6 Insane Discoveries That Science Cant Explain

It even has veins and hair! A family in America was told by police to cover up their snow sculpture, after neighbors complained that it was offensive. Elisa Gonzalez and her family had spent hours crafting a nude sculpture in the front garden of their home in Rahway, New Jersey. Motorists stopped to take photos of their version of the celebrated Greek statue Venus de Milo, and several neighbors were complimentary. But Rahway police sent an officer to their home after they received an anonymous complaint of "a naked snow woman", and asked the family to cover her up.

Dyatlov Pass incident
The Dyatlov Pass incident (Russian: Гибель тургруппы Дятлова) is the mysterious deaths of nine ski hikers in the northern Ural Mountains on February 2, 1959.

That straight consumer-facing social ranking part of the business, however, is only a part of what PeerIndex (and others like it) does.
