A tough old cowboy from Wyoming counseled his grandson that, if he wanted to live a long life, the secret was to sprinkle a pinch of gun powder on his oatmeal every morning.

Following his grandfather's advice, the grandson did this religiously to the age of 103.

When he died, he left 14 children, 30 grandchildren, 45 great-grandchildren, 25 great-great grandchildren, and a 15-foot hole where the crematorium used to be.
