During the Holocaust 2 Polish doctors named Eugene Lazowski and Stanislaw Matulewicz saved 8,000 Jews by creating a fake typhus epidemic. The Germans quarantined the entire area rather than risk outbreak by sending them to concentration camps.
The reason hurricanes and cyclones are given human names is because the original meteorologist to name them, Clement Wragge, was naming them after politicians he hated as a pretense for discreetly shit talking them on air.
Before his death Marvel gave Stan Lee a pension of $1,000,000 per year simply for being Stan Lee.
Julia Stewart got a job as a waitress at IHOP when she was 16. She worked her way up through various jobs until she became President at Applebees. When she was turned down for the position of CEO, she quit and went back to work for IHOP, rising in the ranks until she became CEO there. She would later acquire Applebees.
In 1986 a California farmer named Mike Yurosek was having difficulty selling the carrots he grew because they were deemed "irregular". He cut and shaved them into a smaller, cuter shape and named them "Baby Cut" carrots. At the time Americans consumed 6 pounds of carrots per year on average. Americans now consume and average of 11 pounds of carrots per year.
When Willie Nelson's assets were seized and auctioned by the IRS, his fans bought the majority of his belongings and gave them back to him.
Ancient Greek philosopher and father of cynics Diognese of Sinope once witnessed the son of a prostitute throwing rocks at a crowd. He admonished the child with "Careful, boy. Don't hit your father."
In 2001 a boy in Florida was attacked by a shark who bit his arm off. He was rescued by his uncle, who then promptly proved that he was badass incarnate when he wrestled the 200 pound beast to shore so the arm could be retrieved. After an 11 hour operation the arm was successfully reattached.
