A man uses an unusual weapon to rob a store, a bear holds police at bay for six hours, a long-leaping cat sets a world record, and a Yankees fan getting a beer bath are the Must See Videos for Friday.

BANANA ROBBERY

Philadelphia police want to find the man who allegedly robbed a convenience store with a banana.

He hid it inside his sweatshirt, pretending it was a gun, and demanded money and cigarettes.

Police say the man then "peeled" off on a bicycle.

BEAR STANDOFF

And police in Green Bay, Wisconsin were kept busy Thursday trying to capture a bear wandering through a neighborhood.

Officers surrounded the animal, basically putting the area into lockdown for six hours.

Children were escorted to school.

As crowds gathered, wildlife officers tranquilized the bear. It was then put into a trap and will be released in a more appropriate area.

RECORD CAT LEAP

From the Guinness Book of World Records comes "Alley" the cat.

The rescue cat from Chicago now holds the title of "longest-jumping cat" with a six-foot leap.

Her owner says she noticed Alley liked to jump as a kitten, so she trained her to jump longer and longer distances.

BEER BATH

A foul ball at Thursday night's Blue Jays vs Yankees game ended up giving one fan a beer bath.

One man tried to catch the ball with his beer, but instead doused his friend with the beverage.

The friend shook it off and sat back to enjoy seeing the Yankees win.
