In 1883 Mr Henry Ziegland, broke off a relationship with his girlfriend who consequently committed suicide.

The girl's brother was so enraged that he hunted down Ziegland and shot him.
The brother, thinking that he had killed Ziegland, then turned his gun on himself. However, Ziegland had not died, but simply had been grazed by the bullet which had then then lodged itself in a tree.

Ziegland considering himself a lucky decided to cut down the large tree, which still had the bullet in it. The task seemed so large and extensive that he decided to blow it up with a few sticks of dynamite. The explosion propelled the bullet into Ziegland's head, killing him.

Coin collecting, stamp collecting, toy and bottle collecting we've all heard of before, but what sort of collections do 12 year old boys accumulate?
