17. The Most Venomous Spider In The World Has Killed Zero People In The Last 30 Years

The Sydney Funnelweb Spider is one of the most venomous spiders known to man. Its toxin is deadly to humans and apes, but largely harmless to other mammals. In cases of severe poisoning, symptoms are usually noticeable in an average time of 28 minutes. Children are particularly susceptible to severe poisoning, with one recorded case of a child dying within 15 minutes of being bitten. Of course that was before the anti-venom was developed in 1981, and since then there hasn't been a single recorded fatality. Although it has been suggested recently that supplies of the anti-venom are running low.

16. Ken Jeong, From Community And The Hangover, Is A Licensed Doctor

Far better known for his zany antics on television and film, Ken Jeong was an intelligent student - earning a place on his school's "High IQ Team" and playing the violin. He graduated from Duke University in 1990 and received an MD from the University of North Carolina in 1995. At the same time as completing his medical residency he was breaking into stand-up comedy and after being advised to move to LA he ended up with small roles in The Office, Entourage and Curb Your Enthusiasm. From there his career took off, but he is still licensed to practice medicine in California.

15. Over 95% Of People Involved In Airline Crashes Survive

You can blame the media for making this one unbelievable. We tend to only hear about the most tragic plane accidents, but the truth is that 95.7% of all people involved in plane crashes have survived. Even in the crashes that are classed as the most serious around 75% survive. There are a number of high-profile examples too; in 2005 all 309 passengers and crew survived the crash of Air France Flight 358, which has since been described as "The Miracle of Toronto". One of the most amazing is the story of Lion Air Flight 904, which in 2013 descended too quickly and landed in a small sea off Bali. Despite the plane breaking into two and immediately filling with water, all 108 on board - including five children and a baby - survived the crash.

13. A Man Was Visiting Hiroshima On Business When the Atomic Bomb Was Dropped And Survived To Return Home To Nagasaki Just In Time To Survive The Second Atomic Strike

Tsutoma Yamaguchi is a very unlucky man. He was visiting Hiroshima while working for Mitsubishi on 6th August 1945 when American planes dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan. He escaped home to Nagasaki and despite having been injured he returned to work on 9th August. At 11AM that day the second atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. In both cities he was only 3km away from where each bomb landed. Despite coming down with a fever he survived the second blast and went on to die at the age of 93.

12. The Characters In Winnie The Pooh All Represent Textbook Psychological Diagnoses

Here's something to ruin your childhood. In 2000 Dalhousie University's Pediatrics Department published an article that diagnosed every character in Winnie the Pooh with their own specific psychiatric disorder. Of course it's no surprise to hear that Eeyore clearly has depression and Christopher Robin has schizophrenia. But we also have Piglet's worrying being classic signs of "generalized anxiety disorder" and Tigger's whacky (snd sometimes criminal) activities being "ADHD of the hyperactive-impulsive subtype". Even Pooh himself is not psychologically healthy, and has been diagnosed with both inattentive ADHD and OCD.
