On April 6, 1893 Andy Bowen and Jack Burke fought the longest boxing match in history, lasting 110 rounds over seven hours and 19 minutes at the Olympic Club in New Orleans. The bout ended with a decision of "no contest" after both fighters became too tired and dazed to leave their chairs. The fight dragged on for so long that spectators fell asleep in their seats. Have you ever gone to a boxing match?

Influencer Suellen Carey has called it quits in her marriage ... to herself. After making headlines last year when she married herself, in a practice known as sologamy, she apparently came to the realization that her marriage was not working. Originally from Brazil, the 36-year-old influencer -- who lives in London -- even went to couples therapy alone to do everything she could to try and make her one-sided marriage last. But, after ten sessions (with probably a very confused therapist) she ultimately decided to call it quits. Yes, this is a true story, and my only question is, does anyone here feel marrying yourself makes any sense?

In 1962, in Tanganyika, East Africa (now called Tanzania), in a rural boarding school on the shore of Lake Victoria, dozens of adolescent girls began to laugh uncontrollably. After trying to stop these mysterious breakouts for a month and a half, school officials gave up and sent everyone home. As the girls went home across the region, so did their laughter. Over 1000 people were affected. Families and governments enlisted all kinds of experts to give them a clue about what was going on. Eventually, an official diagnosis: mass hysteria. About two years after it began, the epidemic petered out. Fortunately, nobody died and everybody recovered. Have you ever laughed so uncontrollably, you could not stop?

Throughout 1942, residents of Pascagoula, Mississippi were terrorized by a "Phantom Barber." He would break into homes late at night but he wasn't there to rob the home. Instead, he was there to give women and girls an unwanted, nocturnal haircut, leaving with nothing but a handful of hair. The police started an investigation to figure out who or what was behind these unsolved cases. They talked to witnesses and looked for clues. But the Phantom Barber was hard to find, leaving only their strange work behind. The community got more worried as time went on. They wanted to know who the Phantom Barber was and why they were doing this. The chilling tale of the Pascagoula Barber kept everyone guessing. A man was arrested, but eventually released after taking a lie detector test, and to this day, the real identity remains a mystery. Have you ever heard about this "hair raising" story?
