Mankind has created spectacular works of art, engineered incredibly tall buildings, designed impressive supercomputers, lived in outerspace, discovered cures for nasty diseases. As a whole, nothing can compare to human intelligence, but sometimes, humans think they need a panty raid.

Underwear on the face didn't fool anyone

Feb 14 2008 - AP
A robbery suspect tried to hide his face with a pair of underwear but the disguise didn't fool witnesses. Police arrested Jerry Keene, 40, and Elizabeth Blankenship, 48, both of English, a short time after the pair allegedly robbed the Hillbilly Market in English Tuesday night.

McDowell County sheriff's Chief Deputy Mark Shelton says Blankenship went into the convenience store and then left. Keene then entered, concealing his face with the underwear, allegedly showed a gun and demanded money.

Shelton said witnesses identified the suspect, despite the disguise.

Blankenship and Keene were each charged with armed robbery. They were being held Wednesday night at the McDowell County Holding Facility.
