30 Facts That Sound Bizarre But Are Real, Shared By Folks In This Online Community

However, the improbability of any fact depends on how much we know about this fact. For example, the story that Miss Piggy and Master Yoda were indeed voiced by the same person will sparkle with completely new colors if you know that Frank Oz is the very voice of Yoda, and also an outstanding film director and actor.

It was Frank Oz who directed several famous comedies of the late '80s and early '90s, for example, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels or What About Bob?. In addition, Fungus from Monsters, Inc. also speaks in his voice, and Subconscious Guard Dave from Inside Out too. And if you want to remember what Frank Oz looks like, just check out the Knives Out movie. Remember Alan Stevens, Mr. Harlan Thrombey's counsel? Yes, he is the one! Isn't it true that this makes this story fuller and more interesting?

Various time paradoxes are no less exciting. For example, the stegosaurus and tyrannosaurus, which we used to see fighting each other for life and death in various movies and cartoons, are actually really separated by an unimaginable abyss of time. Stegosaurus lived at the end of the Jurassic period - about 150 million years ago, but the tyrannosaurus occupied the very end of the Cretaceous period, about 70 million years ago.

So yes, the T-rex is about the same time away from us as it is from its classic on-screen rival. However, this in no way made life easier for a real stegosaurus - the bipedal predatory allosaurus that lived with it in the same era was no less dangerous than the T-rex, and loved to eat just as much.

Returning to temporary paradoxes, which are by no means paradoxes - the iconic beauty of the ancient world, Queen Cleopatra, was a contemporary of Julius Caesar and passed away in 30 BC. Thus, about two thousand years separate Cleopatra from the creation of the iPhone, but almost four and a half thousand years from the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Yes, if you ever invent a time machine, then traveling to take a selfie with Cleopatra will take less than half as long as it would to travel to shoot a brand new pyramid on your iPhone.
