What the Hell Theater


A bank teller in West Palm Beach, Florida apparently used a Jedi mind trick against a would-be robber last week that led to his arrest. According to CBS 12, a 59-year-old man walked into the Sabadell United Bank last Tuesday, and allegedly told the teller he was armed, and he wanted cash in the beer-filled grocery bag he handed to her. The bank employee pretended to comply, telling the suspect, later identified as Robert Henderson, to have a seat while she got the cash together. In the meantime, she sounded a silent alarm, and stalled Henderson enough to give cops time to respond. Henderson was arrested as soon as he stepped outside the bank, and all the cash recovered.

An 83-year-old woman from Queens, New York wants a million bucks from Apple, after she said she recently smashed her face into the transparent door of an Apple Store on Long Island, New York, breaking her nose. According to the New York Post, Evelyn Paswell says Apple's aesthetic is potentially deadly for old people. The attorney who filed her lawsuit, Derek T. Smith, told the Post, "Apple wants to be cool and modern and have the type of architecture that would appeal to the tech crowd, but on the other hand, they have to appreciate the danger that this high-tech modern architecture poses to some people.” Paswell claimed to The Post that she sees well enough to drive.
