Miles Daisher of Twin Falls, Idaho, invented skyaking- skydiving while sitting in a kayak landing on water. Blind since 1999, Ian Tibbetts' eyesight was restored using one of his own teeth- a procedure called Osteo-Odonto-Keratoprosthesis. Just about every inch of Clarke Bedford's Hyattsville, Maryland, home is adorned with pieces of salvaged metal- from fans to fenders!

I’m amazed that Clarke’s HOA hasn’t complained. Of course, he might not have one, I suppose.
