The Umbrella Goes Evil: Used in Bank Robbery


Not sure what this says about our friendly umbrella, but now we have a bank robber, dressed all in black and fully masked, using a black umbrella--what, to shield his shielded face?

According to The Virginian-Pilot: "Police are looking for a man who robbed a BB&T bank Tuesday morning on Kempsville Road.

The robber walked into the bank about 9:50 a.m. with a large, open black umbrella and showed a silver handgun to a teller, police spokesman Adam Bernstein said. After taking cash, the man ran toward Indian River Road."




Luckily, a CNET Crave article has pointed us to the solution for this--acquiring a Ninja umbrella so that one can go "jumping across thatched straw rooftops, stealing precious family heirlooms in the middle of the night, throwing pointy stars, and honoring my giant rat sensei by ridding the world of mutated rhinos and warthogs. And now I won't have to worry about getting wet in the process." Amazon.com will sell you one of these as a Samurai umbrella.
