* When the conservative forces attack Macondo, Arcadio allows Colonel Gregorio Stevenson to help defend the town, giving him a rifle with twenty cartridges. Stevenson defends the barracks by himself so efficiently, that the attackers believe it to be too well-defended and resort to blowing the place up with cannon fire. And he did it all in women's clothes!

* After Aureliano Segundo grows rich, successful, and fat, he challenges competitors from all around the globe to try to best him in an eating contest. No one can pull it off...until Camila "The Elephant" Sagastume shows up. A BigBeautifulWoman to the extreme (to the point where Aureliano outright declares that she's "the ideal woman"--''and the narration agrees''), Camila manages to win not by overpowering him, but by being [[IncorruptiblePurePureness so calm, purehearted, and kind]] that she can eat nonstop without becoming the least bit fatigued. The contest lasts for three days straight (with a few minor sleep breaks), and Camila never once loses her cool, which ultimately proves to Aureliano's undoing.
