Here are some of the strangest events in history:
- Pepsi’s Military: In the late 1950s, Pepsi had the sixth largest military in the world 1.
- The Marathon at the 1904 Olympics: The marathon at the 1904 Olympics was a total mess. The first-place finisher did most of the race in a car, the guy in second almost died from eating rat poison, and the fourth-place finisher raced in dress pants and shoes, and took a nap by the side of the road for part of the race 1.
- Unsinkable Sam: A cat named Oscar started as a ship’s cat aboard the Nazi ship Bismarck, which was sunk by the British ship HMS Cossack in 1941. The British crew found the cat floating on a board hours after the ship sank, took him aboard, and named him Oscar. Later in the war, the Cossack sank after being hit by a torpedo, killing 159 crew members. Oscar survived and was transferred to the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal, which was also sunk by a torpedo. Oscar was found floating on a board again and rescued by the destroyer HMS Legion. After the war, Oscar retired to a seaman’s home in Belfast, Northern Ireland, where he lived until his death in 1955 1.
I hope you find these events as interesting as I do!
