A Texas bank robber took time out while making his getaway to buy new cowboy duds so he wouldn’t be recognized, then rode off into the sunset – on a bus.

Police said the unidentified bandit was wearing a T-shirt and a baseball cap when he held up a Fort Worth bank. But after the heist, he headed straight for a store to buy a cowboy shirt and cowboy hat, put them on, and jumped aboard the bus.

A man in Ann Arbor, Mich., hoping to get his reluctant girlfriend to accept his marriage proposal, jumped out his apartment window and ran through his neighborhood naked – to show her that taking risks is important.

When a man and woman came walking by, he hid in some bushes. But the male passer-by heard the bushes rustling and pulled out a handgun.

The naked Romeo took off with the armed man in pursuit. A shot was fired and the luckless lover stumbled and fell – but was not hit.

The gunman was arrested on gun and assault charges. The naked man was not charged. It’s not known if he’s now engaged to be married.

Then he administered CPR to save the animal.

Britain’s prestigious Royal Academy put a block of slate on display, topped by a tiny piece of wood, in the mistaken belief it was a work of art.

But it wasn’t. The slate was a plinth – a slab on which a pedestal is placed. And the wood was intended to prop up a sculpture of a head, which had been entered in an art competition at the London gallery, but was nowhere to be seen.

In a statement, the academy said, “The head was rejected. The base was thought to have merit.”

An art graduate at Bath Spa University in England knitted a red Ferrari sports car for her honors degree. It’s supported by a steel frame, which its creator welded herself.
