Fact of the Day: A man once mailed himself across the world.
In 1965, homesick and broke 19-year-old Brian Robson wanted out of Australia—but couldn’t afford the flight back to Wales. So, with the help of two friends, he packed himself into a wooden crate and shipped himself as cargo on a 63-hour journey across continents.
