BURGLARS GO BACK TO ASK FOR RECEIPTS

Three burglars were arrested in Brazil after they returned to a house and asked for the receipts for the goods they had stolen.
The young thieves told the owners of the house in Belo Horizonte that they were struggling to sell the TV and mobile phones because they didn't have the original receipts.
A policeman told: "We have never seen anything so stupid”.
"It was obvious that when they rang the bell the owner of the house would call us straight away and they would all be arrested.
"They are all underage and I think they were just really naive and thought they would get away with going back."

This invection makes a lot of people life easier:

THE BIONIC HAND

The world's first commercially available bionic hand took many hands many years to develop. Created by Touch Bionics, it's multi-articulating, meaning each finger has its own motor. Artificial hands are often hooklike, limited to simple open and close gestures, but the iLimb has more subtle capabilities, like a credit-card grip for grasping narrow objects. It also has a power hold for larger things like coffee mugs.
