A morbidly fascinating mixture of bungled executions, strange last requests, and classic final one-liners from medieval times to the present day. Sometimes it's hard to be an executioner, trying to keep someone from popping up to make a quip when they should have spectacularly sunk without a trace. Or to be told that the condemned to the guillotine won't have a last drink for fear of "completely losing his head." The business of death can be absurd, and nothing illustrates this better than these tales of the gruesome and frankly ridiculous ways in which a number of ill-fated unfortunates met (or failed to meet) their maker. Did you know: When Sir Thomas More was ordered to position his head on the block, he said "though you have warrant to cut off my head, you have none to cut off my beard?" When the guillotine took three strokes to sever the neck of Isabeau Herman, the mob attempted to stone the executioner to death for cruelty? After the English hanged the pirate Captain Kidd they chained his body to a stake on the Thames River as a warning to seafarers? From the strange to the gruesome, from the weird to the completely unbelievable, The Executioner Always Chops Twice is popular history at its best: witty, lively, and wonderfully bizarre.

Did you know that in 1932 the Australian army was called out to wage war on an invading army of 20,000...emus? Or that the first royal personage to arrive in Australia was the King of Iceland and he came as a convict? And how about the spooky phenomenon of the mischief-making Guyra Ghost? From Jim Haynes, one of our most successful and prolific tellers of yarns and bush tales, comes this ultimate collection of unbelievable true Australian stories: the unknown, the forgotten, the surprising, the truly weird and the completely inexplicable. Told with a refreshing understatement, Australia's Most Unbelievable True Stories vividly evokes a vanishing Australia when anything was possible, when characters were larger than life and the bizarre and strange were normal.

What do Scientists Say About Time Travel? It's fair to say that most scientists today will tell you that time travel is impossible. Three of today's top physicists - Charles Liu, Brian Green and Michio Kaku - all hold that time travel is, if not impossible, unlikely in the extreme. However, one of the most brilliant minds of our time, physicist Stephen Hawking, disagrees - although only partially. He believes that time travel is theoretically possible, but only into the future. …. But What Do Real People Experience? The opinion of science, however, has never stopped thousands of people around the world from reporting what they firmly believe are actual experiences of spontaneous time travel! Still others insist that time travel is not only possible, but they have already done it as part of top secret government programmes. Claims for time travel range from the highly flaky to the astoundingly believable. They are especially difficult to dismiss when time travel reports come from absolutely ordinary, rock-solid people who have nothing to gain by proclaiming they travelled in time. Many people who report time travel experiences don't necessarily believe it themselves. What happened to them was so strange, so unexpected, yet so real; they simply have no other good explanation for their experience. You will meet a number of such individuals in this book, most of their stories straight out of the headline of local newspapers. No doubt, a story or two will strike the reader as pure balderdash. On the other hand, some of these cases of time travel are tantalizing and unexplainable. They also come with a certain amount of solid evidence, such as stopped clocks, frozen machines and electromagnetic devices acting in inexplicable ways. Physicist and NASA scientist Tom Campbell said that scientific advances always 'come from the fringe.' Thus, even if you consider some of these stories stepping dangerously 'out there' onto that fringy edge, remember that many of yesterday's fringe theories are today's scientific fact. At the very least, it doesn't hurt to approach the idea of time travel with an open mind and a sense of wonder.

For more than six decades, God has used Victor Sobrepena Sr. extensively in the Philippines and other parts of the world to champion the name of Jesus Christ with signs of wonders and miracles. He has impacted multitudes in the Philippines and other parts of the world where the Lord directed him to go. Victor Senior grew up in the small town of Santa Rosa, San Juan, La Union, in the Philippines, where farming was a necessity for survival. The Holy Spirit guided him in spite of his humble upbringing. Since the beginning of awareness as a two-year old, he has had the passion for the Lord Jesus Christ right up to the time that God called him audibly to be an evangelist as his lifetime assignment. Healings and miracles had been prominent in Victor Senior's life from an early age. When he was a toddler, the Lord revived him from a deadly accident. At age sixteen, during WWII, he was captured and tortured by the Japanese army, and the Lord miraculously intervened for his escape and many of such events that you will read in the book. As an evangelist, Victor Senior went boldly to places that few would dare to go. He visited the remotest and dangerous sites in the Philippines to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Lord faithfully protected him from physical harm, sickness, and disease. Wherever he went, the Holy Spirit manifested His presence through countless healings and miracles in crusades and evangelistic meetings. His passion for preaching the Gospel still runs strong even at his young age of ninety-one. Retirement is not in his vocabulary. This is a book that has finally been written to chronicle God's miraculous intervention in Victor Senior's life and people. It is so extraordinary that the reader might become skeptical. However, this is Victor Senior's testimony of God's truth in every aspect. This book should be read in its entirety to get the full perspective of God's desire to save those who are lost, to heal those who are sick, and to provide their needs.
