Cycling's biggest race has seen doping scandals before, but this year's cheating concern is different entirely, riders being checked for padded clothing designed to shave time through aerodynamics. It is one of three stories in this week's roundup built for maximum disbelief.

The lineup also includes a Montana hiker who chose to walk sixteen kilometers impaled on his own hiking pole rather than pay for an air ambulance, and a New Jersey deli theft that somehow connects back to a certain HBO mob classic through the shop owner's name alone.

None of it is essential news. All of it is worth two minutes.
