Snoring Man

Julie and Melvyn Switzer's marriage must be one of the strongest in the world -- it has survived even though Julie says Melvyn's super lound snoring has caused her to lose a lot of sleep.  She may be right, because, at over 92 decibels louder than a Harley Davidson starting up, Melvyn has the loudest snore in the world!

 

 

Bamboo Ritual

In a bizarre rite of passage, the men and boys of the Toyokawa clan in Japan pack bamboo pipes with pounds of gunpowder and hold onto them until they explode!  Unbelievably, now one gets hurt!

 

 
Bullet Art

The words "bullet hole" conjure up images of violence and mayhem.  But, former Olympic shooting champ John Satterwhite has a better use for his bullets -- art.  John is such a fast and accurate shooter that he can draw a picture by shooting holes iinto a tin canvas, creating a masterpiece!
