Taarkin Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 ABC Online Friday, November 8, 2002. Posted: 10:48:47 (AEDT) Police search for 'sorcerer' after invisible robbery Police in Iran are looking for a phoney sorcerer who conned a man into believing he was invisible, and could therefore rob banks. Local newspapers say customers at a Tehran bank quickly overpowered the deluded robber after he had started snatching banknotes from their hands. Appearing in court, the repentant thief explained he had paid about $1,000 to a man who gave him some spells and told him to tie them to his arm to become invisible. The would-be bank robber reportedly told the judge he realised he had made a mistake as soon as he was nabbed. His sentence is not known.
Jem Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 Some people are so... there is no word to describe such stupidity...
Tyrion Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 I think that the guy who gave him that stuff should win a nobel prize! either that or a darwin award:p
Rogue Nine Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 He'd have to be dead or sterile to receive a Darwin.
Taarkin Posted November 8, 2002 Author Posted November 8, 2002 Practicing mysticism + Iranian government = dead, probably.
Jem Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 In most of the center zone of the african continent, where I've lived several times, those kind of "sorcerers" are called "Marabou" and in those countries where there's a "Marabou Culture" about 90% of the population believe in it. Believe me, I've heard of stupider stuff than that invisible story... Even the presidents have their special "Marabou" and consult them for political stuff... These "Marabou" are the worst thieves I've ever seen.

Flying Beastie Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 I'm more interested in seeing what The Onion can possibly do to top this.
Taarkin Posted November 8, 2002 Author Posted November 8, 2002 Simply walk up to them and offer them money. You get boobs on your tounge and they don't steal anythin extra.
