1. There was an unusual match between Barbados and Grenada.
Grenada went into the match with a superior goal difference, meaning that Barbados were required to win by two goals to progress to the finals. The trouble was caused by an unusual rule which stated that in the event of a game going to sudden death extra time, the goal would count double, meaning that the winner would be awarded a two goal victory.
Barbados were leading 2-0 until the 83rd minute, when Grenada scored, making it 2-1. Approaching the dying moments, the Barbadians realized they had no chance of scoring past Grenada's mass defence, so they turned around and deliberately scored an own goal to tie the game, which would send it into extra time and give them another half hour to break down the defence. The Grenadians realized what was going on, and attempted to score an own goal as well, which would put Barbados back in front by one goal but would eliminate them from the competition.
However, the Barbados players started defending their opposition's goal to prevent them doing this, and during the game's last five minutes, the fans were treated to the incredible sight of Grenada trying to score on either goal. Barbados also defended both ends of the pitch, and held off Grenada for the final five minutes, sending the game into extra time. In extra time, Barbados notched the game-winner, and, according to the rules, was awarded a 4-2 victory, which put them through to the next round.

2. Используя поддельное удостоверение сотрудника правоохранительной структуры, найденное в интернете, бывший сотрудник службы безопасности банка смог убедить власти города Джералд с населением в 1200 человек, что он наделен всеми полномочиями в рамках так называемого «Патриотического акта» для борьбы с наркоторговлей.
При поддержке местного шерифа ему удалось произвести около двух десятков арестов. В процессе «допросов» многие задержанные признались в наркоторговле. За короткий срок в городе были уничтожены все подпольные лаборатории по производству наркотических веществ. Население Джералда воспринимало Билла Энтони Джейкоба как настоящего героя.
Настоящая личность «героя» была установлена совершенно случайно журналисткой, писавшей о его «подвигах».
В дальнейшем Билл Энтони Джейкоб был арестован и ему было предъявлено обвинение по 23 пунктам. Все его «следственные действия», как и аресты, были признаны незаконными.
