It's not every day a grade five student can make her dad proud by getting kicked out of school, but Keila Penner did.

Dress code at Maple Grove Elementary School in a suburb of Montreal requires students to wear a blue cardigan with the school logo, solid navy pants and a plain white shirt or blouse. They are not allowed to wear jeans, hats or anything with a logo on it.

So you can imagine how excited students must have been to be able to wear a hockey jersey of their favourite team to school instead of the standard uniform. It was designed for students to wear Canadiens jerseys to support the team for game one of the Easter Conference quarter-final series on Thursday. But 11-year-old Keila put on the jersey of her favourite team, the Ottawa Senators (who the Canadiens are playing in the first round) and went to school.

Keila endured verbal taunts and 'Senators suck' jabs from her classmates, although we're guessing it

Elton Kim is lucky to be alive after doing something we usually see stuntmen do in action movies: he clung to the hood of a car while a woman drove for more than three kilometres.

Kim didn't want to go for the death-defying ride. He intervened after a woman backed into his wife's SUV outside his dry cleaning business in Georgia two weeks ago. He stood in her way to try and keep her from escaping and then she suddenly accelerated. Kim was forced to jump on the hood to avoid being run over.

Jim Meyer began recording the video when the woman took off with Kim on the hood.

"It surprised me obviously," Meyer told WSBTV. "I wouldn't have expected somebody to take off with a guy on his hood, that's for sure."

Meyer said the driver didn't show any emotion. He assumed Kim had already called the police, but when he heard Kim ask him to call, he stopped recording and dialed 911.

When the woman stopped at a red light, several cars boxed

3D printers have been made to create jewelry, help a little girl use her arms and construct Pez dispensers, but now some suspect this neat new technology could be used for evil.

The world's first 3D gun has not only been printed, but it's also fired real bullets. This quashes theories that it may explode when fired because its mostly plastic.

"I think a lot of people weren't expecting that this could be done," said Cody Wilson, of a group called Defense Distributed, to BBC. The 25-year-old law student at the University of Texas and his group spent a year trying to create the firearm.

A video posted to YouTube yesterday shows the gun, called the Liberator, being fired. The group will make the plans of how to build the gun available online and this has gun control advocates wondering what to do next.

"These guns could fall into the hands of people who should not have guns - criminals, people who are seriously mentally ill, people who are convicted of domestic violence, even children," said

From a dog that is trained to use the toilet to a man who survived 27 hours at sea while sharks circled below, we've seen some great videos this week. Here are some of our favourites:

1. Dog trained to use toilet

If you have to get up super early and go out in the freezing cold to walk your dog, you will most likely want the name of whoever trained this dog. Somehow it knows how to hop on the toilet seat, relieve itself and then flush the toilet. According to a post on eHow, it is actually possible. "It may sound silly, but with a little patience, and a lot of encouragement, you can potty train your furry friend," reads the site. It outlines four steps, but I still have a hard time believing it.

2. Pilot lands helicopter on a guard rail

A van crashed on a highway in Norway and a doctor had to be quickly flown to the scene. The helicopter obviously was going to have issues landing on the road, so to drop the doctor off,

From a pilot landing a plane on its belly to an amazing story of an amputee recovering after the Boston bombings, we've seen some great videos this week. Here are some of our favourites:

1. Pilot lands plane on belly without landing gear

Pilot Michelle Stauffer has been flying for more than three decades and never had such a scary experience in the air. KMBC reports her and co-pilot Terry Blake were heading to a meeting Thursday when their landing gear wouldn't go down. So they made a U-turn and headed back to their airfield in Kansas. The backup emergency system also failed. They circled the airfield while calling mechanics and reading the manual, but nothing worked. So she decided to bring the plane in on its belly. In the video you can even see where the propeller scratched the runway. However, the incident is not scaring Stauffer out of the skies. She plans to get the plane fixed and get back up in the air as soon as she can.

[ Last week's must-see video: Orangutan steals tourist's

We know dogs are incredibly loyal. One lay at the foot of Navy SEAL Jon Tumilson's coffin during his funeral and a German Shepherd attended mass every day for months at the church where his owner's funeral was held.

Now we are seeing a video showing a service dog named Wiley "crying" at the grave of his handler's grandmother.

While dogs can get emotional for a number of reasons including the loss of a loved one, it's hard to imagine a dog crying. The video has received more than 130,000 views and YouTube after it was uploaded by user sarahvarley13 and reaction varies.

"This is why I love dogs more than humans, dogs are loyal and will never back-stab you," writes one commenter on YouTube.

"So sad...I hugged my dog something like 50 times after I watched this video," write another. Many of the more than 200 comments extol the dog's loyalty. But not everyone sees it that way.

From an orangutan pretending to be a person to people getting stuck in sticky situations, we've seen some great videos this week. Here are our favourites:

We're not sure if this orangutan was cold or just wanted to act more human, but either way it made one tourist pay for getting to close to the cage. Somehow the orangutan at a zoo in the Philippines got its hand on the man's shirt, ripped it right off of him, put it on and started parading around the cage on its hind legs.

2. Best Walmart greeter ever

It's always nice to shop somewhere where people like their job and that may just be what keeps people coming back to one Walmart. Well...that and the low prices. Mr. Willy says hello and goodbye to people as they walk in and out of the Walmart, but he does so much more than that. He says most people want a "Bam." And when everyone walks by him they know what that means. They put up a fist and Mr. Willy knocks it with his fist while

A giant sinkhole opened up this morning in Chicago swallowing three cars and sending one man to hospital.

It's about 13 metres wide, making it wider than a city street. Initially there was only two cars in the hole, but a third was hanging by the tires and eventually fell.

Merko Krivokuca was driving his pickup when the road bucked and his car fell into the hole, but he is said to be doing okay at the hospital, according to the Chicago Tribune. The other two cars that fell in were parked at the side of the road. One of the owners watched it slide.

The sinkhole is being blamed on a rainstorm that pummeled the area causing a water main to break. Tom LaPorte, a spokesman for the Water Department, told the Tribune the cast iron pipe that dates back to 1915 may have broke due to the heavy rains. Flooding brought on by more than 15 cm of rain has forced the closure of several major roads, schools and some flights.
