83. Yoko Ono deserves a Nobel peace prize
I lived in Darwin (Northern Territory, Australia) in the 80s. Darwin's pretty warm all year (think Florida) and everyone has their windows open all the time.

One of my neighbours decided to put on his stereo loud one day. Very loud. One of my other neighbours objected to this and put on HIS stereo. Even louder. This quickly lead to a war of escalation. Not very pleasant at all.

Luckily my stereo could kick both their stereos' asses. So, I cranked my baby up and put on my 45 copy of "Don't worry Kyoko (Mummy's only looking for a hand in the snow)" - the B-side of Cold Turkey in Australia.

I swear to you, people, within two minutes, peace was restored.

Yoko is a saint as far as I'm concerned.
