Lawrence Of Arabia In Real Life

Colonel Thomas Edward Lawrence was in an unusual situation during the First World War. He was a British demolition artist who worked with Arab rebels to destroy Ottoman Empire depots and bridges. Lawrence of Arabia owes his existence to him! He attacked 79 railway bridges, according to him, forcing them to be demolished and rebuilt. He completely wrecked the railways, and some of the ruins can still be seen today. The Turkish military decided to leave some of the rubble rather than tearing it down!

The Smallest Man And His Huge Pet Cat

What an incredible picture! When Henry Behrens was alive, he was the smallest man on the planet, standing only 30 inches tall. Furthermore, he weighed only about 32 pounds. He joined Burton Lester’s small people troupe and traveled with them around the world. We’re grateful he didn’t mind and even seemed to enjoy the attention. Take a look at this adorable photo of him dancing with his cat from 1956!
