Has the ball ever bounced over the fence for a home run in Major League Baseball?

Ball Bouncing Home Runno because if it bounce over the fence it is called a ground rule double. the runner advances to second base. so no it hasn't and never will. Yes, this was a rule in MLB until 1930. The rule was changed for the 1931 season to read:"A fair hit ball which bounces through or over a fence, or into the stands, is considered a ground rule double instead of a home run."


Why was the oak leaf chosen as rank for Major's and Lieutenant Colonels?

In the Army - one story is that the Gold Bar of a Lieutenant (LT) came from the ground (dirt level). And the Silver Bar is representative of the bottom bar or rung of a fence and is that insignia of a 1st LT. This bottom rung holds the fence together. The next rank Captain - looks like a fence (often thought of as railroad tracks) and that fence encloses a certain area that the fence (or Captain) is responsible for. The Major insignia is an Oak leaf and an Oak Tree grows strong and tall, and overlooks multiple fences (or commands). There was a time when a Major was a Squadron (Battalion) commander with many troops commanded by Captains. The Lieutenant (LTC/LtCol) rank is silver and is the older (old oak tree) and aged version of the gold leaf and may have originally been the leaf of a poplar tree with is considered a tougher/harder tree. (There is never any reference to the poplar in law or known history -- but is just a part of this story). A LTC also used to be the deputy regimental commander. A Colonel (COL/Col) insignia is that of an Eagle which soars high over all of the trees, and when necessary can swoop down to ground level (with devastating claws) and take care of business. A Colonel also used to command a regiment. Of course, the stars in the sky can overlook all things on the earth (or in the Army). There are many postings about ranks from LT to GEN, most of these are commonly known. This story was told to me (LTC) by a General Officer who read it in a book when he was a LT or CPT (but can no longer find the book). Let me know if you have it.

If a ball hits the yellow line at the top of the fence in the outfield is it considered a home run?

I've seen home runs where they've bounced off the noggin of the guy chasing after it. If it's in fair territory, if it goes over the wall it's a homer, unless it bounces off the ground and then goes over. Then it's a ground-rule double.

What is the ending of the book the boy in the striped pajamas?

MAJOR SPOILER!! At the end of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (2008), while looking for Shmuel's father Bruno and Shmuel are huddled with a group of men in a barrack. Rain begins to fall. They are told they are going home soon, and go underground; to which Bruno believes they are getting out of the rain. The prisoners are ordered to strip, (this is very non-explicit) and are shoved in a metal room. Other prisoners (known as sonderkommandos) reassure them, "It's just a shower"A sonderkommando then shuts the door and a Nazi with a gas mask pours some of the poison (Known as "Zyklon B") into it. Bruno's father is barely there in time to save the two, and he knows what happens. You can hear smoke crackling towards the end, signifying that they burned the bodies. Elsa screams her son's name while Gretel stares in awe. The film closes with the changing room, and the prisoner's uniforms waiting for the cycle to happen again.
