I came across the second story through a link on Fark.com. Then I looked in Wikipedia to see if there were some sort of corresponding story. It makes you wonder at any given moment what is REALLY happening in the world around us. And we will probably never know this side of heaven. Unfortunately on the other side of this life, when every tear is dried and we are in total communion with God and at peace with one another, we'll forget to ask all those hard questions probably.
Or I imagine so.
In any event, has anyone *else* ever heard of this man? And his contribution to this world through his ONE action on ONE night... it's just incredible, if true, that we have not heard of him at least annually every September. Somebody post a comment because I'm really curious as to whether I am the only person who has never heard of Petrov before today.
