"The man with the golden hand" saved 2.4 million babies with his blood

In 1951, 14-year-old James Harrison from Australia woke up after major chest surgery. Doctors removed one of his lungs and hospitalized him for 3 months. During this difficult time, Harrison learned that he survived mainly because of the large amount of transfused blood he received. At that time, he promised to become a blood donor himself. Former Australian law required donors to be over 18, so James had to wait 4 years. And he waited and fulfilled his promise. The Australian Red Cross estimates that James has saved millions of lives through his regular blood donation for as many as 60 years.

Living on the edge: a house that resembles a spaceship could be your new home

If this is what life looks like on the edge, then we immediately sign up to such a fate. An Australian estate in Port Douglas that you'd be forgiven for mistaking for a spaceship juts out of a hill that rises above the idyllic Australian coast, creating a real sense of living on the edge.

And yes, it is real estate.
