Although Dawn Larson was born with a disorder that causes most people to stare at her, she never felt discriminated against. Born with Holt-Oram Syndrome, Larson has diminutive hands about six inches from her shoulder but she has led a very productive life. That is until she ordered food from McDonalds for her and her boys. In an interview with the Chicago Sun Times, she stated, "I drank my baby bottle with my feet. Nobody ever taught me how to do it, I just did it," Larson said. "I can ride a regular 10-speed bike. I can swim. It has not been a problem in my life at all. It didn't stop me from having four boys. I've never dropped one of them. "

It was a luck day for a 26-year-old student from Madison, Wisconsin when a delivery truck ran over his head, and he was able to walk away unharmed. Ryan Lipscomb says he was "confused" especially after he saw the condition of his crushed helmet. The incident took place on Friday afternoon when Lipscomb, a graduate student in medical physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, was riding his bicycle. As he approached an intersection where he said he had a green light, he noticed the truck ready to make a right turn in front of him.
