Machu Picchu, Peru

The Taj Mahal, India.

Both places I would love to visit, though from Upsetters stories of his Peru trip recently, think I'm going to need to give up smoking first and get a bit more exercise.

AMERICAN MAN ATTEMPTS TO ROB BANK DISGUISED AS A TREE

Sky News said:
Police in America have arrested a man who robbed a bank 'disguised' as a tree.
CCTV footage shows the man entering the bank with branches and leaves taped to his body.

After patiently waiting in the queue with fellow customers, the man makes his move, ordering the bank cashier to fill a bag full of cash, Fox News reported.

Unfortunately for the suspect, a dye pack inside the bag exploded.

And in a second stroke of bad luck, the man's face could be clearly seen by the CCTV camera through his foliage.

He was later arrested at his home in Manchester, New Hampshire.

It is just the latest in a run of odd attempts by robbers trying to get their hands on some extra cash.

Earlier this year, two teenage girls robbed a bank in Georgia, USA, and their only disguise was their sunglasses. The so-called Barbie Bandits were soon caught.

Last summer in Dorset, a pair of bungling robbers who targeted a pub for its takings were caught after dressing up in heavy puffa jackets, parkas and hats - on the hottest day of the year.

In April this year, a man who tried to steal an entire cash machine in California was captured after his prosthetic leg fell off during his getaway attempt. :rofl:

And in Italy in 2006, a pair dubbed "Bonnie and Clyde" robbed people by kissing passionately in a park and then jumping out to attack distracted passers-by.

She's confusing it with one of the infamous Iraqi monkey-dogs.

Dr Foster warned us all about this in a rhyme before even I was born and he never went there again.

The article in Lisa's link said:
Justice Crawford said the trio ended up at the Village Green Tavern, east of Hobart, where the complainant crashed to the floor with his buttocks exposed while his friend ran around the pub in the nude.
