Is there any historical evidence to support the existence of Marco Polo? My world history teacher said that he might have been a symbol to represent a real person who took a similar journey in real life.

MARCO POLO did exist but some of his tales might not have been true and fails to mention aspects of China such as THE GREAT WALL which led people to believe he did not go but listened to stories http://www.silk-road.com/artl/marcopolo.shtml Sep 22 03, 3:27 PM

I should know this but have forgotten, who said "Life's a bitch and then you die" or something similar? The name of this animal is derived from a person in religious history, although the English prefer to call it something completely different. Its spots have been known to represent two rather interesting concepts depending which part of the world you live. What are the two names of this animal, and the two meanings the spots represent? Has there been any evidence suggesting that there might still be some ivory-billed woodpeckers out there? If so, where? Is there any evidence that there is life after death?
