Description: The world would not be the same without those outrageous and eccentric people who seem to break every rule and defy convention at every turn. From the extraordinary obsessions of multi-millionaire Howard Hughes and the weird life of the surrealist painter Salvador Dali, to the Japanese soldiers who refused to surrender for decades after the end of World War 2 and the insane antics of Rasputin, these are tales of men and women who have shocked, startled and bemused us with their outlandish behavior and lifestyles.
