Not REALLY The Sort Of BANK to ROB!!!

thief
In India this week a man was arrested by police after having robbed a bank of a different kind.

We've all heard the old jokes about the Irishman robbing the sperm bank by mistake, but it appears in this case that the sperm bank stolen from in this news item was indeed the actual target.

It's believed he was apprehended while trying to sell the 'samples'.

Not really the sort of commodity you expect to be sold on the street corner. It's an awfully long jump to that from "Pssst....Wanna buy a watch!"!

As far as I know of, there were no takers.

The REAl Size Of The LOCH NESS MONSTER

September 13th 2007 10:01
Loch Ness Monster
Many people in Scotland and all over the world have been fascinated with the idea of the Loch Ness Monster and the possibility of it's existence.
