In 2008, in Chicago, on a Monday, 18-year-old Ruben Zarate went into a muffler shop to rob. 

But the cashier and other employees couldn't open the safe to give him money—the manager had the key. 

To appease the teenager and dissuade him from harming anyone of them, they all begged him to come back for the robbery when the manager is around. 

Surprisingly, he gave the cashier his number saying: "you guys better call me or I will come back to shoot you all"

More surprisingly, they called him and he did came back for the robbery. 

This time, plainclothes Chicago police officers shot and wounded his leg. Then the next day they charged him with attempted armed robbery and aggravated assault of a police officer.  

Ossissa was a name of an Igala warrior and hunter who migrated from Idah to across the river Niger many centuries ago. He had three children- Eleke (Ekele), Ejeh and Oshimili (Ohimini) as shown in the sculpture.

 During their secondary migration from Benin (which made some people think today that they are of Benin origin) along with some Igalas (descendants of some in now Aboh where he initially settled) and Benin people, he left Aboh town to found his own town. Ossissa (Echicha, an Igala name of a child born when the parents are fairly rich or not rich) during his own journey to the new location with his children later came across River Adofi. How to cross the river became a problem. But as a real hunter note some hunters can change to anything (smoke, animal, invisible, etc when the situation demands, [Recall that even Nigeria hunters have been volunteering to fight terrorists because of their “power”), he asked his three sons to cross the river while he stayed behind. But to cross by what? They asked him as there was no canoe or boat. But he asked them to cross, and coming closer to the river again, they discovered a tree crossing the river to the other side, and on top of that, they three crossed. 

But their father, Ossissa, did not cross to join them but remained there as a guard to ensure the safety of his children. He later died there and his remembrance is always celebrated there by his descendants till date.

The three children founded the three communities of Ossissa today, thus, the name, Ossissa Igala Eto (Eto is 3). Ossissa, in Ndokwa east LGA is one of the 24 indigenous Igala towns in Delta state.Till this day, there is a yearly celebration of War festival in honour of their forefather who was a warrior and hunter, Pa Ossissa by Ossissa people in which there is display of war equipment such as cutlass, arrow, etc. During the British invasion on the community in 1880, the sculpture of the Ossissas was taken away by them and is till today in their museum in London. 

It is worthy of note that some Ossissa people still bear Igala tribal names (Obaje, Amaije, Eje, Attah, etc) and still retain names of some Igala names of some animals (atu, ocha, ejo, etc) and things as well as some Igala cultures. Appreciation to HRH Chief Nelson Bini; Onutu Uku of Umunor-Ossissa, Mr Amaije Godfrey of Umuoshimili, Mr Ochiagha Augustine Ashigba of Umueje, Augustine Eziechime of Umueleke, etc. Well, we will like to witness the Ossissa war demo in Idah during the United Igala Day celebration coming up soon. God bless Ossissa Igala Eto ans rest of us. Acheee!

In the year 2000, during the Olympic Games in Sydney (Australia), it only took 1 week for 70,000 condoms to run out in the village where the athletes stayed.

In fact, as the years have passed, Olympic athletes have demanded that they bring even more condoms.

For example, in 2012 during the London Olympics, more than 100 thousand condoms were needed.

Inside London 2012: Olympic Village Needs More Than 100,000 Condoms

It only took one week to run out of the 70,000 condoms supplied to Olympic Village during the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000. And during the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, 100,000 condoms were ordered for the athletes, but that still was not…

If a person falls from an airplane or a high altitude place and lands on a pile of pillows, will he or she survive?

There was once a member of a bombing crew who chose to jump out of a plane rather than burn in it. He had no parachute and fell to the ground. It was winter, and he landed in the forest, his fall shattering various branches along his length as he fell to the ground. He got some injuries, but he was put in jail. There was an officer who wrote the testimony that was handed to him, the letter was convincing about how extraordinary he was able to survive his free fall.

Yes, if you have a pile of super soft pillows, you stand a chance. I won't try it, there's a good chance you'll fall in the wrong place.

If I jump out of a plane at 30,000 feet, is there a chance I could survive the fall by perfectly plunging into the ocean?

Airplane doors open inwards, because of the difference in pressure between the inside and outside, it is basically impossible to open at 30,...

What are some examples of manipulation?

When the children passed an old house on their way home from school, they were always rubbing their sticks on the balcony railing and enjoying the sound. The older owner, who had been bothered by the noise for a long time, had a really good idea instead of scolding the kids.

He called the children over to him: "Children, the noise you make sounds very nice, I'll give you a pound a day if you keep going like this." So he gave the kids a pound a day.

In the second week he called the children over again: "Children, my money is scarce, I can only give you fifty pence, not a pound."

Now three weeks had passed and the old man called the children over to him for the last time: "Children, unfortunately I have no money, so I can't give you any more." The children: "No money, no noise" and so they stopped rubbing the sticks on the balcony railing.

What were the most 'badass' moments of history?

On October 14, 1912, Theodore Roosevelt was planning on giving a speech.

He started by saying, “Friends, I shall ask you to be as quiet as possible.”

He was then shot.

“I don’t know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot,” Roosevelt continues.

Much to the crowd’s shock, Roosevelt unbuttons his bloodstained shirt.

“It takes more than that to kill a bull moose,” Roosevelt assures the crowd.

Roosevelt takes his speech papers out of his coat pocket. There was a bullet hole straight through all fifty pages. The papers had saved his life.

Luckily for his speech, Roosevelt had a self-claimed photographic memory. He went on to give a ninety minute speech even though his aides insisted that he go to a hospital. Only with the speech completed did he agree to visit the hospital.

He was fifty-three at the
