News - Those Bizzare Stories

Blind car thief crashes stolen car
A 24-year-old from Romania crashed into a tree in a car he stole earlier. The Romanian man decided to steal a car after he had a row with friends about his inablility to do anything. His friends told him he was useless.

To prove his friends wrong Alin Popescu set out to steal a car and drive it home. That would shut 'm up, so he thought.

He actually managed to break into a parked car and start it with a screwdriver. He even succeeded in driving the car over a busy road for half a mile (0.8 km).

   

But after that the fun was over. Alin lost the little control over the car he had and smashed into a tree. He was knocked out by the crash and later arrested by the police.

He told police: "I just wanted to prove to myself that I could do anything I wanted - despite my handicap. I only crashed because I was not sure of the way home."

If I were Alin, I would find some better friends. Maybe doing something which is actually legal is also a smarter thing to do. At least he'll have plenty of time to think about his stupidness in jail!

 

Egg-walking man pulls car with ears
A Chinese man has managed to pull a car while walking on eggs without breaking a single egg. Not only did he pull the car 20 metres, he actually did it with his ears!

The 38-year-old probably has the strangest talent ever seen, but he sure drew a big crowd while he was pulling the car in Dehui, Jinli. The onlookers were astonished by the man's performance. Zhang says he started learning the stunt when he was only 8 years old.

 

Another amazing thing this Chinese can do is pick up a 25 kg bicycle with his mouth while, of course, standing on eggs. We can't figure out what his talents are good for, but they sure are amazing.
