Immortality on tape! William G. Hail committed suicide in the most unusual manner. He bored eight holes in his head with a power drill. * Speaking of suicide, the most unusual policy regarding suicide was on the ancient island of Cheos. If a person wanted to commit suicide they would consult their legislator who in turn would announce it in the Senate. The senate would then discuss the pros and cons of such an action and either grant permission or refuse it. One of the worst 'miracles' performed was in 1966 by a Hindu yogi named Rao. Rao told everyone he would walk on water. Tickets were sold to miracle event, some selling for as much as $100 a piece. The day came, Rao stood next to a five foot deep pond of water. He prayed in silence. He stepped out onto the surface of the water and sunk almost immediately. He did not refund any money.
