Peace Treaty from the Heavens
1 pp · non-fiction

In this historical curiosity from the "Strange As It Seems" feature, an eclipse of the sun in 585 B.C. abruptly halted a devastating war between the Medes and the Lydians—a moment when the heavens themselves seemed to intervene in human conflict. It's a fascinating glimpse into how ancient peoples interpreted celestial events and how a sudden darkening of the sky shifted the course of history.

Armando Borundo

Watching a fight in Juarez, Mexico, a small boy named Armando Borundo becomes so frustrated by a fighter's poor skills that he grabs a cloak and leaps into the arena himself—and his footwork is so impressive that the promoter signs him on the spot. Now just nine years old, this young matador fights regularly with smaller bulls, inspired by his hero, the legendary Spanish bullfighter Belmonte. It's a remarkable true story of a kid who literally jumped into the spotlight and made good on his instinct.

How Are They Bitin'?
1 pp · humor

A fisherman's outing gets plenty of ribbing in this humorous sketch by J. Norman Lynd, which captures all the mishaps and social friction that come with a day out on the water—from the early-morning grind to the awkward moment when the catch finally comes home. With sharp one-liners poking fun at everything from seasickness to disappointing lunch choices, "How Are They Bitin'?" is a breezy look at the unwritten rules and unspoken complaints that define the fishing experience.
