Hitler ordered tanks to be made in Michigan and told the company to not worry about sending them to Germany, he'd pick them up on his way through Detroit.
In September 1994, Skydiving student Sharon McClelland amazingly survived a 10,000-foot plunge in Ontario, by falling into a marsh when her parachute malfunctioned. She struggled to her feet and rushed to her instructor Kevin Killin - to apologize - because she had not followed procedures to open her backup chute.
George Washington carried a portable sundial.
In the movie "Dances with Wolves", not one animal was injured during its filming, although there was a horse named "Dutch" who came down with a nasty case of the runs.
Before the first landing on the moon (Apollo 11), NASA calculated the amount of dust falling on the moon each year. Estimating the age of the moon to be 4.5 billion years, it was figured that between 54 feet and 900 feet of dust would be on the moon. The 1st lunar landing module was equipped with huge landing pads to land on all of this soft dust. However, when the astronauts landed they found virtually no dust at all. Neil Armstrong's 1st words after actually stepping on the moon were "It's SOLID!" This indicated that the moon is likely to be much younger than thought, possibly only a few thousand years old.

There were over 300 prophecies about Christ made hundreds of years before his life on earth, and he fulfilled all of them.
