Would have fooled me...
James Coldwell, 49, was arrested in Manchester, N.H., in July and charged as the man who robbed a Citizen Bank branch dressed as a tree (branches duct-taped to his body and head, obscuring much of his face, though he was still identified from the security camera).

Redheads set for extinction
Found this article to be a little scary! Where would the world be without us!
PETER Beattie, Nicole Kidman and Michael Voss are. So were William Shakespeare, Christopher Columbus and Queen Elizabeth the First. According to genetic scientists redheads are becoming rarer and could be extinct in 100 years. But the future doesn't look bright for people with ginger hair.
The current National Geographic magazine reports that less than 2 per cent of the world's population has natural red hair - created by a mutation in northern Europe thousand of years ago.
Global intermingling, which broadens the availability of possible partners, has reduced the chances of redheads meeting and so producing little redheads of their own.
Although it takes only one red-haired parent to produce ginger babies, two redheads obviously creates a much stronger possibility.
Some experts warn redheads could be gone as early 2060, but others say the gene can be dormant in the reproductive system for generations before returning.
National Geographic says the gene at first had the beneficial effect of increasing the body's ability to make vitamin D from sunlight. However, today's carriers are more prone to skin cancer and have a higher sensitivity to heat and cold-related pain.

Engagement
Well its been a while since I last sat down and had a serious attempt at a blog. Over the last month many things have happened that has just pointed my life into the right direction. The biggest one was getting engaged to my now fiancé Mandy!
So how did it happen? Well Mandy saw a ring she liked and hinted at it pretty strongly, and I played dumb explaining that I was on student wages and couldn't possibly afford a ring to get engaged right at this second! So she was at work and I bought it! I got on the phone to the USA, that was easier than I thought, and got permission from the Dad!
I walked down to Ella and hid in her office. An announcement went over the loudspeaker saying that there was a package in Mandy's office and when she walked in I was there doing the whole on one knee trick!
So the rest is future! So weddings and engagement partys are next. I'll keep you all posted!
