1.  Ivan the Terrible actually had a "good reign" before he went mad.

2.  What is the real story behind "The Star-Spangled Banner?"
http://www.awesomestories.com/history/spangled_banner/spangled_banner_ch1.htm

3.  Grandparents often tell stories - like:  "I had to walk five miles to
school each way!"  Photographs from the national archives reveal their lives
were actually much harder than most people today could even imagine.

4.  Bodies also tell tales - even thousands of years after a person has
died.  http://www.awesomestories.com/history/mummies/mummies_ch1.htm

5.  Was "Arthur of Camelot" a real person?  Records seem to suggest so.

6.  Chaucer told the story of "The Knight's Tale."  What did English "sound
like" at that time - and - what was life really like for knights in the
Middle Ages?

7.  Dracula was a real person - every bit as evil as his legend suggests.
http://www.awesomestories.com/movies/shadow_vampire/shadow_vampire_ch1.htm

8.  Alexander the Great believed he had conquered "the known world."  When
he died, at a young age, his men brought his body back to Egypt.  Hundreds
of years later, Caesar Augustus was still able to view the body through "its
glass case."  Where is his body now?
