Teff von Durkey ate beans for three days straight and never had an ounce of gas . . . believe it nor not!
Riple Alleyo was the first male sopranist to hit very high "C" when he was chasing his run‑a‑way horse over a spiked fence and almost caught it . believe it or not!

The Dutchess Gronkston of Prazma (1515-1550) was ordered beheaded when she gestured to the king's coach with the wrong finger . . . believe it or not!

Ten people became sick from drinking wine in Bozzoim, Italy, when it was discovered that the grape stompers had severe cases of athlete's foot . . . believe it or not!
