10 Amazing Things You Probably Didn't Know About
1. Steve Jobs smelled
Steve Jobs |
There was a time in his life that Steve Jobs believed that if he ate only fruit, he wouldn't have to take a shower. He did this for quite a while, and it started to bother his co-workers early on in his career. Eventually, the management transferred him to the night shift, so they wouldn't have to deal with the smell while they were working during the day. Eventually, Jobs realized that fruit would not be enough to stay clean, so he started showering again, and that made his co-workers very happy. This wasn't jobs only disgusting habit. Though when he would feel stressed out at work, he would wash his feet in the toilet to relieve the stress. It may be gross, however, you can't really say much about it. I mean the man was a genius with technology after all.
2. So many teeth

Most people hate going to the dentist. They go, but they would rather not. There was a 17 year old boy in India, named Sheik Gavi, who really had a reason to hate the dentist. He had a composite Odin Toma which was a rare tumor that caused additional teeth to grow and fill up his mouth. He had over 200 small teeth grow in a very short period of time, and that means speaking and eating very difficult. By the time he saw the dentist, he had to have surgery. They had to use a hammer and chisel. It took them six hours to pull 232 teeth out of his mouth.

However, it wasn't the human stars that had the problems. It was actually the boat itself. In 1998, the Greek authorities found a great deal of Heroin aboard the Pacific Princess, which was the boat used in the show. They discovered that the ship was used by drug smugglers. This wasn't the only issue the boat had either. In 2013, after the boat released toxic gases, two people were killed. Later that year, it was sold as scrap.
