Man in the Gold Mask

The next time you're teeing up, remember the core of a golf ball contains germs. As they multiply, they develop pressure, which renders the ball more resilient. So germs make better golf balls. Believe it or not.

In a moment, I'll tell you about the man in the golden mask. As the result of an injury, Farleid Eddine, grand visea of Boccala Asia, wore a mask of solid gold. The sight of his face became so repulsive to him that he'd done the mask at the age of 17.

He wore it constantly, never removing it for 84 years. During that time, no one ever saw his face, either his king nor himself. He even directed that he be buried wearing the mask. And his last wish was respected, they leave it or not.
