9 Most Strange Train Railways
Maeklong Market Railway (Thailand)
The food market in Maeklong, Thailand is located on top of train tracks. Several times a day shopkeepers swiftly pack up their food stalls and pull back their canopies to let the trains pass. Once the trains have rumbled through, the crates of vegetables, fish, and eggs are placed back into position and shoppers return to the tracks, which serve as a path through the market.

10 Most AMAZING CLIMBER SURVIVAL STORIES
Climbing relies in no small part on self-management and mental strength; and keeping anxiety in check and having the confidence to reach one’s goals may also be key. Taking on the world’s highest peaks is an adrenaline-filled activity fraught with danger, and the lure of the summit can drive mountaineers to push themselves and achieve great things.
Sometimes, however, events go terribly wrong, and unfortunate adventurers find themselves caught in serious life-or-death situations, forced to dig deeper than ever before and dredge the will to survive. Climbers have been forced to witness the deaths of companions and friends, have lost body parts to frostbite, and have even experienced the so-called Third Man factor, which has been described by scientists as a kind of coping mechanism.
Take a look at the traumatic circumstances these ten climbers endured to survive – physically, mentally and emotionally – against the odds. All ten stories are inspirational and a testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit.

10 Most Popular U.S. Presidents Who Never Graduated From College
Our nation’s leaders carry the weight of the country on their shoulders, so it’s not unreasonable to expect them to have attained a higher educational level than the Average Joe. The current President of the United States, Barack Obama, is certainly no slouch in the academic department: he studied political science at Columbia University, majoring in international relations. In 1991 Obama graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School.
However, some of the greatest presidents in US history did not set foot in an institute of higher learning, let alone graduate from one. Often, education was simply not an option for the following ten presidents. That said, through hard work and sheer determination – or an action-packed stint in the US Army – they managed to rise to the top. And though they may not have been college graduates themselves, they still realized the importance of education.

12 Amazing Bionic Animals
Beauty the Bald Eagle
Beauty was found foraging on a rubbish tip, painfully emaciated. Closer inspection revealed that she’d been shot in the face and the top part of her beak had been blown off. Initially, she was force-fed liquids through a tube, before being fed solid food with forceps. Many people thought Beauty should be put to sleep, but her rescuers refused to give up hope and eventually came across an engineer who, with the help of scientists, researchers and even his own dentist, designed and built Beauty’s new upper mandible.
