10. A rich man in Brazil once buried his Bentley, which grabbed the media’s attention. People criticized him for his extravagant gesture.
But moments before burying the car, he revealed: “People condemn me because I wanted to bury a million-dollar Bentley. In fact, most people bury something a lot more valuable: hearts, livers, lungs, eyes, kidneys. Many people are waiting for a transplant, and you bury healthy organs that can save lives.”
He asked, 'Is here anything worth living for if we cannot be of any help and support to our fellow human beings. Why live with these worldly possessions that are of no good'. He further added, ' It is absurd to bury your organs, which can save many lives around'.
11. A swarm of 20,000 bees followed a 65-year-old woman’s car for two days. It turns out their queen got stuck in her car.

When a National Park ranger, Tom, 41, drove past and saw the swarm of bees, he got worried that someone might get hurt. So he stopped to help out. He contacted the Bees Association, and they immediately came to round up the swarm.
When Carol realized that the drama was over, she drove back to her house. But a couple of bees were still following her. Her theory was that the queen was trapped in her car and the swarm was following her.
“Apparently, bees can swarm at this time of the year, and it is a very strong instinct for them to follow the queen,” she said.
