Man filmed himself being run over by train! (Video)

A stunt in which a man filmed himself being run over by a high speed train has been branded as "stupidity in the extreme".

The unknown man is seen lying lengthways between the tracks while an approaching train terrifyingly thunders over the top of him.

The 56-second clip was uploaded on YouTube where it attracted 270,000 hits before being removed, reports the Daily Mirror.

The man is seen looking up nervously at the camera as what looks like a freight train can be heard approaching in the background.

After it spends 20 seconds thundering past, mere inches from his head, the man casually checks himself for injuries, jumps up, collects his camera and runs off as the train screeches to a halt out of shot.

It is unclear whether the video was shot in the UK but Network Rail have branded the stunt as "stupidity in the extreme".

A Network Rail spokesman said: "It doesn't bear thinking about what would have happened if the turbulence created had swept the man's coat up into the underside of the train.

"Not only that but think about the effect on the train driver who believes he has just killed somebody.

"Nobody who has any regard for their own safety or the feelings of others should attempt a stunt like this."

Woman's phone eaten by crocodile

Zookeepers in Ukraine didn't believe a visitor who claimed a crocodile ate her mobile phone - until they heard its stomach ringing.

Rimma Golovko, a new mum in her 20s, admits being at fault for the accident at an aquarium in the eastern city of Dnipropetrovsk.

She stretched out her arm to snap a photo of Gena opening his mouth and dropped her Nokia phone into the water, reports the Daily Mail.

"This should have been a very dramatic shot, but things didn't work out," said Ms Golovko.

She told keepers what had happened but they did not believe her until they heard the phone ring.

"The sound was coming from inside our Gena's stomach and we understood she wasn't lying," said aquarium employee Alexandra.

Ms Golovko is resigned to losing her phone, but still wants its SIM card back since that has her precious photos and contacts.

The mishap has caused bigger problems for the crocodile, which has not eaten or had a bowel movement in four weeks and appears listless.

"The animal is not feeling well," said Alexandra. "His behaviour has changed, he moves very little and swims much less than he used to."

Dnipropetrovsk chief veterinarian Oleksandr Shushlenko said the crocodile will be taken for an X-ray next week if he continues to refuse food.

Dog loves to walk on two legs

A poodle has become something of a local celebrity in China - because he prefers to walk upright on his hind legs.

One-year-old Treasure can walk for more than half-a-mile on two legs - and often attracts crowds of fans.

Owner Dou Xianhui, 50, of Jilin City, started to train Treasure to walk on his hind legs not long after he was born - and says he took to it straight away.

"I only trained him for around a week, and then he started to walk on two legs by himself and can't seem to stop," he said.

"Since learning to walk on two legs, Treasure hardly ever walks with all four legs on the ground.

"His walking speed is about the same as mine, and he can walk like that for 20 to 30 minutes non-stop.

"Many times when I take him for his daily walk along the Songhua River, there are fans waiting, wanting to take pictures and say hello to him."

Man takes sex dolls on holiday

A Canadian man has left his wife at home to travel the world with six sex dolls for company.

Dave Hockey, 57, insists his wife "doesn't mind" about his £16,000 bizarre trip of a lifetime, reports The Sun.

So far, he has travelled with his fake girlfriends across Britain and America, taking in Stonehenge, the Grand Canyon and Niagara Falls.

The dad-of-two said: "My wife understands it is a hobby. She isn't threatened by the dolls she knows I'm not going to run off with an 80lb piece of silicone shaped like a woman."

Mr Hockey flew 'Realdoll' Bianca and 'Teddy Babe Deluxe' Carley to Britain for trips to Oxford, Wiltshire and Abergavenny, Wales.

He also filmed a seven-week road trip across America, from his home in Nova Scotia to San Diego, meeting other doll owners for his own documentary.

And during the holiday, Bianca, a £2,000 silicone doll who featured in the film Lars and the Real Doll, was taken sky-diving, horseback riding and for on the back of a Harley Davidson motorbike.

Mr Hockey has even bought £1,270 worth of glamorous outfits for the dolls, 18 wigs at £38 each plus several pairs of stilettos.

He added: "I purchased my first dolls in November 2006. They looked cute. I think the dolls are pretty - any man is lying if he says they aren't."

His collection includes life-size dolls Jessica, Gabrielle, Jocelyn, Lilly, Ruby, Jenny, and Bianca, and the slightly smaller Teddy Babes Carley, Samantha, Diana, Miyuki, Jessica, Janelle and Nita.
