Smiling for the Birdie Gives Thieves Ruffled Feathers
NORWAY - The next pictures these two Norwegian Thieves are
going to pose for are their mug shots. A pair of robbers
smashed an electronic store's window to steal a video camera.
This would not have been so asinine if the dynamic duo had
realized that it was wired up to a separate recorder before
they decided to smile right into it. Police are now search-
ing for the thieves with close-up footage of the whole inci-
dent. Even the manager commented on the intelligence of
the robbers, saying "How stupid can you be?"
This Boy MUST Have a Mobile Phone
KIEV, Ukraine - One's teenage years can be awkward, self-
conscious, and filled with peer pressure. One Ukrainian teen-
ager took the peer pressure a little too seriously, however.
When his mother refused his request for a mobile phone, he
jumped from a fourth floor window. The 13-year-old boy was
immediately taken to the hospital where he remained in crit-
ical condition. Though he lived, the boy sustained serious
head injuries. The Ukraine is one of Europe's poorest count-
ries, but Status-conscious teenagers have helped the mobile
phone industry boom in the country.
