Full Version: A bullet that reached its destiny years later

Just found this interesting and wanted to share:


Henry Ziegland thought he had dodged fate. In 1883, he broke off a relationship with his girlfriend who, out of distress, committed suicide. The girl's brother was so enraged that he hunted down Ziegland and shot him. The brother, believing he had killed Ziegland, then turned his gun on himself and took his own life. But Ziegland had not been killed. The bullet, in fact, had only grazed his face and then lodged in a tree. Ziegland surely thought himself a lucky man. Some years later, however, Ziegland decided to cut down the large tree, which still had the bullet in it. The task seemed so formidable that he decided to blow it up with a few sticks of dynamite. The explosion propelled the bullet into Ziegland's head, killing him. (Source: Ripley's Believe It or Not!)

Well, that hadda suck!

That is a believe it or not for sure! The only thing that would have made it more ironic is if the bullet had hit him somewhere besides his head and given him a few moments to ponder the whole thing.

Wow...even 1883 there were women crazy enough to kill theirselves over a dude!!
Wonder if he felt any guilt by breaking up with her crazy ass......probably not!! Then after the brother came after him with a gun....he probably thought the whole family was nuts!!

Poor guy...
