Late job

Today's WTF ..  A man who tried to hold up a bank that closed 17 years ago has been jailed for seven years, in what the Bild newspaper on Friday called the case of "Germany's dumbest bank robber"..

"After the defendant recognised the situation, he changed his plan and demanded a passer-by withdraw money from the cash machine," the court said.
"She withdrew 400 euros and the defendant made off with the cash in a car he had stolen."He later abandoned the vehicle but left the plastic pistol, covered with his fingerprints, between the seats.

The £200,000 lab-grown burger

Today's WTF ..  A vascular biologist said he'll grow 3,000 thin strips of meat in a petri dish, then pack them together with some lab-grown fat. But because 'cultured meat' contains no blood, the flesh will be pale, like a scallop. The finished product is likely to cost at least £200,000.
'Cultured meat' begins with stem cells harvested from slaughterhouse leftovers..

£200,000 for meat grown from Slaughterhouse leftovers? Um, that poo meat is sounding better every day!
