I like Mathias Steiner's Story. He was kicked from the Austriam weightlifting team for poor performance and went on to win gold at the olympics for Germany in the same year he got his German citizenship.

That's just thermodynamics. Depending on your definition and level of pedanticism you could say that a heat pump cools the environment to heat your home, but there is a net heating if you sum up the change in both systems.
