Six Insane Discoveries That Science Can't Explain
There's a pretty cool post on Cracked.com called Six Insane Discoveries That Science Can't Explain. The post covers some mysteries that have never been solved. Some of them I'd heard of, but most of them were new to me. Like this one:
Costa Rica and a few surrounding areas are scattered with giant stone balls. They are smooth and perfectly spherical, or nearly so. Some of them are quite small, a few inches in diameter, but some of them are as large as eight feet in diameter weighing several tons.
They have been chiseled to perfection by persons unknown, despite the fact that Costa Rica is still not scheduled to enter the Bronze Age until 2013.The are balls everywhere and serve no apparent purpose, like a swing club on Gentlemen's Night.
Some of the balls have been blasted apart by locals hoping to find gold, coffee beans, or even babies. Some have been rolled around, but some are too heavy to move even with a bulldozer. Not that they have bulldozers in Costa Rica.
