When Venice, California, father and son duo Bob and Tristan Vanech ended up competing against each other at the National Scrabble Championship in Texas, the dad won by playing DEFEATED as his last word. DEFEATED playwright and vegetarian George Bernard Shaw requested a funeral procession that included an ox, chickens, sheep and fish- so they could thank him for not eating them! Elliott Fuller and Jason Franklin found a prosthetic leg in a beaver dam while canoeing in a Wisconsin lake and were able to find the owner, Mark Warner through a Craigslist ad!
