Police are on the hunt for a man who robbed a New Hampshire bank on Saturday disguised as a tree, according to MyFoxBoston.com.
The suspect walked into the Citizen's Bank in Manchester with tree branches duct taped to his body and demanded money from the teller.
The teller filled a bag with cash and the suspect took off. A dye pack inside the bag exploded, the Web site reported.
Manchester cops described the man as a white male, between 45 and 50 years old, wearing glasses and a blue shirt.
Those tree branches must have been quite convincing. I have colored this post green in tribute to his ingenuity. The report makes no mention of a weapon so I can't figure any other reason the teller actually gave the bipedal foliage any money. It would never occur to me to tape any sort of flora to myself in an attempt to fool regular people---this I will have to try Halloween 2008. (I already have plans for Halloween 2007, which I will discuss further as we get closer to that date.)

Hahahahahaha. That is absolutely hilarious.
I probably would have been too busy laughing to even give him the money. Or perhaps he was given the money out of pity or congratulations for being the first person ever to try that one.
Heh. Only to have the ink bag explode...poor guy.
Perhaps it was a social experiment on how well the human can adapt the disguise of the stick mantis?
I should add that the result of the experiment was found to be "Not particularly well".
Heh. Everyone loves the prospect of social experiments gone awry!
