A doughnut shop employee fought off a thief by hitting him repeatedly on the head with a mug - not because he was worried about the money, but because he didn't want to look like a loser if the video was put on YouTube.
Dunkin' Donuts employee Dustin Hoffmann (seriously) fought back with a ceramic mug when the man tried to rob the store he worked at in Elmwood Park, New Jersey.
'What was going through my mind at that point was that the security tape is either going to show me run away and hide in the office or whack this guy in the head, so I just grabbed the cup and clocked the guy pretty hard,' Hoffmann told The Record of Bergen County.

(For years, scientists have been puzzled by the so-called "missing gravity" in a huge swath of land centered around Hudson Bay in Northern Canada, above.)
Scientists have known that the Hudson Bay region features lower gravity than surrounding areas.
