Title: Big robbery in Brazil
Post by: A Boojum Snark on August 09, 2005, 08:30:20 PM

Went to wikipedia to look something up and noticed this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banco_Central_Fortaleza_robbery) in their news... I hadn't heard about it which surprised me considering it's the 2nd largest ever. <_<

I read the headline here, but not the story:  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4133388.stm (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4133388.stm)

I check BBC and CNN a few times a day, never saw mention of it on CNN.

Funny, I saw it on Reuter's Oddly enough headlines, the same place you find things about a husband who left his wife at a gas station in Italy and drove 6 hours without noticing she wasn't in the car (here (http://today.reuters.com/news/newsarticle.aspx?type=oddlyEnoughNews&summit=&storyid=2005-08-08T150326Z_01_L08225138_RTRIDST_0_ODD-ITALY-WIFE-DC.XML))

So, it was odd not to see this on front page, but I guess people want to keep this under wraps. here the link I have: Clickeh! (http://today.reuters.com/news/newsarticle.aspx?type=oddlyEnoughNews&summit=TelecomSummit05&storyid=2005-08-09T174617Z_01_N08361834_RTRIDST_0_ODD-BRAZIL-HEIST-DC.XML)

Sometimes I feel guilty reading the Oddly Enoughs because they are often both tragic and hilarious at the same time. For example, this (http://today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=oddlyEnoughNews&storyID=2005-08-09T171158Z_01_SEO177834_RTRIDST_0_ODD-KOREA-GAMES-DC.XML).

If he was playing NS: "Ok guys, let me just finish this last game. I have to spend my res!" A few minutes later, people are yelling at the afk gorge.
