Lawrence Of Arabia In Real Life
During the First World War, Colonel Thomas Edward Lawrence found himself in an unusual situation. He was a British demolition artist who collaborated with Arab rebel allies to demolish Ottoman Empire depots and bridges. He was the inspiration for Lawrence of Arabia! According to him, he attacked 79 railway bridges, causing them to need to be demolished and rebuilt. He wrecked the railways so badly that some of the ruins can still be seen. Instead of tearing down some of the rubble, the Turkish military decided to leave some of it!

The Smallest Man And His Huge Pet Cat
What a fantastic photograph! Henry Behrens was the smallest man on the planet when he was alive, standing only 30 inches tall. On top of that, he was only about 32 pounds. He became a member of Burton Lester’s small people troupe and traveled around the world with them. We’re glad he didn’t mind and even enjoyed the attention. Just look at this adorable photo from 1956 of him dancing with his cat!
