Robotic Hilarity…

Prepare yourself for what must be the best news story of the week…

An Army Sergeant based in Tuscon, Arizona attempted to rob a bank by duct-taping his own mouth shut and passing a note to the cashier that said there was a bomb in there. What a damn fine plan.

Police officers saw something was amiss, and rushed the guy. Obviously a bomb didn’t go off (because there wasn’t one in his mouth to begin with). They dragged him out of there, “risking their own lives,” and called in the bomb squad just to be safe.

Of course, the bomb squad used the giant robot to remove the tape and search the guy’s mouth. The picture below is evidence that this is not a joke at all.

Just the greatest news story of the week.
