Found this on Google+, posted by Scott Fletcher.

Fernández Anaya was trailing behind Olympic bronze medallist Abel Mutai during a cross-country race in Burlada, Navarra. Mutai was leading comfortably until he pulled up 10 to 20 meters short of the finish line thinking the race was already over. Instead of passing Mutai, Fernández Anaya slowed down and told Mutai to keep running. Since they didn't speak a common language, the Basque runner gestured frantically at Mutai who went on to win the race.

Postcrossing

2008-06-08T15:45:00.007+00:00

i just found a lovely thing on MetaFilter called Postcrossing. You sign up, get an random address and mail a postcard to the address, you then get a postcard from some random person in the World, what a simple, cool idea. i love selfless acts designed to bring smiles (:

i just sent this nice postcard to someone in Finland.

i think is is called Postcrossing because it is based on BookCrossing, another lovely idea. You leave books you have read in public places for people to find and read. i did this anyway and was pleasantly surprised to find it had a worldwide following.

the friendliness of crowds
