A family in Australia found a message in a bottle tossed in the ocean over a century ago. It was actually two letters written by soldiers who'd shipped out for World War One. They were dated 1916, so 109 years ago.
They apparently tossed the bottle off their ship after leaving for Europe. One of them survived the war, the other didn't. The couple who found the bottle tracked down family members of both men and got the letters back to them.

A 12-year-old boy in Wales grew his hair out for years so he could donate it to the Little Princess Trust. It's a charity in the U.K. that makes wigs for kids going through chemo.
Classmates teased him for his long blond hair and called him "Goldilocks", but it didn't stop him. He says most of them have apologized now that he's internet famous.
