One of the enduring mysteries of the American Civil War was a little-known phenomenon referred to at the time as Angel’s Glow.
The soldiers who lay in the mud for two rainy days during the Battle of Shiloh had wounds that began to glow in the dark.
Doctors at the time noted that soldiers with this strange emission of light seemed to fare much better than soldiers whose wounds did not. It would take nearly 140 years to figure out why.
In 2001, 17-year-old high school student Bill Martin and his friend, Jonathan Curtis, won an international science fair by discovering that the soldiers had been so cold that their bodies created the perfect conditions for growing a bioluminescent bacteria, Photorhabdus luminescens, which ultimately destroyed the bad bacteria that could have killed them.
In 1981, Dr. Michael Shannon worked tirelessly through the night to successfully rescue a premature baby boy.
30 years later, in 2011, Dr. Shannon was trapped in his burning SUV following a collision with a semi-truck.
Miraculously, he was rescued from the blazing vehicle by Chris Trokey, a paramedic with the Orange County Fire Authority.
Remarkably, it was revealed that Chris Trokey was the same premature baby Dr. Shannon had delivered three decades earlier.

Haha holy shit we got the Olive Oil Wagyu.
These cows are raised near an Olive Oil farm and fed the Olive waste. Results in high oleic acid content in the beef making it have a stronger "umami" flavor. Its considered to be the rarest wagyu due to limited farms.
