Man wins $58,500 because of the Giants’ safety in the Super Bowl
Like this post?
Assuming Benjamin Lyons on Twitter is telling the truth, his friend Jona bet $1,000 that the first scoring play in the Super Bowl would be a safety. The odds given to this bet where they were playing in Vegas were 50/1. So his prize was $50,000.
In addition to this bet, Mr. Lyons reports that his friend made another $8,500 with the much safer (though still quite risky) bet that there would be a safety at some point in the game.

British golf course temporarily changes the rules during Nazi air raids of 1940
Like this post?
The Richmond Golf Club had already been around for nearly 50 years when the Germans started bombing the area in 1940. Instead of canceling play or closing temporarily, they simply adopted some additional rules in order to accommodate the air raid.
It seems almost too carefree to respond this way, but sometimes nonchalance can be its own form of heroism. In fact, the Richmond Golf Club’s reaction to the German attacks was brave and rebellious enough that Hitler’s propagandists felt that it needed to be mocked in a radio report…
By means of these ridiculous reforms the English snobs try to impress the people with a kind of pretended heroism. They can do so without danger, because, as everyone knows, the German Air Force devotes itself only to the destruction of military targets and objectives of importance to the war effort.
This was nonsense, of course, unless, as club historian Tom Brennand observes, “the Club’s laundry outbuilding was a military target.”

Heart-stoppingly death-defying parkour and urban climbing

A hundred feet in the air, this kid jumps to get those last couple inches he needs to reach the roof of the building he’s climbing… He does flips on the edges of apartment buildings… He hangs from a crane.
It’s terrifying. The music didn’t help, either…
