Speaking of pianos, I read recently about a piano that is thought to be somewhere submerged in a New England pond. It was put there by none other than Babe Ruth. Does this sound familiar? I am not making this up. The article was written by a reliable source known as Dave Barry. No, I don't think Dave made it up either. He is a reliable source. No, I didn't make that up. Would I lie to you about a reliable source?
