Embarrassed officials were at a loss to explain how Jean-Pierre Treiber, 45, a double murder suspect, managed to elude detection in the box he had built himself at a workshop in the high security prison of Auxerre, Burgundy.

High security prison? Riiight...

You'd think stuff like this only happens in movies and videogames (MGS anyone?), but apparently cardboard boxes are indeed a valid disguise.

There was a thread a few months back, where somebody mailed himself out of prison in a large cardboard box.

Yeah, think that was in Germany. But they did it again! You'd think after it happening once, people would be on guard.

See, playing Metal Gear Solid actually teaches you something useful.

I wonder if the guards all got ! marks above their heads when the box moved?

I think the guards should be made to not have any more kids.

I wonder how many writers in Hollywood are working on a movie script right now. We should start a pool on the release date.
