This man’s name is Conrad Zdzierak, 30, who disguised as a black man and in only 3 hours could rob 5 banks and a drug store. So, right after the robberies, the police couldn’t even suspect the man as they were looking for a black man.

Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull’s volcano continued to spew ash all over Europe, it should remind all of us of the wrath that Mother Nature can wreak.
