Did this guy really think his plan was foolproof? A Frenchman boarded a flight in Philadelphia and when he asked if he could ride in the cockpit, a flight attendant allowed him to. He then got in the pilot’s seat, but when the pilot showed up he claimed he was a pilot! The pilot asked for his ID and couldn’t even produce it. Seriously though? He was obviously arrested and I guess his ‘Catch Me If You Can’ fantasy is laid to rest. Check out the story after the jump.

Ever wish you could disappear and just be somewhere else? Well, fill out your application for the Mars One project launching in 2023.

This will be definitely be the newest honeymoon trend for celebrities! The first space tourist and tycoon, Dennis Tito, is funding a trip for a couple to spend a year and a half in a confined space on Mar.
