Although most people can take criticism reasonably well, some people completely snap after reading a few harsh words. The following people harassed, stalked, and even assaulted people who dared to leave a negative review. 10 Richard Brittain Richard Brittain was delighted with early reviews of his novel, The World Rose. He claimed that critics loved his book, comparing him to Dickens, Shakespeare, and Rowling. Only a few “idiots” and “teenagers” gave him bad reviews....

10The Stanley Kubrick/Stephen King War Initially, King was overjoyed that Kubrick was going to direct an adaptation of his book. The feeling, however, was not mutual. Kubrick called King’s writing “weak” and refused to even look at King’s screenplay, preferring to co-write his own. Kubrick then proceeded to throw out large parts of the book, including what King thought was the premise: Jack Torrance as a regular guy driven insane by alcoholism, solitude, and the paranormal....

But once in a while, a fugitive slips through the cracks and outwits law enforcement. Here, we look at 10 fugitives who have spent at least 25 years on the run from the police and may never be caught. 10 Donald Eugene Webb In 1980, Donald Eugene Webb shot and killed Gregory Adams, police chief of the small town of Saxonburg, Pennsylvania. A routine traffic stop escalated into an altercation, and Webb beat Adams badly before shooting him....

10 Bittaker & Norris Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris terrorized Southern California for four months in 1979. The two fearsome men had met in prison and immediately bonded through their mutual interests of hurting people. Once out of prison, Bittaker and Norris purchased a van they dubbed “Murder Mac” and started driving around in search of female victims to stalk and abduct. Over the course of their reign of terror, they caught, tortured with an array of tools, sexually abused, and eventually murdered five women....

10John Scott Haldane Scottish scientist John Scott Haldane studied the physiology of breathing. He learned about the effects that various dangerous gases can have on the body and the mind, oftentimes by experimenting on himself (and sometimes his son). One such case took place in 1893, when he locked himself in an airtight box, affectionately named “the coffin,” and remained inside for eight hours. He breathed the same air over and over again and noted the effects this had on him....

Bill Clinton served two terms in the White House following election victories in 1992 and 1996. In his case, the closet contains quite a few skeletons. In fact, much like the connections between the Bush and Bin Laden families, the skeletons in Bill Clinton’s past range from intriguing to deadly. 10 The Arkansas Development Finance Authority The Arkansas Development Finance Authority (ADFA) came into being in 1985 while Bill Clinton was the governor of Arkansas....

But then there are the posters, photo-ops, and slogans that were ill-advised from the get-go. The sort that involved decisions so monumentally dumb that everyone involved probably just wishes the whole world would forget about them. 10‘Hang Nelson Mandela’ Posters For a short time in the 1980s, Britain’s Conservative Party was home to a radical offshoot. Known as the Federation of Conservative Students (FCS), it was basically the Tea Party of its day....

10Forensic Experts Are Misled By False Evidence Especially after watching TV shows such as CSI, many of us believe that forensic methods are more scientifically precise than they are. Even worse, the findings by forensic experts may be influenced by incorrect information they received about a case, such as a false confession. The results of a study published in 2011 found that experienced forensics experts such as fingerprint experts and polygraph examiners are often influenced by false confessions when conducting their analyses....

NASA may have endless teams of experts and a PR department at the ready to debunk those myths, but through the years, a few dirty little secrets have come to light. While some appear irrefutable and others still boast some camps of speculation, the secrets confirm that those working at the space agency are, in fact, only human after all. 10They Accidentally Recorded Over The Original Tapes Of The Apollo 11 Moon Landing Conspiracy theorists have accused NASA of staging the Moon landing since the day the footage aired on live TV....

After viewing these ten images of abandoned prisons, you’ll likely agree. 10 Old New Mexico State Penitentiary Hardcore criminals engaged in two riots in the Old New Mexico State Penitentiary before it moved in 1956. By the ’70s, the prison was severely overcrowded, and a newly instated “snitch system” enraged a large number of prisoners. On February 2 and 3, 1980, the inmates overran the prison building in a terrifying riot during which 12 guards were taken hostage, and 33 inmates were killed by other prisoners....

10First Woman To Fly Across the Channel Although her name is nowadays remembered by a small group of people, Harriet Quimby was one of the greatest early female aviators. In 1911, Quimby became the first woman in the country to get her pilot’s license with the Aero Club of America. When she wasn’t busy flying planes recreationally, Harriet Quimby enjoyed quite a successful career in Hollywood by writing screenplays that were turned into silent shorts....

10Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies Galaxies come in many forms, and now we’ve discovered a new type: fluffy and wispy with incredibly few stars. At 60,000 light-years wide, some of these approach the size of our own Milky Way, yet hold only 1 percent as many stars. In a collaboration between Maunakea’s giant Keck telescope and the much smaller but more awesomely named Dragonfly Telephoto Array, astronomers have discovered 47 ultra-diffuse, tissue-dense galaxies (UDGs)....

But are the nails the only cause of pain? Perhaps something more takes place than what is readily apparent to the naked eye. Today, medical science sheds light on what happens to a victim’s body during the process of being crucified. The physiological responses the body undergoes when hanging from the wood are beyond what most of us even realize—and the results are more than grim. Here are ten excruciatingly painful facts about crucifixion that you may have never realized before....

The meaning behind some memorials may never be known, particularly when those who knew the deceased are dead and gone themselves. For some people, however, their final resting place is a chance to have the last word in an argument or to celebrate their achievements in life. Whatever the reason for their creation, some gravestones make for very interesting reading. 10 Sir Jeffrey Hudson Born in 1619, Sir Jeffrey Hudson had a unique claim to fame when he was alive and his memorial ensures that he will remembered for it in death....

In fact, there are more fungal species than plant or animal species. They’re also more closely related to animals than plants. But what’s really amazing is how they affect our world in such dramatic ways even though we’re hardly aware of them. 10Nature’s Garbage Disposals We throw away many things that are considered to be nonbiodegradable. For example, plastic can take hundreds of years to break down. Once it does, it turns into microplastic particles that can still harm the environment, particularly marine life....

The Error: The former Soviet Union celebrated the October Revolution in October. Although the Bolsheviks took control over October 25-26, 1917, this was under the Old Style (Julian) calendar. One of the first things the Communists did was to modernize their calendar to the Gregorian Calendar – thereby pushing the day ahead 13 days (into November). This was a major holiday in the Soviet Union, mostly because with the official ban on religion the biggest holidays were civil holidays such as May Day and the October Revolution....

The information concerning the photos on this list was checked with different sources concluding that these photos are the only ones known to exist. However I hope if anyone does know of other photos of the individuals in this list you will share the information in the comments. Bahadur Shah II was the last of the Mughal emperors that ruled over India for over 300 years. After the death of his father in 1837 Bahadur Shah II was placed on the throne when he was a little over 60 years of age....

These filibusters were frequently successful, and their military conquests helped to launch individual political careers. In other instances, military adventurers helped to push the world further to the brink of total war, especially in the wake of the territorial changes that accompanied the end of World War I. Flamboyant and always controversial, these filibusters and military adventurers left indelible marks on their epochs. In many ways, we are still dealing with the consequences today....

10 Cincinnati Riots Of 1829 The Cincinnati riots of 1829 were some of the earliest incidents of racial violence against immigrants in the US. These riots were mostly incited by white Irish immigrants in Ohio who felt threatened by the influx of African-American settlers. Ohio was a free state when it became part of the US. That made it a refuge for African Americans who had escaped slavery or were trying to make a life in the West....

102014 Outbreak As of August 6, 2014, the World Health Organization claimed that 932 people had died of Ebola so far in the summer of 2014. In a world of billions, this number may seem statistically insignificant, but it is important to realize that tiny rural communities have been hit especially hard. On August 5, a nurse in Lagos was the first Nigerian to die of the virus. This is particularly horrifying, as Lagos is the most populous city in Africa, densely packed with an estimated 21 million citizens....
