We share a few theories today about what really happened in the little village of Hamlin, German in 1284.

BERTHA BENZ'S FAMOUS FIRST RIDE: Karl Benz is an enginnering genius who is credited for giving us the first gasoline powered automobile, which he patented in 1885.

A NO-HITTER FOR ALL TIME: It was a cool night in Houston on May 1, 1991, a, good night for baseball, but a rough night for pitcher Nolan Ryan . His back was stiff, and every bone was killing him. Heck, at age 44, very few guys were still playing major league baseball, much less pitching, which takes a terrible toll on arms. He didn't know he was about to cement a record in major league baseball that will probably last forever.
