Billy the Kid

Billy the Kid defines the spirit of the American Wild West more than any other figure. While movies portray him as a ruthless gunslinger who killed a man for every year of his life, the real Henry McCarty was a charming, bilingual ranch hand who got caught in a corrupt war. For instance, he never actually robbed a bank or a train in his entire career. Furthermore, a court historian later proved that the famous image of him holding a rifle was actually a mirror reflection. Prepare to ride with the Regulators.

Osaka

Osaka stands as the rebellious, loud, and food-obsessed counterpoint to the polite perfection of Tokyo. While most tourists flock to the neon lights of Dotonbori for a photo, they often miss the bizarre history hidden in plain sight. For instance, the local castle looks ancient on the outside but hides a modern concrete museum on the inside. Furthermore, the city features a skyscraper that literally swallowed a highway exit ramp. Prepare to eat until you drop in the comedy capital of Japan.

Ivan Lendl

Ivan Lendl dominated the world of tennis in the 1980s with a style that changed the sport forever. While many fans remember his stony face and powerful forehand, few know about the passions that drove him off the court. For instance, he owns one of the largest art collections in the world dedicated to a single artist. Furthermore, he raised attack dogs that once terrified an entire neighborhood. Prepare to serve an ace with the man they called “Ivan the Terrible.”
