The adrenaline junkie in this video is wearing some kind of rocket suit covered in custom mounted rollerblading wheels all over his body. What exactly does one do with said outfit? How about speed down a giant curvy hill head first while avoiding traffic. For some reason the phrase "death wish" comes to mind. Want to save this YouTube video on to your computer?

With Thanksgiving only days away, it looks like some wild turkeys in suburban New Jersey decided to launch a preemptive strike. "Mommy!!!!!! The turkey stole my bike!" The turkeys in this video were caught on camera terrorizing a New Jersey neighborhood. At one point in the video, the mother grabs her kids from the attacking turkeys and runs into oncoming traffic. Maybe next time she should try throwing apples at the turkeys. Who knew turkeys could be so dangerous.

The video below is from the 1991 National Beard and Moustache Championship. You probably wouldn't expect a crowd to go completely wild at facial hair competition, but you'll get way more than you expected if you stick around for the 2nd guy [video]. So is the video real? From the beginning, we had our suspicions. The clip's grainy video noise is almost too perfect. So we contacted an expert. "I suspect it's not real," said Phil Olsen, founder of the website Beard Team USA. "The first time I saw the video was today... I don't recognize any of the people in the video. Nor had I ever heard of the National Beard and Moustache Championship held in Tacoma in 1991 until now. If there was such an event in Tacoma in 1991, I am surprised I had not heard of it before." Alas, the beard cage is most likely a fake. But just in case you get some hairy inspiration, here's a menu of moustache styles: methodshop

Captain Kirk is climbing a mountain. Why is he climbing a mountain? To hug it? Envelop it? Challange it? Is he in love with the mountain? Does he want to make love to the mountain? Yes, he probably does. The video below is a remix of some raw promotional video that Willam Shatner did for 1989's Star Trek 5: The Final Frontier. In the video, Shatner starts rambling and attempting to apply a deeper meaning to his character climbing a mountain in the film. Captain Kirk is climbing a mountain. Why is he climbing a mountain? Actually, that's a really good question. VIDEO: Captain Kirk is Climbing a Mountain methodshop

911 operators definitely get their fair share of calls from people observing drunk drivers on the road. However, it's not very often that a drunk driver calls 911 on them self. In the 911 call [video], a Wisconsin woman named Mary Strey, called 911 and wanted to report a drunken driver. When the 911 dispatcher asked if she was behind the suspect vehicle, she replied "I am them." She then followed the dispatcher's advice to pull over and turn on her flashers, telling him she had been "drinking all night long." methodshop

Forget Balloon Boy. Meet Train Baby! Police in Melbourne, Australia say a 6-month-old baby has miraculously survived a train hitting his stroller that had rolled onto the tracks [video]. CCTV security video footage released last Friday shows the mother looking away for a moment when the stroller suddenly rolls off the edge of a station platform just as a train is approaching. The train pushed the stroller about 130 feet along the tracks before it stopped. The six-month-old baby suffered only a bump to his head. Hopefully mom will keep a closer eye on the stroller for now on. methodshop

How do you convince an increasingly overweight population to get a little more exercise by taking the stairs instead of the escalator? What if you make it fun? The Fun Theory team chose a German metro staircase for their piano experiment. They connected pressure sensors to thin black and white colored decals and installed them on each step. The team then rigged each decal to play the corresponding piano sound each time someone stepped on one of the sensors [video]. From helping the environment to helping yourself, Volkswagen's clever "Fun Theory" viral ad campaign attempts to change people’s behavior for the better. We're not sure it will help them sell cars, but at least they are helping people while associating their brand with fun and innovation. methodshop

What do you do with a giant record breaking pumpkin that weighs over 1,000 lbs!? Hollow it out and race it! Pumpkin Boat Racing first started gaining popularity a few years ago (the video above is from 2007). But the Germans have really taken a liking to the fringe sport. According to spiegel.de, they plan on hosting a Pumpkin Boat Raging European Championship in 2010. Germany staged its first ever pumpkin motor boat racing championship on Sunday. It was such a success that the country plans to host the European championship next year. A woman newcomer to the world of pumpkin racing won the 200-meter race. Giant pumpkins don't make the best racing boats but they do have one advantage over wood and carbon-fiber-- they can be turned into gallons of soup. Four contestants took part in Germany's first motor boat pumpkin race on Sunday in their outsized fruit vessels fitted with 3.5 horsepower outboard engines capable of reaching speeds of up to 10 kilometers an hour, said the Holiday Park Hassloch, an amusement park in southwestern Germany which hosted the race.

Back in college, my parents got me a sandwich maker for my dorm room. I didn't realize it at the time, but it was the perfect gift. My roommate and I used to steal ingredients from the dining hall and keep them in our mini fridge. The hours the dining halls were open didn't always mesh well with the typical college social schedule... and we were poor students and the dining hall food was free. So at any given hour we might be making anything from BBQ chicken and Swiss melts to peanut butter and M&Ms sandwiches (a late night favorite). After freshman year I threw my sandwich maker away because it was so scratched up and dirty. It made great sandwiches but it was impossible to clean. I remember using a plastic knife and trying to scrape it clean in the common bathroom's sink. Yuck. Ten years later, college is a fading memory, no one owns a beeper anymore, Sean Kelly's band The Samples have broken up and sandwich making science has reached new technical heights. The engineering geniuses at T-Fal made a sandwich/waffle maker with dishwasher safe interchangeable grilling plates that snap in and out. Review: T-Fal Sandwich/Waffle Maker methodshop
