Take a close look at a map of the world, and you'll discover this curious fact. The mouth of the Amazon River is wider than the Hudson River is long. The Asti Church atop Mount Roxiamiloni in Italy was built by Bonifacio d'Asti in fulfillment of a vow he made while he was a prisoner of the Turks. The church stands at the end of a difficult climb of 9,300 feet and takes some 12 hours to reach. Yet services are still held there once every year and they have been for more than 600 years. Believe It or Not!
