In October 2011, an entire 50 foot long, 40 ton bridge was stolen from North Beaver Township, PA., USA! Can you rewrite this? A bank robbery was foiled in New Castle, Del., USA, on October 8, 2011, when the bank teller was unable to read the illegible handwriting on the robber's note! Officials in Caracas, Venezuela, hired 120 colorfully dressed mimes to teach the city's drivers and pedestrians about traffic laws!

The Emperor Nero banned Mimes from the city of Rome. Ugo Chavez INVITED them into the city of Caracas.There’s a deeper mening here, but I’m not quite sure what it is.

I heard about the note thing, apparently he panicked and drove off before the police eventually caught up to him.

I hear a lot about people stealing metal, mostly copper. I don’t understand why the authorities don’t crack down on the scrap metal buyers. If you can’t sell it you won’t steal it.
