The Olympic Theater in Decenza, Italy, built by Andrea Palladio in 1580, is the first theater in history provided with a roof. All previous theaters were of the open-air variety. It's still in use. One day, while Mohammed II, Sultan of Turkey, was dining, he was called away before the dessert course. When he returned, a large, juicy watermelon was gone. Fourteen of the imperial pages were questioned but denied the theft. The Sultan summoned his surgeon and ordered him to open the stomachs of all the pages. There was no trace of watermelon in any of them. The Emperor made his half-hearted apologies with a nonchalance that is not to be believed. Believe It or Not!
