King of pop is dead, you all know that don’t you. Growing up
in the 80s was like living in the middle of an epidemic and
no one was immune to the thriller fever. I have had my
dancing days but I never was a big fan of the king of pop
. After the thriller fever I got jabbed by the big four of rock
music (The Who, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and The Doors)
and to them my loyalty still prevails. The big four also had
some of the biggest eccentrics ever; Keith Moon and Led Zeppelin
were, however, were only content with driving Rolls Royce in a
swimming pool or throwing TVs from hotel windows, Jackson on
the other hand bought The Beatles. Here are our top 10 things
you never know about MJ.
10. Not just ‘The King of Pop’ But a King for Real
Michael Jackson was crowned the king of the gold-mining
village of Krindjabo, populated by the Agni tribe, located near
Abidjan, Ivory Coast. Amon N' Djaolk, the traditional tribal
chief of Krindjabo, placed a crown of gold upon his head
and pronounced him "king of Sani.
09. Multiple Inductions
He has received multiple inductions in almost every hall of fame.
Twice in Rock and Roll hall of fame, Thrice in Grammy hall
of fame and once in world music hall of fame, MTV Video
Producer’s hall of fame, Song Writer’s hall of fame, Soul Train
Award’s hall of fame and BET Award’s hall of fame.
08. 13 Guinness world records
Jackson also has 13 world records under his belt. These
records include, the best selling album of all time
(Thriller), most successful entertainer of all time,
youngest vocalist to top the US singles chart and
first vocalist to enter the US singles chart at number one.
07. 345 awards and certificates
Although the recognizable awards only amounts to 197 in all,
however, the total number of awards, certificates and
honors amount to a staggering total of 345.
06. Patent for smooth criminal shoes
Do you remember the ‘lean’ in the smooth criminal video?
He could have used wires in the video but there was no
way he could have pulled it off in the live concert. Or
could he? Michael Jackson created special shoes to
perform the ‘lean’ on stage. He also has a patent
for them. The shoes were designed to quickly slide into
pegs that rise out of the floor at just the right moment.
05. Most Awards in a single year
Jackson has the record for:
Most Grammy Awards won in a single year in 1984 ceremony
(eight, Carlos Santana equaled this feat in 2001).
Most American Music Awards won in a single year in 1984
ceremony (eight, equaled by Whitney Houston in 1994).
Most World Music Awards won in a single year in 1996
ceremony (five, tied with Whitney Houston in 1994).
Most Billboard awards won in a single year in 1983 ceremony
(thirteen)
Michael Jackson also has the record for more music
awards than any other artist in the history of music.
04. Fastest Ticket Sales
His, now-cancelled, ‘This is it’ tour in 2009 has the record
for fastest ticket sales in history, with 700,000 tickets sold
in about four hours.
03. Most Humanitarian Entertainer

singer - 39 charitable organizations either with
monetary donations through sponsorships or by participation

Oscar for Gone with the Wind for $1,542,000 on June 12,
1999. The Academy Awards no longer permits such sales,
all but ensuring that it will remain the most expensive Oscar.

We have killed more species of animals than criminals arrested
in the last five decades. We may try to ignore the facts but
the experience of seeing (and / or photographing) an animal and
then realizing that the animal only be alive in a photograph is
not a happy thought. Here is a list of Top 10 Extinct Animals
(alive only in photographs).
Meanwhile, each day we welcome 2,10,000 more humans on
this planet; 15 lakh more every week! This is why mankind calls
itself a virus. For instance, 78 percent of marine mammals are
now endangered due solely to accidental death and one in
every
four mammals are threatened because of habitat
damage. According to recent stats, Asia has the most
endangered species at 79 percent.
Tasmanian Tiger
The Tasmanian Tiger was the largest carnivorous
marsupial of modern history. Despite being termed as
a 'tiger,' it wasn’t even vaguely related to cats, its closest
living relative is the Tasmanian Devil.
The principal cause of its extinction was mass hunting, though
the last one died in the Hobart Zoo, in Tasmania, Australia,
on September 7, 1936 due to neglect!

Quagga
The Quagga was the queer brother of the zebra. The stripes
on a Quagga were limited to its frontal portion and the
rest of the body was similar to a horse with the exception
of white feet. Photographs are the only proof that this animal
ever existed. By 1870s, they were all killed, the last one died
at a zoo in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on August 12, 1883.

Passenger Pigeon
How can a bird, whose biggest flock recorded in 1820s
consisted of a billion birds be extinct in only 100
years? During colonization the slaves and the poor were
encouraged to hunt pigeon for food and pigeon
meat was commercialized as cheap food. Farmers
also had a grievance against their vast numbers. So
as a solution they terminated the species. The last known
Passenger Pigeon, named “Martha”, died in captivity on
September 1, 1914, in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1896

Golden Toad
An Australian biologist Tim Flannery has described the
extinction of the Golden Toad to be the first demise of a
species due primarily to global warming. Recognized
by its bright golden-orange color, the species was last
sighted in 1989.

Caribbean Monk Seal
In 1491 Columbus, during his voyage, wrote about tiny
‘sea wolfs’; his team hunted and ate eight of them. The
trend ended in 1952, when all the monk seals were
extinct. The species was officially declared extinct just
last year, on June 6, 2008.

Pyrenean Ibex
The last known Pyrenean Ibex died on January 6, 2000.
However the species was brought back to life. This year
in January, Pyrenean Ibex became the first ever
species to be brought back into existence through
cloning. Though the newborn died just seven minutes
after due to lung failure, the events have raised optimism.

Bubal Hartebeest
The Bubal Hartbeest was first domesticated by the
Egyptians and even has a mention in the Old
Testament. The mythological aura however wasn’t
resilient enough to save it from European hunters.
The last was probably a female which died in the Paris Zoo
in 1923.

Tecopa Pupfish
The Tecopa Pupfish was the first species to be declared
extinct under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The
fish were first discovered in the Tecopa Hot Springs in California
in 1942. The springs were replaced with bathhouses, hotels
and trailer parks for tourists.

Pink Headed Duck
Pink headed ducks were natives of north-east India. They are
now extinct. However no official statement on this matter has
been provided. There have been only two sightings of this
shy bird, both in Myanmar; however the sightings have
failed to provide any proof. The photograph was taken in1930.

Susu Dolphin
Susu Dolphin or the Ganga Dolphine are not extinct,
however only 500 of the lot are alive. I give them five more
years.
