    Roar is not your typical movie. It wasn't made with trained animal actors. Instead, the filmmakers used real, wild animals like lions, tigers, and elephants. The cast and crew worked with these animals for eleven years! That's right—eleven years of living and filming with untrained wild animals. The movie features scenes that are both scary and exciting. The actors weren't just pretending to be scared—they were indeed in danger. Making Roar was a considerable risk for everyone involved.

    The Secret Space Program conspiracy theory is certainly one of the more outlandish ones out there. At its core, it involves the idea that a secret human civilization and space program has operated mostly in secret since the late 1800s. This all traces back to a fictional novel written under a pseudonym by a woman named Maria Orsic in 1871. The book outlines the idea that aliens came to Earth long ago and bred with humans to create a superior race.

    In the late 1950s, a political action group called the Society for Indecency to Naked Animals (SINA) was formed to address the grave issue of animals walking around in their natural, nude state. SINA's founder, G. Clifford Prout Jr., believed this indecency corrupts children and society. Prout and SINA pushed for all animals over 4 inches tall and 6 inches long to be clothed.

    Edward and Bertha Briney were a couple who inherited an old family farmhouse in rural Iowa back in the 1960s. They didn't live there themselves but wanted to keep it for sentimental reasons and to store family heirlooms. Over the years, as the house fell into disrepair, it became a spot for local teens to break into - some just to explore and hang out, others to vandalize and steal. Despite the Brineys' efforts to secure the property with locks and signs, the unwanted visitors kept finding their way inside.

    Dan Saunders was just an average 29-year-old bartender in the small Australian town of Wangaratta. After a long shift one night, he headed out for drinks with friends, only to realize he was out of cash. He walked to the nearest ATM, planning to withdraw money from his nearly empty savings account. However, the transaction failed when he tried transferring money from his maxed-out credit card to boost his savings balance, and the ATM still dispensed the cash. Dan realized he had stumbled onto a glitch in the system.
