One of the most incredible hoaxes of the 18th century was the story associated with the charismatic, mysterious personage - George Salmanazar. This gentleman was first seen in the capital of Great Britain in the early 18th century. What he was doing and where he came from to witness those events was unknown. Today, by the way, the situation with this odious personality is not at all clear.

In 1963, a gang of criminals attacked a mail train traveling from Glasgow to London and stole 120 bags of money worth 2.6 million pounds.

An ordinary mail train, which for 125 years had followed the usual daily route from Glasgow to London, was stopped deep in the night, August 8, 1963 at 03:15, by a sudden traffic light signal. It later transpired that the green light was covered by a dense black bag and the red light came from a hand lamp operated by a gang member. The first to jump out of the head car was assistant driver David Whitby, who decided to check out what was wrong. The telephone line was not working - the wires had been cut beforehand by the intruders. Several gang members attacked Whitby and tied him up.

He completed his "violin universities" at the age of 12 and studied nowhere else, but became one of the finest performers on the instrument in the 20th century.

He has written many small dance pieces, without claiming any particular depth, which have enjoyed enormous popularity. His arrangements of works by old masters, considered exemplary, turned out to be his own works, which shocked music lovers and connoisseurs alike.

Carlos Henrique Raposo wanted to be a soccer player, but he didn't want to play soccer. For twenty years he was a player for top Brazilian (and not only) clubs, but he never played a single official match in his entire career. He shared locker rooms with such legendary players as Edmundo, Renato Gausho, Romário, Branco, Bebeto and Carlos Alberto Torres.
