10.  He used to fight people for JAMES JOYCE, one of his best friends.  In Paris they'd go drinking together and Joyce tended to be a nasty drunk and started bar fights, but wasn't much of a fighter, so Hemingway often stood in for him.

9.  He was an EXTREME FISHERMAN who would kill sharks with machine guns.

8.  He hunted U-BOATS in the HOOLIGAN NAVY during World War II  (more on this in my World War II blog, Tattooed on Your Soul today.

7.  He went ROGUE while a WAR CORRESPONDENT in 1944.  More on this story in my WWII blog today.
