Stray Bullet Shoots Through House and Gently Taps Man's Forehead

Josh Demeritt of Rochester, New Hampshire, was playing video games one night when he heard a loud noise erupt in his room and felt something lightly hit his forehead. After presumably wishing his 14-year-old opponents a good night and logging off the game, Demeritt looked around and saw 1) a hole in his wall and 2) a freaking bullet on the floor.

His Xbox Live account was immediately flagged for hacking.

The bullet had gone through two walls and a window before reaching Demeritt's forehead -- had there been one fewer obstacle in its path, Demeritt probably would have needed a new hoodie (also, a head). Police were able to trace the trajectory of the bullet to the house across the street and the shooter, who fired his gun accidentally while cleaning it and then tried to hide it in a pile of snow outside a laundromat.

Remember, kids: You never know when a genius like that is living across the street from you, so delete your browser history before sitting down for some Call of Duty.

30-Foot Sinkhole Swallows Car Whole in Driveway

A teenager in High Wycombe, England, was getting ready to go out one morning when she noticed something weird: Her car wasn't in the driveway. In fact, neither was the driveway, since it had been replaced by a 30-foot sinkhole that had gobbled the entire car while no one was looking in what has to be the largest midnight snack known to man.

The House That Cars Keep Crashing Into

The McCall family of Indiana has lived a quiet life in an unassuming duplex for the past 30 years -- except for the part where cars keep crashing into their dining room and ruining their evenings. The most recent example happened on December 26, when an SUV barreled into their home and barely missed Leigh McCall by about a foot, making this the 11th car to hit their house.
