Jesse Tafero - 1990 Photo: Florida Department of Corrections /  Wikimedia Commons  /  Public Domain In 1976, Jesse Tafero, his wife, their two children, and Tafero's friend Walter Rhodes were sleeping in a parked car when a patrol trooper, Phillip Black, tried to wake them up. Black spotted a gun on the floor of the car and wanted to speak to everyone inside. But as they got out, Rhodes and Tafero allegedly jumped the officer, shot Black and Constable Donald Irwin, and took off. Tafero was convicted and sentenced to capital punishment. As the first surge of electricity pulsed through the electric chair, Tafero's head suddenly caught on fire. A 6-inch flame shot out of Tafero's head due to one of his executioners using a  synthetic sponge  instead of a sea sponge. Two more jolts were delivered, and Tafero finally died  after seven minutes.  However,  after Tafero's execution , Rhodes admitted he was the one who took out the officers, not ...

These Vintage Snapshots of Naked World War II Soldiers Show the Intimate Side of War Every harrowing day for a serviceman during World War II was potentially his last. To help bolster troops against the horrors of combat, commanders encouraged them to form tight “buddy” relationships for emotional support. Many war buddies, together every moment, and depending on each other to survive, formed intimate friendships. When they weren’t fighting side by side, they relaxed together, discharging tension in boisterous—sometimes naked—play. The full extent of nude horseplay among men during World War II can’t be known, as cameras were rare and film hard to process, but some men did document this unprecedented male bonding in small, anonymous photos mostly kept hidden away until their deaths. In  My Buddy: World War II Laid Bare , a fascinating book available from  Taschen , editor Dian Hanson assembles images of Allied soldiers and sailors at their most unguarded. These personal snapsh...

The story of Chris McCandless, the American adventurer who we can all learn from Chris McCandless was an American adventurer and subject of the book "Into the Wild" by Jon Krakauer, which was later adapted into a film. Born on February 12, 1968, in El Segundo, California, McCandless grew up in a middle-class family and had a promising future ahead of him. After graduating from Emory University in 1990, McCandless embarked on a journey of self-discovery. He abandoned his possessions, donated his savings to charity, and cut off contact with his family, adopting the alias "Alexander Supertramp." Inspired by the writings of Jack London and Henry David Thoreau, McCandless sought a solitary and simpler existence, free from societal constraints. In 1992, McCandless hitchhiked to Alaska and lived off the land in the wilderness of the Denali National Park. He survived for several months, relying on his survival skills, foraging for food, and even hunting small game. However,...

The Ganges River, India. Every day, around three million litres of sewage is emptied into the Ganges – and only about half of that has undergone any kind of treatment. The river’s waters are so dirty that it’s considered one of the most polluted waterways in the world. But there’s more than just sewage entering this river; waste from tanneries, chemical plants, textile mills, slaughter houses and even hospitals is dumped, untreated, into it. — Hindus also consider the banks of the Ganges to be one of the most auspicious places to die and be cremated. After cremation, the remains are placed into the river and left to float downstream. — Some bodies, such as those of young children, are never even cremated and instead are just wrapped in white cloth and sent on their way. In Varanasi, the holiest city along the banks of the Ganges, it’s estimated that 40,000 bodies are cremated every year. — Scientists have discovered ‘super bacteria’ living in the waters that are resistant to most forms...

As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. And as the other saying goes, the face is often the mirror of the mind. Lucky for us, these photos that captured people's candid reactions prove that both of these are true. Keep scrolling for a look at these people who were just so unhappy with what was happening around them, they couldn't hide it from the camera.  Why Not a Bar of Soap? After being trapped in a coal mine for an inordinate length of time, you’ll probably be desperate to take a long hot shower, enjoy a good meal, and embrace your loved ones. It doesn't look like this man, covered in dirt from head to toe, is too excited to receive a bouquet of cheap flowers. We're sure that gift is way down the list of priorities, and we can't blame him. Lesson learned: when you’re trying to cheer someone up after a near-death experience, go for more than just chrysanthemums or daisies. With florals, it’s both the thought and the arrangement that count. The Pu...
