Wired coincidence that happened in human life.
Very scary
The story of Sullivan is a striking one. Sullivan was born with a rare condition called Proteus Syndrome which caused him to grow to an extraordinary size. Despite his physical limitations, Sullivan was determined to lead a full life and found success as an actor and singer. He was an inspiration to many, showing the world that no matter what obstacles we face, we can still strive for greatness.
Sullivan was a young man living in poverty in rural Alabama. Despite the odds, he was determined to escape his circumstances and pursue a better life. He worked hard to get an education and eventually moved to the city to attend college. He eventually became a successful businessman, proving that anything is possible with hard work and dedication.
Sullivan's story is so strange that it's been featured on shows such as The Guinness Book of World Records, and Ripley's Believe It or Not. After his last lightning strike, Sullivan reportedly kept a metal rod in his pocket as a lightning rod. But that didn't help, as he passed away in 1983, after shooting himself. His ashes were scattered at the place where he was most struck by lightning, which is a fittingly ironic end to one of the most bizarre coincidences in history.
During the storm, Sullivan's lighting struck a record of nine times in one hour, leaving the townspeople in awe. The thunder was so loud it could be heard for miles around, shaking the ground and rattling windows. It was a sight to behold and a moment no one would soon forget.
Not only did he survive all 7 strikes, but he actually went on to live an incredibly long life–he passed away at the ripe old age of 71 in 1983. In all the years since then, nobody has been able to beat his record. Of course, being struck by lightning seven times is an incredibly scary thought, but Roy was never one to be scared off by the prospect of danger. He was an avid hunter and fisherman, and he even kept a pet bear for a while. But if you're wondering what he did to attract so much lightning, the answer is really nothing. He was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
This isn't even the scariest part: each time he was hit by lightning, it was under different circumstances. The first time, he was fishing in a river. The second time, he was in his ranger tower. The third time, he was standing in his front yard. The fourth time, he was in his car. The fifth time, he was walking outside. The sixth time, he was standing in the doorway of his house. And the seventh and final time, he was standing in an open field. That's right, he was struck by lightning 7 times in 35 years!
Sullivan himself was quoted as saying "I'm scared of thunder and lightning. It's already hit me seven times and I don't want it to hit me anymore." It's hard to imagine anyone surviving 7 lightning strikes, but somehow Sullivan managed it. His record has yet to be broken, and it's unlikely that anyone else will be willing to take the risk of attempting to break it.
Sullivan's record is still unmatched, as no one else has even come close to being struck by lightning as many times as he was. While some of the other coincidences on this list are just plain strange, Sullivan's case is an example of an extremely rare phenomenon, and it has been studied by meteorologists and scientists ever since it first happened.

Bizarre and chaotic things about Elephants you never know.
SO-Called "sensed danger" an elephant will go into panic mode and bury somebody alive the elephant was likely trying to protect them from something like a predator or saber tooth tiger though this is not always the case an elephant may bury a human simply because they are afraid or lost in a moments of confusion or sadness this has happened more than once with children most famously in 2008 when an 4-year old boy wandered away from his family in Hawaii and was found buried 2 feet beneath the surface of the sand next to two toppled palm trees his parents had given him a coin as he walked away so that he could find his way back home number seven elephants can drink water straight from the ground elephants have been seen doing this and it's not just with water either as they have also been seen drinking mud and even dirt although why they do this is unknown number six elephants are capable of going without water for up to four days and usually only go without drinking for about two hours at a time but once they start drinking again they keep going until they're sated elephants will often travel in groups of about 10-30 creatures and although these groups are mostly peaceful interactions between the members do happen from time to time there have been reports of fights between different groups of elephants including intergroup violence between different herds of elephants however these fights are usually very brief and are usually over something like food or territory number five

Death is a black hole. Think about it. A black hole is the corpse of a star, something once warm and bright, now come to the end of its life cycle. But some will argue that the cycle of life does not end with death. That death is merely another path we must walk once our bodies expire and our souls ascend. In that moment, when the fuel in the star’s chemical tank hits empty and the shiny matte coat explodes into supernova, the mass left behind – the corpse – becomes a black hole. We understand that, around such a vast cadaver, dimensions work a little differently in death to the way we’re used to in life. For example, light cannot escape the pull of a black hole when it hits the point of no return. That’s where it gets its colour. Space itself is contorted by a black hole. That’s where it gets its funny shape. Even time. Time slows right down the closer you get to it. The closer you get to a black hole. The closer you get to death.
