11 Bizarre moments that took place in historical

We can only see history through book or movies but do we really know that everything that happened is actually true? From Dolphins launching missiles to Pepsi, the Soda company having the 6th largest military in the world here are 13 most bizarre facts that took place in the history of the world:

1. During the 1904 Olympics hosted in St. Louis, this year’s marathon was probably one of the most messiest of all time. The runner who came in first, did most of the race in his car as his leg was cramping. The runner who came in second almost died from eating rat poison. The person who came in fourth finished the race in dress pants and shoes and even took a nap on the side of the road for the most part of the race as he also suffered with leg cramps and yet managed to finish in fourth.
2. Unsinkable Sam is the cat, who was also called Oscar that boarded the Nazi ship Bismarck in 1941. After hours, the British crew found the cat floating on a board and took the cat into their ship, the Cossack.

Oscar died in 1955, 14 years after the sinking of Bismarck.
3. At one point, Pepsi had the 6th largest military in the world. During 1959, the vice President for Pepsi attended the American exhibition in Moscow to convince the Soviet Union of the benefits of capitalism. Although Pepsi was a big hit at the exhibition, the Soviet money was not accepted worldwide. So, the USST bought billions of dollars worth of Pepsi by trading submarines, military ships and vodka and soda. For a brief moment, Pepsi had the 6th largest military in the world until they sold all of their ships and submarines for scrap recycling.
4. A British Army officer called ‘Mad Jack Churchill’ became famous during World War II for singing during the war with his bagpipes. He was the last man standing on his end. Before he was captures, he played Will ye no come back again on his bagpipes before being knocked unconscious by a grenade. He was taken to Sachsenhausen concentration camp but escaped after a year. After the war, he appeared as an extra in the 1952 movie Ivanhoe.
5. A stewardess named Violet Jessop survived not only the Titanic sinking but even its sister ship sinking.
