The bit about looking for criminals in Darth Vader masks is priceless. I suppose the Police are acting under the preminition that a real star wars geek would leave his apparel 'on' at all times. I suppose you never know when a liquid fuel lightsaber wielding Jedi will cross your path. One must always be prepared to vanquish knights of the order, I know I am.

If I meet Darth Vader or a Storm Trooper on my way to school, I might turn around and go home.

I don't think anyone in Norway has become so "fanatic" to use that word. I mean, they did wait in line for 7 weeks but they don't commit crimes.

Waiting in line for seven weeks to see a movie, while not illegal, is a crime. :D

I want to know if they were sober or not. Because seriously, I have NEVER been drunk enough to disregard my common sense regarding that kind of idiocy. Sword fighting with wrapping paper rolls, yes. With very long glass tubes? Umm...definately not. :rolleyes:

What were they thinking? And I have to wonder, did they take the tubes apart and put in some sort of special fuel to make the reporters mention that or just break out some standard bulbs and start whacking away at each other? I could see 7 year olds attempting this, but those two must have been dropped on their head from their roof's.

ROFLMGDAO!!!!! :D :D :D

Wasn't it Oscar Wilde who once stated something to the effect of 'there is nothing common about common sense' ?

Honestly, the sheer stupidity of the human race never fails to astonish.... :rolleyes: :D

I'm waiting for people to start reenacting Gladiator or something with large kitchen knives in place of the gladius' which were used by the Roman's now. Need to make your video's of stupid act's realistic and stuff you know. :rolleyes:

They couldn't have gotten something made of plastic and put those little glow sticks inside of it and done it in the dark? :confused:
