1001 Stories For The Road

THE PIED PIPER: THE REAL STORY...The old fairy tale "The Pied Piper" of Hamlin is a tale as old as time, telling of the tragic loss of 130 children who followed a colorfully-dressed piperman out of town and into the nearby hills, never to be seen again. As it turns out, the story was true, but the "hows" and the "whys" are still being explored today. We share a few theories today about what really happened in the little village of Hamlin, German in 1284. Music: Medievil Music Royalty Free by Darren Curtis

BERTHA BENZ'S FAMOUS FIRST RIDE: Karl Benz is an enginnering genius who is credited for giving us the first gasoline powered automobile, which he patented in 1885.

A NO-HITTER FOR ALL TIME: It was a cool night in Houston on May 1, 1991, a, good night for baseball, but a rough night for pitcher Nolan Ryan . His back was stiff, and every bone was killing him.

He didn't know he was about to cement a record in major league baseball that will probably last forever.
