(song of talking animals
from the cartoon "38 Parrots")

“- Yesterday, in short, I read on the internet...”

(conversation on a bench in the yard)

A white crow, a camel girl, an aquarium toilet, a cake in the shape of a laptop, a lady with a hairstyle in the shape of a frigate, and that's not all. Tie Tetris, ghost towns, x-ray, kidnapping dentures and many more ideas for unusual gifts, events and travel - that’s what a cabinet of curiosities is.

Curious and odious, shocking and attractive things, phenomena and people are collected from the crazy world one by one and sorted into more than 450 articles, each of which is neatly displayed on its own page. Most often they find us when they are looking for something about, or.... Fear of death and love still, like two packs of hounds, pursue every person.

Heavy and high hairstyles in the shape of ships were overthrown along with the royal power in France by the incorruptible Robespierre and the tongue-tied Danton. It turned out that hairstyles and outfits are nothing in comparison with the highest way of human self-expression, revolutionary activity. Who is the greatest revolutionary in our memorable history? That's right, this is a nice guy Che. In the treasury article, our eyes are opened to the star and death of an eternally young youth idol, who himself did not live to see 40. We learn about how Guevara abandoned the army in his youth, and then became a major and signed himself “Stalin II.” Or how the future Cuban minister Ernesto, on the orders of the police who detained him, coached and led a rural football team to victory in the interdistrict cup.



Science, fueling progress, turns the unusual into the ordinary. By creating a wide assortment of miracles, she exchanges the old boredom of life for a new one, one whim for a second, third and hundredth. More precisely, a cell phone. Nowadays, to be a unique person, if not a smart one, it is enough to buy an extraordinary device, for example, a mobile phone with an ultrasonic mosquito repeller. Or on one SIM card a phone in the form of a matchbox, and on the second - a la pack of cigarettes. This material will help you choose the life-changing gadget.

Another plane of human individuality is what our distant ancestors called “shame”, and our children called the “bikini zone”. Masterpieces of hidden unusualness, intimate hairstyles became popular in the last century, the fashion for shaving and decorating one place blossomed in the late 1980s and does not fade to this day. You can read about the most unusual intimate hairstyles, women's and men's, in. We warn you to be careful - there you will find... a clubfooted bear(s) and curly-haired Frank Farian, peeking out of ladies' panties.

If your career does not go beyond universal ideas of success, then to work you will most likely have to wear a neckerchief, called a tie or “kravatka” (the second name, oddly enough, is born from the word “Croatian”). In order to stand out from the office crowd, you will need an original tie. If the main and main thing in your work is the lunch break, then feel free to tie a “noose” in the form of a hot dog with mustard around your neck. You need to hypnotize the client - there is a tie with a crossword puzzle, there is nowhere to put a small pink player - buy an accessory with a special pocket. Full review men's neck jewelry in the "crazy" style is presented on the page.

Or maybe you hate the office and don’t like nature? Yes, many computer and Internet users are indifferent to nature. They will never go to hot Asia to see how an elephant swims, stretching its spine and escaping the heat. But they will be happy to look at the photos. And about the elephant, and about the deer, whose antlers in the darkness mixed with the shadows of bushes and trees. About two bears, one of which is neck-deep in water, the other only ankle-deep. The article tells and shows what the arctic fox looks like when it comes, and some other living and beautiful things.

To the unusual beauties of living nature and sleeping stones one cannot help but add (to complete the bouquet of beauties) the aesthetic power of death. Not your own, but what happens in the small world of insects. If you look at the “predator-prey” relationship among insects through a macro lens, you will see enchanting pictures of a meeting between a black fly and a light-colored praying mantis, for example. Or a dragonfly and a bug it caught. That's what the article is called -. If these wonderful insects were even the size of a third of a person, we would not survive on planet Earth.

To avoid beautiful death a variety of skills, tricks and mechanisms help the living. As in humans, in fauna defense mechanisms are determined hormonally - if adrenaline enters the nerve, it leads to anger, if norepinephrine - to fear. Therefore, some opossums, at the moment of danger, plunge into a reversible coma, the larva of the Colorado potato beetle is covered with poisonous hemolymph, and the bombardier beetle pours boiling water on the oncoming person from its own backside. How different animals defend themselves differently is written and photographed in the article.

A fake sea maiden is a one-piece, relic item, but mermaids have a place not only on museum shelves, but also in private collections. Remember the gun millionaire from the movies who collected body parts of stars and celebrities? Such eccentrics exist in reality. The demand for outlandish chimeras gives rise to outlandish supply. In a series of articles, an unusual site introduces Russian-speaking consumers and amateurs to the achievements of North American taxidermy. The art of making stuffed animals and dummies presents us with a huge number of extraordinary gifts and souvenirs. Do you want to use the skull of the Soviet socialist Chikatilo as an ashtray “just like a real one”? There you are! Do you need the severed hands of those swindlers who cheated in poker? In a jar with a warning label? Let's do it! After all, everything terrible is charming for someone. And vice versa…

For those who do not risk New Year to give yourself or a friend/companion unnatural tits made from artificial materials, but craves fame, we recommend the digest. It tells about who and what eats from the Kremlin feeder for the holiday, why Santa Claus and his reindeer poop candy, and also how much an inflatable Christmas tree and what happens to the psyche of a person who is given the corpse of a hare hit by a car on December 31st.

Let us hope that after becoming acquainted with the Unusual site, no dramatic changes will occur in your psyche, your mood will improve, your erudition will deepen, your creativity will deepen. Stay tuned!

In the history of mankind, there are facts and cases that remain in people’s memory for a long time and do not fit into our usual framework. The most interesting and unusual achievements are collected in one book - the Guinness Book of Records. But even she is not able to accommodate the most incredible facts in the world that you can hear about.

Bird Girl

Scientists cannot answer the question of why people with completely unusual anomalies are periodically born in the world. Few of these people become famous precisely because of their unforgettable appearance. But the girl, who was born in 1880 in Georgia, became not only famous throughout the world, but even starred in films.

Minnie Woolsey (that was the girl's name) was born with Seckel syndrome. This rare condition causes dwarfism, developmental delays and a small head with a nose like a bird's beak. As a result of her illness, Minnie was also left bald, and it seemed that nothing good lay ahead for the girl. But thanks to one showman who had a so-called “circus of freaks,” Minnie was saved and even became famous.

But the turning point in the life of the bird girl was the filming of the film “Freaks” in 1932. Dressed in a bird costume, Minnie became the highlight of the film and was forever given the nickname "Koo Koo." According to some reports, Minnie participated in an exhibition of abnormal people until she was 72 years old.

The oldest impound lot in the world

Among car enthusiasts there are hardly people for whom impound parking evokes positive emotions. But many would want to see such a parking lot. She is located in Naples. The King of the Two Sicilies, Ferdinand of Bourbon, wanted to build a tunnel at a depth of 45 meters. This happened in 1853. The monarch was worried about his safety, since revolutionary sentiments were strong in Naples at that time. But he died a natural death, and the tunnel was abandoned unfinished.


There are many pre-war cars and motorcycles buried right under the central part of Naples. After World War II, the tunnel was sealed for almost 60 years.

Betty Butler – age is no barrier to extreme sports

Every person has a secret dream that he carries throughout his life. But many still lack the courage to bring it to life. What can't be said about the 95-year-old resident American state Indiana. It turns out that the woman had dreamed of jumping with a parachute all her life, but somehow it didn’t work out. Caring children and grandchildren decided to give Betty a gift for her 95th birthday. And the brave pensioner did not refuse and still fulfilled her wish, despite such an advanced age.


Indonesian traditions

On the island of Sulawesi, there has been one very unusual tradition since 1905. It turns out that in order to show respect to deceased relatives, Indonesians dig them out of their graves every year. There are even original competitions among local residents: whose relative is better dressed is the winner. But it doesn’t end there either – a mandatory end to the ceremony of respect is a family photo as a souvenir.


Mikaela - Instagram star

This girl has an unusual appearance, which exactly repeats the facial features of the famous character computer game. This attracted thousands of subscribers to her page, including such famous personalities like Justin Bieber. There is still debate among her subscribers about such a phenomenal similarity, and the reason has not been found out. But this secret only adds to the girl’s popularity.

Giant from West Java - Arya Permana

The fattest boy on the planet lives in Indonesia. His weight is more than 190 kilograms, and he is only 10 years old. He suffers from severe obesity and his daily diet would be enough to feed 10 adults. Because of his size, he is unable to choose clothes for himself, so he covers his hips with a large piece of sarong. He is unable to attend school, and simply moving around is very difficult for him. The boy simply lies in the pool all day long. What caused this anomaly is unknown, because until the age of 2 he developed like an ordinary normal child.


Rama Haruna - a girl with a baby's body

In the Nigerian city of Cana there lives a girl suffering rare disease. Her body stopped growing at 6 months and her limbs are non-functional. Moreover, Rama’s head is of completely normal size for her age. According to her mother, at six months the girl began to writhe from severe attacks of abdominal pain, which was accompanied by a high fever. There are other children in the family, and all are quite healthy.


Nigerian doctors are at a loss as to what could have caused such a strange anomaly. Some locals even claim that the girl’s illness is a consequence of the genie’s curse. But this has nothing to do with reality. The only thing this Nigerian woman is very lucky in is her family. Despite the fact that caring for the seriously ill Rama costs the family a pretty penny, her parents did not give up on the girl and are trying their best to earn money to support her.

Shi Bao - a dog on two legs

In the Chinese province of Shanxi there lives a dog that lost two legs after being hit by a train. Surprisingly, despite this serious injury, the animal survived and learned to walk on its two front legs. And just recently, Shi Bao became a mother. The railway station workers who adopted the dog claim that she is a wonderful mother who never leaves her babies for long.


Emma Lyman – diagnosis is not a death sentence

This 21-year-old girl has a whole bouquet of serious illnesses. This includes mild autism, Down syndrome, and deafness. But this did not stop her from becoming a full-fledged member of society. And the fact that she cannot write or read did not prevent her from becoming a successful businesswoman. It all started with the fact that her mother sent out the girl’s resume to the company, trying to find at least some kind of work for her.


She was taken to the office of a credit institution to destroy secret documents. It turned out that Emma perfectly tears paper into small pieces, and does it with amazing speed. And today she has her own company and regular customers who happily use its services.


The most incredible facts in the world may concern various areas of our lives, but one logical conclusion can be drawn. You should never despair even in the most difficult situations and look forward to tomorrow with optimism.
