Skydiving escape artist Anthony Martin escaped from shackles inside a locked casket falling from a plane to the earth at 140 MPH in August 2013. President Gerald Ford worked as a model and once appeared on the cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine. In ancient China, people believed that snorting the powdered scabs of smallpox victims acted as a crude vaccine against the disease- and it probably did actually help!
