Ball players make spectacular catches to win ball games. However, one of the most important catches was made by Frank Bruckman, a Brooklyn mail carrier. He caught a child in his mail pouch as it fell from a window. The things people eat are sometimes a little startling. King Menelik of Ethiopia was a literal believer in the curative property of the printed page. Whenever he was sick or his heart was heavy, he always ate a page or two of the Bible. Eventually, either the king overestimated his capacity for reading matter, or he miscalculated the length of the book he ate. He died as a result of eating the heavy Egyptian edition of the "Book of Kings". Believe It or Not!
