Broadcast rights to the first televised FIFA World Cup in 1954 were given away free. Bite 2010, those tournament rights sold for $2.4 billion! Believe it or not! Ferdinand Magellan wasn't the first person to circumnavigate the globe! He died along with more than 200 of his men in the attempt, while his second in command, Juan Sebastian Elcano, completed the journey. Bishinu Shrestha, a soldier from Pokhara, Nepal, was riding on a train on Sept. 2, 2010, when it was robbed by a gang of more than 3 dozen men. Armed with only his kukri knife and terribly outnumbered, he fought for his life and drove them off!
