Taking up a musical instrument? Try the kissar. This African instrument is made of a human skull and the horns of a gazelle. The first equestrian to ride side saddle was Anne of Bohemia, daughter of the German emperor Charles IV. She was born with one leg shorter than the other and was unable to ride a horse in the normal fashion. A special saddle was designed for her so that she could ride with both legs on the same side. Her vanity kept her from revealing the secret of her deformed legs so that the saddle was termed a fashion innovation rather than a horse-mounted wheelchair. Believe It or Not!
