Dexter has been linked to 3 real life crimes!


Dexter is an interesting anti-hero. He's sort of the Robin Hood of murder, killing guilty people that he deems are doing harm to society. This sense of justice and his vigilante methods make for good television, but they have also inspired real life murders!

The three murderers all seem to have an admiration or they identify with Dexter. One of them even started leading a double life, complete with a Facebook profile. Another one, when asked why he did it, said: "I have no regrets, these people are plighting our society, if we don't do anything about it, who will?"

It's very likely that these people would have found a different trigger for their murders even if Dexter didn't exist. What do you think? Do shows like Dexter influence people to do these horrible things, or have no influence at all?

The safest UPS driver travelled 3 million miles without an accident!


It only took him 45 years to reach the milestone, but in 2007, Ronald Sowder eclipsed the 3 million mile mark without a single accident. To put that into perspective, that's enough distance to make 6 trips to and from the moon!

UPS provides another, more down-to-earth comparison: he's driven the equivalent of more than 120 trips around the equator. According to UPS only one other driver has come close to Sowder's mark in the 100-year history of the company.

The movie Lord of War used 3000 real AK-47s because they were cheaper than props!


 

The Nicholas Cage movie is about how a man becomes an arms dealer. This makes it appropriate that the director of the film was involved in a little arms dealing to make the movie. 

Because of his small budget, he decided he couldn't afford to make 3,000 prop guns to shoot his film. So he went to the Czech Republic and bought 3000 Kalashnikov automatic rifles for filming. Not only that, at the end of the shoot, he sold them for a loss. He meant to destroy them but couldn't afford to either.

The Navy uses Sea Lions to catch terrorists!


The Navy trains and uses sea lions to do some amazing things. They can recognize different types of devices (for example, radio markers or live sea-mines) and act accordingly. They can even catch unwanted divers by attaching a leg-cuff to their thighs!

The reason sea lions are used is because they are well suited for low-light activities underwater. They have a good sense of direction and their low-light abilities means that they can perform better than humans and even current technology!
