Nineteen-year-old Mange Ram from India was knocked unconscious on a pilgrimage by stampeding devotees on the way to the Naina Devi shrine in the Himalayan state of Himachal Pradesh.
Shaun from Deputy Dog has reavealed the lengths some people will go to to get a suntan. In an attempt to have sunlight 24/7, Italian ship engineer, Angelo Invernizzi, from Marcellise, and his architect friend Ettore Fagiouli created a house that rotates to face the sun all year-round.
Sporting a 43 meter tower and weighing a whopping 1,500 tons the wedged shaped building rotates on a circular track at a speed of 4mm per second, which means the building would take just over 9 hours to make a complete rotation.
Built between 1929 and 1935, this amazing feat of architectural brilliance was way ahead of its time.
