Read this one at your own risk. It's pretty gruesome. The pictures are a bit upsetting too.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Demikhov
Vladimir Petrovich Demikhov (Kulini Farm, July 18, 1916 – Moscow, November 22, 1998) was a Soviet scientist and organ transplant pioneer, who did several transplantations in the 1930s and 1950s, such as the transplantation of a heart into an animal and a lung-heart replacement in an animal. He is also well-known for his transplantation of the heads of dogs. He conducted his dog head transplants during the 1950s, resulting in two-headed dogs, and this ultimately led to the head transplants in monkeys by Dr. Robert White, who was inspired by Demikhov's.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding_head_syndrome

18 - Quantum suicide and immortality
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_immortality
Quantum immortality refers to the subjective experience of surviving quantum suicide regardless of the odds. In their speculative work on the topic of future science and artificial intelligence, authors Goertzel and Bugaj, describe a very different metaphysical notion as "quantum immortality", one they claim is applicable in all circumstances, for every "intelligent entity", and that serves as a means of "transfer" to other universes.

19 - Delphine LaLaurie
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delphine_LaLaurie
Marie Delphine LaLaurie (1775 –1842), more commonly known as Madame LaLaurie, was a Louisiana-born socialite, known for her involvement in the torture of black slaves.
Born in New Orleans, LaLaurie married three times over the course of her life. She maintained a prominent position in the social circles of New Orleans until April 10, 1834, when rescuers responding to a fire at her Royal Street mansion discovered bound slaves within the house who showed evidence of torture over a long period. LaLaurie's house was subsequently sacked by an outraged mob of New Orleans citizens, and it is thought that she fled to Paris, where she died.

20 - Kelly–Hopkinsville encounter
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly-Hopkinsville_encounter
The Kelly–Hopkinsville encounter, also known as the Hopkinsville Goblins Case, and to a lesser extent the Kelly Green Men Case, is the name given to a series of presumably connected incidents of alleged close encounters with supposed extraterrestrial beings. The events at Hopkinsville in Kentucky, 1955, are regarded as one of the most significant, well-known and well-documented cases in the history of UFO incidents, and a favorite for study in ufology, as witnesses there included local policemen and state troopers, and were taken seriously enough as to be officially investigated by the United States Air Force.
