Read on as we present the five most brainless crimes you are ever likely to come across. ‘An optimistic bank robber in Alaska had planned. his robbery carefully. He selected the bank, prepared hils gun and entered. Cleverly pretenditig, to be a customer so as to not create a panic which might alert the police, he went up to the clerk and told her he wanted to open an account. The clerk asked for some identification ... which he gave her before taking out his gun and asking for money. Unsurprisingly, the police were able to find and arrest the robber very quickly. eo ‘An even less thoughtful bank robber was caught in 2009. This robber actually succeeded in his robbery, taking nearly $4000 dollars from a bank in South Carolina, Unfortunately, he was rather too pleased with himself, because one of the first things he did when he got home was to post a message on MySpace about his success. Once again, the police did not need a second invitation. mo Clearly, sometimes robbing a bank can be a litle difficult but surely robbing a cash machine should be easier... Not, however, for two robbers from Kentucky. The plan was simple: they would attach a large chain to the front of a cash machine and then fasten it to the bumper of their pickup. Once the cash machine was open, they would collect the money and escape. Unfortunately, the cash machine was a little stronger than they expected: instead of pulling the front of the cash machine off they lost their bumper. Panicking, they drove away, leaving the bumper behind ... with their car registration still attached.Outside the law?

It was quite late, around one o'clock in the morning or so, and I vas’ walking home by myself. I had been ata birthday party for the sister ofa friend ofa friend of mine and as my flat was not too far away ~ about a fwenty-minute walk ~ I decided to walk home Instead of spending money on a taxi, even though the night wasn't too warm, Ie was a nice walk along ‘quiet roads until, witha seream of tyes as it raced around a comer, a car suddenly appeared ahead of mo. The car stopped next to me and the driver got fot and ran away without a word surprised, 1 simply stood there trying to decide what to do: After a moment another ear appeared: a police car, also driving fast, chasing the first one. The police stopped behind the fist car and one of the police officers got out and told me to get into the back of his car, which I did. ‘Now, I had only been in Poland for a few weeks at; this time and my Polish was not exactly Quent. In fact I couldn't put two words together, so there was, not a chance I could understand the kind of fast, questions the policeman was asking me. So every fume he asked me a question, I answered with “I don't speak Polish. Do you speak English?” Unfortunately, he didn't. However, after a moment, of this his partner took a small black box, like a large mobile phone, out of a bag and gave it to me. At first I wasn't sure what it was ~ it was dark in the car, after all - but when I looked closely I saw it had. to be a radio as there was an antenna of some kind. and several buttons and lights on it. Gratefully, 1 took the radio, thinking the policeman must want me to speak to somebody at the station, probably somebody who spoke English, and started to speak: “Hello? Hello? Do you speak English? Hello?” Then the policeman showed me that the box was not for speaking into but for blowing into ... oh dear! In the end the policemen were very helpful. Once they understood 1 was not the driver of the other car they asked for my address and gave me a lift home, which took less time than walking and cost Jess money than a taxi. “All the same though”, I thought as I went to bed, “next time I think [il walk’.

However, not everyone agrees what this means in practical terms: is it still humane to kill animals for food, or should people stop eating meat and become vegetarians? @—— Many people today are choosing to become vegetarians. @—— Firstly, they think that eating meat_is wrong and that killing animals for food is cruel.!Secondly, producing meat is expensive: it would be more efficient to feed people the plant food instead of the meat. Furthermore, many people believe that eating meat may be unhealthy. The animals are at risk of illness because they live close together so vets give them antibiotics which can get into their meat. @—— on the other hana, ‘many doctors say that meat is good for us. If we want, we can buy healthy organic or free range meat. In addition, we can see from the way our teeth and stomachs are designed that it is natural for us to eat © neat Finally, there is the argument of free choice: that people should not be told what they can or can’t eat. (@—— 1 conclusion, although everybody should be able to eat what they like, I believe that a vegetarian diet is healthier, kinder to animals and cheaper and will become more popular in the future.;Nith so many hungry people in the world we should use our resources to feed everyone.

In this one he ‘writes about the kid he used to be and the strange world of 1950s America. Although this isa book about growing up in a particular time and place, Bryson makes it the story of anyone who has ever been ‘young. THELIFE AND TIMES OF THE THUNDERBOLT KD ‘We didn't call it the kitchen in our house. We called it the Burns Unit. ‘Ics a bit burned, my mother would say apologetically at every seal, presenting you with a piece of meat that looked like something, oy much-loved pet, pethaps ~ salvaged from a house fire. ‘But I think I scraped off most of the burned part, she would add, overlooking that this included every bit of it that had once been flesh. Happily, all chis: suited my father. His palate responded to only two tastes — burned and ice cream — so everything was fine by him so long as it was sufficiently dark and not too startlingly flavourful. Theirs truly was a marriage rade in heaven, for no one could burn food like my mother or eat it like my dad. “All our meals consisted of leftovers. My mother had a seemingly inexhaustible supply of foods that had already been to the table, sometimes repeatedly. Apart from a few perishable dairy products, tverything in the fridge was older than I was, sometimes by many years. The rule of thumb seemed to be that if you opened the lid and the stuff inside didn't make you actually recoil, it was deemed OK to eat. Both my parents had grown up in the Great Depression and neither of them ever threw anything away if they could possibly avoid it. My mother routinely washed and dried paper plates, and smoothed out for reuse spare aluminium foil. Ifyou left a pea on yout plate, it became part ofa future meal. All our Sugar came in lise packets spirited out of restaurants in deep coat pockets, as did our jams, jellies, crackers, tartare sauces, some of our ketchup and butte, all of our napkins and a very occasional ashtray.
