Back in 1935 a man carrying a sandwich-board sign stumbles across the find of a lifetime: A wallet containing the stocks certificates from Philips Petroleum, GE, and DuPont. Find out what the press said that he did with the certificates, what really happened, and how he killed a man simply by staring at him. Also, learn about a very long chess match, a baseball-playing porpoise, and the mule that causes three car accidents. Retrosponsor: Wheatena
