Lawrence Of Arabia In Real Life
Colonel Thomas Edward Lawrence found himself in an unlikely position during the Great War. He was a British demolition artist who worked with Arab rebel allies to handle isolated depots and bridges of the Ottoman Empire. Yes, he was the basis of Lawrence of Arabia! According to him, he attacked 79 bridges on the railway so that they needed to be demolished and reconstructed. He damaged the railways so badly, and you can still see some of these ruins. The Turkish military decided to leave some of the rubble instead of exerting the effort to tear them down!

The Smallest Man And His Huge Pet Cat
What a great photo! Henry Behrens stood at only 30 inches tall, which made him the smallest man on the planet when he was still alive. On top of that, he only weighed 32 pounds or so. He joined Burton Lester’s troupe of small people and travel the world with the crew. We are glad that he did not mind the attention and even enjoyed it. Just check out this adorable photo of him dancing with his cat in 1956!
