I thought this was superb. Apologies to those who've already seen it.

Police say 40-year-old Thomas Infante walked into the bank and gave a staff member a note saying, "Be Quick...Give your cash or I'll shoot".

He got $400 (£270), but left behind half of his note as he fled.

Detectives found the rest of the slip - complete with his name and home address - outside the bank's front doors. Mr Infante was later arrested at his home in Cary, Illinois. If convicted of bank robbery, he faces up to 20 years in prison.

They had this TV show on several years ago, all about stupid criminals and the mistakes they made while committing their crimes. Can't remember the title but it was really funny and pathetic at the same time.

Why then, because we don't have a Queen? Isn't Perez Hilton enough for you?
