13 Recent studies have found that more than 90 percent of women have sexual fantasies, and that over one-thirds to two-thirds at least occasionally fantasize about rape or forced sex. 

A study conducted by researchers at Notre Dame and the University of North Texas involved 355 female undergraduates who were asked questions about their sexual fantasies. Among the participants, 62 percent admitted to fantasizing about at least one of the eight forced sex or rape scenarios they were questioned about.(source)

14 The original version of Black Lightning, one of the first DC’s African American superheroes, was a white racist who turned into black superhero in times of stress. He was described by the comic historian Don Markstein as “an insult to practically everybody with any point of view at all.”

Initially called the Black Bomber, the superhero character had two identities, and two girlfriends who knew about the change he undergoes. But, he wasn’t aware of his dual nature and once when he saves someone whom he can’t clearly see he swears after finding out that it was a black person. That version was never printed, and the new editor, Tony Isabella, who was assigned the comic, changed the story. The superhero became a black athlete, who later becomes a teacher to help make a difference and at night puts on his costume becoming Black Lightning.(1, 2)

15 In US, more than 90% of people with developmental disabilities experience some form of sexual abuse and 49% of them experience 10 or more such incidents. 

People with disabilities usually experience more abusive behavior than those without them and it is estimated that in between 15,000 to 19,000 people with intellectual disabilities are raped each year. Along with the sexual abuse, they might experience other problems related to their disability such as increased vulnerability, their ability or inability to consent to any sexual activity and lack of enough support system in the event of abuse.(source)

16 According to a report called “Lifetime Likelihood of Going to State or Federal Prison”, 28.5% of black males in US are likely to go to prison, compared to 4.4% of white males. 

The percentages are based on the rate at which people went to prison in 1991 which, if unchanged, would mean an estimated 5.1% of all people in the US would serve prison sentence during their lifetime. The report is drawn with the ages of first time prison admission between 13 and 80. According to it, the percentage Hispanic males likely to serve is 16 whereas for all males it is 9.(source)

17 The 67 wealthiest people in the world have more combined wealth than the poorest 3.5 billion.

So, each of these 67 wealthiest people, on an average owns as much as what 52 million people own together. Bill Gates alone has a net worth of $76 billion and worth the same as 156 million poor people from the bottom level of net worth of all people. Not very surprisingly, among these 67, 47 percent are from the United States. The second highest being from Germany and Russia, and the rest are from 13 other countries.(source)

18 Australian academic has claimed that the Australian accent is slurred because their forefathers regularly got drunk together and through their frequent interactions unknowingly added an alcoholic slur to the national speech patterns.

According to Victoria University public speaking expert Dean Frankel, alcohol has been part of Australian culture for a very long time and that it is to the Australians what guns are to Americans. He also said that Australians use only two-thirds of the alphabet when speaking, almost substituting the letter ‘w’ for ‘l’ in the middle of words because it’s hard to pronounce. However, his claims were contested by a linguistics expert who said that such claims are baseless.(source)
