Skydiving with an umbrella

Who hasn't thought of jumping out of a plane (or at least off the garage roof) with an umbrella? Extreme athlete Erik Roner decided to play Mary Poppins for real. From a hot air balloon.

You're a man. Time to start smelling like one.

Are you tired of showering with your wife's floral-scented girly soaps? Do you want to smell like a real man? If your answer is "yes," then Man Soap is for you. Here's a sampling of available scents:

Bacon
By far the manliest of meats, Bacon Soap is the only soap meat lovers need to smell like clean sweet swine all day.

Baseball Glove
There's nothing quite like that rich smell of a leather baseball glove. The game is on everywhere you go.

Beer
There is perhaps no manlier smell than the scent of a cold pint of beer. Why wait until the drunk guy dumps it over you in the packed bar?

Bonfire
Only real men can build a bonfire, and only the manliest can smell like one.

Brewed Coffee
Don't worry you won't smell like a Frappuccino with whipped cream, we're talking a manly blend of black coffee.

Cash
There is no smell a young female will be more attracted to, trust us.

Cedar Log Cabin
Relax to the smell of a cozy log cabin from the comfort of your apartment full of smelly sweat socks and rotting food under your bed.

Fresh Cut Grass
Nothing screams man like mowing the lawn, so this smell will remind you of the smell of a job well done.

Top Soil
Nothing says manly like dirt, so now's your chance to smell like you're covered in it without all the worms and gravel.

Urinal Mint
The urinal mint is unique in that usually only men are around them staring down, wishing that smell could be all theirs. But its usually covered in pee. So if you want to smell manly, clean your hands with a soap that smells like a freshly un-pee'd on urinal cake."

There are 9 more manly scents to choose from. Check them all out at Gadgets and Gear.

Man stranded in the desert converts his car into a motorcycle and drives to safety

Before Tony Stark built his prototype Iron Man suit in an Afghan terrorist camp, Emile Leray had his own MacGyver moment in the desert.

The French electrician was driving through the Moroccan desert in 1993 when his Citreon broke down 20 miles from the nearest village. He didn't think he could make it on foot, so he did what any enterprising 43-year-old man would do: he decided to build a crude motorcycle out of parts from his car.

Using a hacksaw and a small assortment of other tools, Leray went to work. He shortened the car's chassis, reattached the axles and two of the tires, placed the engine and gearbox in the middle, and fashioned part of the rear bumper into a seat. 12 days later, he drove himself to civilization.
