THIS IS BAAAAAAD

Well here's something you don't see every day:


TWO escaped convicts have dodged a huge manhunt - by disguising themselves as SHEEP.

The pair dressed in full sheepskin fleeces, complete with heads, to lie low among farm flocks.

Robbers Maximiliano Pereyra, 25, and Ariel Diaz, 28, stole the sheep hides from a ranch after breaking out of an Argentinian maximum security prison a week ago.

And they have managed to evade the 300 cops on their trail - despite locals seeing them running through fields at night.

A farmworker at La Almeda said: "They were wearing grey clothes but had full sheepskins, including the sheeps' heads, over their heads and backs."

Police say spotting the pair among thousands of sheep is "almost impossible". But one warned: "They can't pull the wool over our eyes forever."

(h/t: Drudge)

Are the disguises for the purpose of eluding capture, or are these guys just looking to score some woolly, four-legged dates? Hey, they've been inside a while, so anything's possible. Gotta give them an "A" for creativity, though.

Counting sheep makes you sleepy.

Matty,
These days, just showing up to work makes me sleepy. And there aren't even any sheep at the office. Must be I need a day off.
