The Wrong Last Rites

"A PRIEST, PLEASE!" the dying man says again. Then out of the crowd steps a little old Jewish man of at least eighty years of age."Mr. Policeman," says the man, "I'm not a priest. I'm not even a Catholic. But for fifty years now I've been living behind St. Mary's Catholic Church on Third Avenue, and every Friday night I listen to the Catholic litany. Maybe I can be of some comfort to this man."The policeman agrees and brings the octogenarian over to where the dying man lay. He kneels down, leans over the injured man, and says in a solemn voice:"B - 4. I - 19. N - 38. G - 54. O - 72."

Largest hailstone

In 1970, a record hailstone fell on Coffeyville, Kansas, the heaviest authenticated one to fall in the U.S. in the 20th century. Its weight was recorded as 1-lb 11-oz (0.77kg) with 5.7-in (14.7cm) diam. It broke the old record from 6 Jul 1928 at Potter, Nebraska, for one weighing about 1-lb 8-oz (0.68kg), around 7-in diam. A newer U.S. record for size was set on 22 Jun 2003 in Aurora, Nebraska, when a hailstone was found about 7-in diam. (17.8cm) and 18.75-in (46.6cm) circumference. The world record was broken on 23 Jul 2010, by a hailstone found in Vivian, South Dakota at 1-lb 15-oz, (0.88kg), 8.0-in (20cm) diam., 18.6-in (47.3cm) circumference. A larger hailstone is said to have fallen on 14 Apr 1986 that weighed 2-lb 4-oz (1.02kg) during a hailstorm in Bangladesh that killed 92 people.«
