A MAN TRIED TO ROB A BANK AFTER PAYING $500 TO A WIZARD TO MAKE HIM INVISIBLE



Never trust strangers. That is something most of us were taught by our parents or guardians at an early stage of our life, especially if the stranger says he is a sorcerer who can turn you invisible whilst you rob a bank!

Unfortunately, for one man in Iran, he made the mistake of trusting a fake sorcerer who convinced him that he was invisible and could rob a bank safely. The man explained to the court that he had paid five million rials (just under £290) to a wizard imposter, who in return gave him a set of spells to tie to his arm. The fake sorcerer explained to him that the spells would make him invisible, and that he could then rob banks all he wanted.

I actually had to read this to see if it should be in the "Florida man thread."

That's what I thought too. Never knew Florida Man has kinfolk in Iran.
Think of this.
He walk into the bank grabbing money from customer's hands.
Thinking he was invisible and would not be seen.
But even if he actually was invisible, wouldn't they see the money floating around the bank in mid-air?
This guy is not the brightest bulb in the box.

Florida Man,Iran Man. It makes no difference because none of them are even sure where or what they are.

The good news here is this one isn't registered to vote Dim.

Probably.

Unharnessed harness?  That's up there with the guy who made the 190 foot bungee jump with a 200 foot cord.

That is a hazard of working in any grain bin.
"Drowning" might not be as accurate as suffocated, because wen you exhale, the grain shifts to fill the space your body leaves when you breathe out, and each successive breath will be smaller.
The overall effect is the same.
Between 20-30 people a year get killed this way.

I knew of a derrick hand on an oil rig who forgot to tie off his harness...90 ft. to the drill floor.

Or even "Florida Undecided",who "dresses" appropriately for whatever party it is going to attend.a

I was just wondering if maybe it was a guy who thought nobody would find an xray image of a man with TWO penises to be somewhat unusual,and worthy of a closer look.
