BUT SOME GUY AGREED TO BE BURRIED ALIVE UNDERGROUND IN A GLASS BOX FOR SEVERAL DAYS, I THINK IT WAS TEN. THE BOX HAD A POLE COMING UP OUT OF SO THE MAN COULD BREATHE AND FOOD AND WATER COULD BE PASSED DOWN. APPARANTELY YOU WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO VIEW THE MAN THROUGH THE PIPE. THE MAN SURVIVED BUT DIED SOON AFTER RUMOR HAS IT. (THIS TOOK PLACE ON THE MARKET SQUARE IN PARIS} MY DAD POINTED OUT THE SPOT TO ME, WHEN I WAS A SMALL CHILD. ANYONE ELSE EVER HEARD THIS STORY?
