Don't Catch A Plane, Pull It

Most of us use public transportation for exactly that, transporting us from A to B. But there's an Indian-born guy in Britain who has another take on the uses of buses and airplanes: he likes to pull them along himself.

Crazy fundraiser Manjit Singh was already in the record books for pulling a double-decker bus with his teeth and pulling a Vulcan bomber with a harness around his waist. So last week he decided it was time to pull a Jetstream 41 airliner using only his ears. The plane weighed about 16,300 pounds and using an ear harness, Singh tugged it for 12 feet.

Yeah, he's trying to raise money for kids in India to get involved in sport, but can't someone just tell him there's an easier way to travel? Or is there a job for him at airports when those little tugging machines run out of batteries?
