File under 'Not nice to fool with Mother Nature': In a drastic attempt to protect their beachfront homes, residents in Salisbury, Massachusetts, invested $500,000 in a sand dune to defend against encroaching tides.

Dallas Seavey has won the Iditarod sled dog race 5 times. Unfortunately this time around his dogs got into it with a moose and Seavey shot and killed the moose. Fair enough, rules-wise.
