...live in New England - the bottle opener plays the radio call of the Red Sox 2004 World Series win.

EVERYONE WAS EXPECTING him to sit and watch from the sidelines. But moments after the Green Bay Packers' first-string receiver separated a shoulder, Max McGee was forced to borrow a teammate's helmet before racing onto the field. The former Air Force pilot made history that day, catching the first touchdown pass in Super Bowl history--leading the Packers to a 35-10 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in 1967.

...Marines saluted, awarding a $45 million contract in 2000 for the development of a swiveling triple-barreled .50-cal. machine gun under the V-22's nose, automatically aimed through a sight in the co-pilot's helmet. "All production aircraft will be outfitted with this defensive weapons system," the Marine colonel in charge of the program pledged in 2000. The weapon "provides the V-22 with a strong defensive firepower capability to greatly increase the aircraft's survivability in hostile actions," the Bell-Boeing team said. But the added weight (1,000 lbs., or 450 kg) and cost...
