Three employees at a veterinarian's office in Egg Harbor Township, NJ say they saw a man fall from the sky on Tuesday, sans parachute. An exhaustive search has turned up nothing. This is pretty disconcerting!

A British judge sentenced washed-up singer George Michael to eight weeks in jail after he admitted to crashing his car while stoned in July. He should move to America. Here, celebrities get 37 seconds in jail for the same crime.

Oh, look! Just another video of a guy skateboarding through a parking lot, right? Boring! But wait... watch what happens right after the aforementioned skateboarder jumps the curb. Hint: it has nothing to do with skateboarding and is decidedly lunar.

Bullitt is a classic thriller; Steve McQueen plays the quintessential plays-by-his-own-rules cop and it features his beautiful Mustang in an incredible, unrivaled chase scene. But, just because it's a classic doesn't mean it's perfect.

Everyone knows that natural selection has made men genetically disinclined to ask for directions when they're lost. (Prehistoric men who stopped to ask for directions were often eaten by sabre-toothed tigers.) Turns out their stubbornness costs them $3,000.

Attack of the Show last night profiled two new "green" concept cars; the GM En-V, which looks like a bubbly deathtrap with unimpressive specs (only 24 miles on a charge?), and a group of students' Bridgestone F1-style 300 MPG roadster.

Well, this isn't something you see every day. Watch as a man runs in front of a hay baler, strips down completely, enters the back of it and emerges a literal bale of hay. Where do these people come from?
