Thomas Meishberger, an Austrian mountain climber, ascended such peaks as Mont Blanc, Mont Rosa, the Matterhorn, the Jungfrau, and the Meije. Yet he was handicapped by a wooden leg. William Blake, the mystic point artist and musician, quit his job the first day he was apprenticed to William Rylands, England's foremost engraver. The reason he left Rylands' employ was that whenever the 14-year-old boy looked at his employer, he had the extrasensory vision of Rylands hanging dead on a gallows. The vision became a reality 12 years later when Rylands was hanged for forgery on August 29, 1783. Believe It or Not!
