In 1946, Belgian surrealist painter René Magritte painted perhaps his best known work, a self portrait called "Son of Man".
In 2001, Randy Johnson, "The Big Unit," star pitcher for the Arizona Diamonbacks, pitched a fastball during a spring training game against the San Francisco Giants that against all odds, hit a bird that happened to fly into the ball's path. The pitch was ruled dead, as well as the bird.
