Arrow 10 Things you didn't know about Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson's Oxygen Bed


For beauty proposes and to live longer, Michael Jackson used to sleep in an oxygen tent. He later donated the bed to a Californian medical centre as a therapeutic aid for burns victims.

NOTE: In an interview with Oprah, Michael Jackson denied sleeping in this bed; according to him, he donated a million dollars to a foundation who bought the bed. He then saw that strange piece of technology, tried it on, somebody took a picture and that is how the rumor started. Thanks, Björn. (Source)



Michael Jackson Egyptian Sculpture


Flickr user mandalariangirl took a photo of this ancient Egyptian female sculpture picture in the Field Museum in Chicago. She speculates if Michael Jackson got some ideas for his plastic surgeries. (Source)



Jackson's Patented Anti-Gravity Boot


Michael Jackson invented and patented special boots that allowed the wearer to lean so far forward that it seems to defy gravity. He used this for the famous "lean" in the "Smooth Criminal" music video.

US Patent 5255452 (Source)



Bubble the Chimp, Michael's best friend


In 1985, a three-year-old chimpanzee named Bubbles was rescued from a Texas cancer research center by Michael Jackson. From that moment on, Bubbles went everywhere with Jackson, becoming his constant companion and purported best friend. He would even be dressed up in the same outfit as Jackson and toured with him on his Bad tour. Bubbles now resides in an animal sanctuary, he is no longer safe to be let out to play with the public. Jackson continued to visit his beloved pet with his children, and the chimp would resume a very childish and playful behavior when Jackson was around. (Source)



Michael suffered a rare genetic disease


Michael Jackson was suffering from a rare genetic disease called Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. The condition is just one among the 8,000 or so known rare disease worldwide. (Source)



Billie Jean was the first MTV video by a black artist


"Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson was the first video to air on MTV by a black artist (1983).

Michael Jackson's Video Game


Back when Jackson was merely a semi-eccentric star, Sega created a video game property for him, named Michael Jackson's Moonwalker. Moonwalker was notable for being an early example of real-life celebrities appearing in video games, and for using digitized versions of some of Jacko's songs. The game is also unintentionally ironic because Jackson is tasked with rescuing helpless children from a crime boss named Mr. Big (although in hindsight, perhaps it was Mr. Big who was doing the rescuing).

Michael Jackson Thriller Zombie Vinyl Figure


Imported from Japan! Think what you will of the eccentric 'King of Pop,' but there's no denying that his smash-hit album Thriller and the unforgettable title track and video have left and indelible mark on American pop culture. Fully assembled and painted, this 7" tall, fix posed, vinyl caricature figure presents Michael Jackson as he appeared in the video. (Source)



World's Largest Thriller Dance-Off


The “Thrill the World” event took place in 2008 and over 4,000 people around the world put on their best white gloves and zombie make-up to celebrate Michael Jackson's thriller.
When all was said and done, 4,177 people in 72 cities and 10 nations synced up by cell phone and clomped out the Thriller dance for charity.

Michael Jackson's Punch-Out


Mike L. Mayfield of Citizens Against Safety Goggles created this awesome animation of Michael Jackson in Punch-Out, one of the best NES games ever!

In this game he fights Macaulay Culkin to survive. His monkey, shoes and signature moves are revisited in this funny Nintendo Parody including a Thriller face.

Michael Jackson is a legend. It's too bad that his fame is intensified posthumously.

Well, he has been off the grid for the last 4(?) years. Haven't thought about him much since the end of the trial

#11 - Michael Jackson was a washed-up nutcase who hadn't made a decent album in twenty+ years.
