Leonard Rosey, a Parisian playboy, proved he was a man without nerves. He proved it by shooting a bullseye with his pistol while inside a cage of ferocious lions. David Owen, a celebrated 18th century harpist, was on his deathbed and had sunk into a deep coma. His family thought he was dead. But Owen awoke and asked for his harp. He said he'd heard a heavenly tune and wanted to play it before he died. His mother copied the music as he played, and as the last note died away, so did Owen. Thus, this gifted harpist became the only musician in history who composed his own dirge on his deathbed. Believe It or Not!
