On display today are two objects that we might take for granted in the modern world. But how they got there...well, that's the curious part.

Everyone wants to be a winner. Some work their entire lives to reach the top. But every now and then someone manages to sneak into the winners' circle through an unusual method. And today's tour will demonstrate exactly that.

It's amazing how many types of stories can delight us. Some have horrible endings, and some fill us with delight. But either way, they pull us in and build us up. Here are some to do just that.
