Did you know that cremated remains weigh an average of three to nine pounds? In the past, people believed that freshly-exercised blood had healing properties and would pay executioners to drink it warm from the gallows. It wasn't unusual to be killed while skydiving and dancing. London's mayor, in 1665, ordered six-foot graves to be made for the dead. This was done in an effort to prevent death and disease. In Victorian Era, widows could stay in their graves up to two years. After that, they were cremated.

FAQ
What is your most secretive community?
This question might surprise you. This may make you feel uncomfortable as it challenges your perception of reality and the way we live. But there is a reason that this place exists. It isn't what you would expect.
It was known as the City of God to the ancient Greeks. It was also called the City of Destruction in the Bible.

Even a website exists to help track down the disappearances of the lost city Zugspitz.
So, where exactly did this town go? It's actually in Switzerland!
You can find Zugspitze at the border of Austria and Germany. The lake Lake Zugspitze is just beyond the mountain's summit.

Is there a more mysterious place than the Earth itself?
Antarctica is home to the most mysterious and remote place on Earth.
This is why we find it so captivating. Because it is unlike any other spot on Earth.
It is difficult to access because it is remote and extremely isolated. It is not what you see.
You'll also find the strangest species of wildlife in this natural wonder.
Let's now see how this amazing destination came to be so well-known for its mystery.
Antarctica: The South Pole
Antarctica is not known by anyone. Some believe it is "land of the ice". Some believe it means "land of ice". Others believe it is Greek mythology.
Antarktis is the name Antarktis was given to an island in ancient Greece by Zeus' twin brothers. According to legend, one twin was born in winter. Therefore, the name antarctic.
Others believe that the name comes from the Greek words anti meaning against and tropos meaning to turn. This would translate to land that is turned away from the sun.
Whatever the reason Antarctica has held a special fascination for people, it is undeniable.
It is also the lowest, windiest continent, driest, and highest. There are no trees, plants, or animals here because it is too cold.
This frozen wasteland is still alive.
It is home to approximately 90 percent of all life on Earth. Here are approximately 50% of all the animal and plant species in the world.
And what makes Antarctica such a unique environment? Here, water is frozen into ice rather than vaporizing into the air.
This causes large ice masses to rise above the ground.
These floating glaciers make up 80%. They're getting bigger every year.
The Antarctic Ice Sheet has grown 60 feet in the past 60 years.
If the melting goes on, the sea level may rise by as much as 200 feet. This could lead worldwide flooding.
However, not all scientists believe this to be bad news. Some scientists think global warming might be beneficial. They suggest that rising temperatures could cause ice sheet melt faster, leading to floods that flush out toxic chemicals from soil and bodies.
However, others caution that this theory sounds a lot like a plot in a science fiction movie.
What is the reason actors are blacklisted?
As an actor, rejection is much more common than for writers. Actors are likely to be rejected often. It doesn't matter if you get rejected a lot because eventually you'll meet someone you love.
Actors are often very talented and can make a living anywhere. Most actors don't care about making money. Actors love acting and storytelling. You'll be an actor if you love acting.
Sometimes, auditions are cancelled because you are either too young or too old for the job. Sometimes, you may lose an audition for a movie. That happens a lot.
After you've been cast, there may be criticism. Many people will tell you you look horrible or that you shouldn't be wearing make-up. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes, your performance as a fictional character can be ridiculed. You might play a gay man and everyone assumes that you are straight. Maybe you are a woman who is tough but cries often.
Or maybe you're asked to change your voice. Sometimes, they will ask you to sound more like a woman or a man. They want you to sound better most of the time.
To ignore criticisms is the best way to respond. Actors often feel that they've failed if they are told they did something wrong. The truth is they haven’t done anything wrong.
They weren't born with the talents that made them famous. And sometimes, no matter how hard they try, they don't fit the bill.
Blacklisting an actor could be for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Others think actors can be lazy. Others believe actors cheat.
No matter what the reason, you won't be blacklisted if your persistence persists. There are plenty of jobs available and you'll find them.
Keep trying and you will eventually succeed.

Hollywood scandals that shocked the globe
Nothing is more shocking that seeing someone be famous for their wrong reasons. It's even more frightening to see them fall from grace.
The best thing about watching how an industry reacts when it makes mistakes is the best part. Many celebrities have used alcohol and drugs in excess. Some even died young because of it.
The worst thing is when these stars are made public about their problems and shunned. That's where we found ourselves last week.
Heath Ledger, after a long and successful professional career, finally gave in to his demons. He overdosed on prescription pills, and after a brief battle with death, he passed away.
His family and close friends had difficulty accepting his death. The media took to him publically.
Heath was once one of the most gifted actors currently working. His performances in Brokeback Mountain earned Heath two Academy Award nominations.
Heath was not only an actor, but also directed and wrote films like A Knight's Tale and Monster's Ball.
Hollywood loved Heath but he grew too large for his boots. He started taking drugs and drinking heavily. He eventually went to rehab and was clean.
After he had gotten sober, he decided to make amends. He made a documentary called "Room 237," that chronicled the making and release of The Shining. It was originally scheduled to release this year, but it won’t be available in theaters until next.
Heath attempted to get into Hollywood every time. In fact, Heath was twice arrested on drug charges.
We are not suggesting that Heath should be allowed back into the show business. But it would have been nice to get some help before things spiralled out of control.
We hope Heath's story warns others who might think they can still have it all.
