The RMS Titanic was the largest ship at the time of its maiden voyage back in 1912 (at 269.1 meters long and 53.3 meters high), and was widely regarded as unsinkable. Unfortunately for the 1,500+ people who died, that wasn’t quite true after it collided with an Iceberg five days after launching. For more facts about the Titanic, read on! 1.  Even after being adjusted for inflation, the 1997 movie Titanic cost more than the RMS Titanic. It cost $7,500,000 to build the RMS Titanic in 1912, and $200,000,000 to make the movie “Titanic” in 1997. Adjusted for inflation (as of 2013) this translates to roughly $176,482,575 and $290,289,096 respectively. 2. There was actually a film made about the Titanic 29 days after it sank. An actress who actually survived the catastrophe played a part in the movie, but was so traumatized by reliving the experience that she mentally broke down and never acted again.   The film was called “ Saved by the Titanic ” and was a silent motion pict

Matt Miller suffers from a bizarre attachment disorder that compelled him to have a plastic baby doll surgically implanted into his body.

The impulses are almost always rooted in psychological trauma from childhood and that is what is behind this unusual case.” Miller played excessively with dolls as a child and apparently he had a favorite named Amanda. His taunting big sister told him he was too big (16 at the time) to play with dolls and then she stole Amanda. This devastated Matt. “He loved this doll, literally, like it was is own child, mother and lover wrapped into one plastic human form,” the psychologist said. Last year Miller found the doll, hidden 32-years ago, in an attic. This drew more abusive teasing from his sister when she found him cradling the doll, “bottle feeding” it, calling the doll “my little ray of s

“Many years ago I had a martial arts master from Korea. It was just like in the movies—he’d make me do crazy things like carry buckets of water up flights of stairs. He was very unaccepting of apathy. I was young at the time, so when he’d asked me a question, I’d often answer by shrugging, or saying ‘I don’t know’ or ‘I guess.’ Then one day, he told me: ‘You never give me straight answer. Your life is too complicate. I make simple for you. Do you want to be weak or str ong?’ I said, ‘Strong.’ ‘Do you want to be slow or fast?’ ‘Fast.’ ‘Do you want to be smart or stupid?’ ‘Smart.’ ‘Do you want to be alive or dead?’ ‘Alive.’ ‘You shrug one more time, you’ll want to be dead.’”
