who opted in and received a social security number. Cave got the number tattooed on his arm to ensure that he would never forget it! He was not the only person to do this at the time.

It would have been better if the leopard had kicked his ass.

He's bandaged up pretty good so the leopard got some licks in before he went down.
