We all know the world is a mysterious place, but how mysterious can it get? Here are a few weird and interesting things, places and products that you probably didn't know existed in the world. There are also some weird but true stories and facts that have actually happened in the world.
Lets start off with something really bizarre...
Glaucus Atlanticus.
The Glaucus Atlanticus is a creature most commonly known as the Blue Dragon. In other words its a bright blue sea slug most commonly found in warm waters. This creature is known to float on the surface of the water because it has pockets of air trapped inside its stomach.

| Glacus Atlanticus |
To me this creature looks nothing like a slug at all and if I saw one I would assume it was a petal or a brightly colored leaf. I don't know about anyone else but I think the Glacus Atlanticus is really beautiful when its in the water, out of the water is another story! On land its doesn't look at pretty and sort of looks like a cyclops. Don't get me wrong it is still cute but it kind of looks like it has a giant eyeball evolving from its head!
The Woman Who Called 911 After a Bad Manicure.
This is really a true story and unbelievably ridiculous! A woman called Clonston reportedly argued with her nail technician about her nails being cut too short, later followed by her calling 911 to complain. When a deputy arrived she called the emergency line again because she found the policeman unhelpful when she was told she could not file any charges. She ended up ringing 911 two more times before she was arrested for misuse of the 911 system. After she was arrested the police had the last laugh as she had to remove her nails!
Volcanic Lighting!
Sounds scary right? During a volcanic explosion electrical and static charges are released and can result in this scary storm.

In 2008 Russia banned all citizens from dressing and behaving like an "emo". The Russian Government feels that the trend is dangerous and could lead to antisocial behavior, suicide and depression. To achieve the emo look people say you should wear mainly black clothes, have facial piercings and have odd colored hair that is bleached from time to time to strip it from it color ready to be dyed again.
Mcdonalds Secret Menu...
It is said that Mcdonalds have a secret menu with all sorts of weird snacks and meals. People say that if you mention any of the secret items from the list the workers at Mcdonalds have to make it for you. I'm not entirely sure that this is true, and I'm not a fan of Mcdonalds either so I wouldn't be up for the challenge of asking for something that isn't real. I'm guessing if this story was actually true it would most likely be in America as half the menu sounds like it should be from some crazy Americans brain. There's orders like Fries with Big Mac Sauce, Monster Mac and Pie Mcflurry. They are all a bit out there and very bizarre, if anything its worth a try to see if these items actually do exist because I do not have and answer for them at all as it stands.
KFC Secret Menu...
Like Mcdonalds KFC Is said to have a secret menu as well, but not on the same scale. KFC's menu is slightly smaller compared to the Mcdonalds menu. There's something called the Triple Down which is basically chicken, bacon, cheese and sauce without a bun. Again I am not totally sure that this menu is 100% out there and if the staff really do make these orders when asked by costumers.
Britain's Basic Plumbing.
Recently someone questioned Britain's plumbing as it has been said we always use two taps. This is not the case everywhere but in most places you visit in Britain you will notice that we do mainly use two taps, one is for extremely cold water and the other is for extremely hot water. It has been argued that in other countries they use only one tap that mixes the two temperatures to create a more pleasant experience.
Why Do We Have So Many Hospital TV Shows?
Its true, why do we have so many TV shows based around hospitals? When I think about it there's a lot of them out there. What is our fascination with them and why are people so intrigued to watch them!? And by the way, will Eastenders even end!
London Chicken Joints.
If you have even been to London then you will understand this fully. Why in London do we have to have so many chicken joints, there is literally one around ever corner. I understand people may like chicken but isn't KFC used for that?
These are the only things I can think of off the top of my head without researching anything.
Give me a follow and a +1!
