I heard this really neat elementary proof of the "Gauss-Bonnet Theorem" :
Let $S$ be a surface embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Now take a triangulation of that surface, and approximate the surface with a ...

Bordism for oriented triangulable manifolds without smooth differentiable structures
We know the bordism group for oriented smooth differentiable structures such as $\Omega_d^{SO}$ that requires the special orthogonal group structure on the tangent bundle $TM$ of manifold $M$.
