Bigfoot

A terrifying, ape-like creature said to roam in remote mountain forests, but has eluded researchers and baffled skeptics for more than 150 years. Standing over 6 ft. 6 in. (2 cm) high, with arms down to its knees, Bigfoot can easily carry away dogs and livestock. More than 1600 instances of Bigfoot sightings or trails have been recorded in the United States and Canada since the early 19th century.

Many people who have shot at Bigfoot from point-blank range report that the creature seems invulnerable to gunfire.

Megamouth Shark

A species of shark that was discovered in 1976 when a U.S. naval ship caught one on its anchor. Scientists dubbed it megamouth, for obvious reasons. Since then, the shark has been proven to be extremely elusive. Only 100 specimens of them have so far been found, but every one that can be examined reveals new information about these strange sharks.

Megamouth sharks can grow up to be 18 ft. (5.5 cm) long. To fuel such a huge body, it needs a lot of food, but, surprisingly l, this big fish is not a big game Hunter. It's a filter feeder and most of its diet consists of tiny, planktonic animals, which it strains from the water.

White Jesus

The false depiction of Jesus Christ that appears in paintings and all different types of media. Most people don't know the fact that Jesus in reality was an ancient Palestinian Jew. He wasn't the handsome white guy that's portrayed in movies and artwork.

It's that awkward moment when the Ku Klux Klan and all the racist Christians find out that the White Jesus they've been worshipping is actually a Middle Eastern Arab and not white at all.
