In a world of computers, laptops and smart phones, there's still at least one realm in which penmanship counts: bank robberies.
This was illustrated perfectly by what police say was a man's failed attempt to rob a bank in Wheeling, W.Va. WTOV reports that detectives said a "white, scruffy-looking man" handed a teller a note demanding money, but the teller couldn't tell what the note said. When she handed the would-be robber his note back, he got frustrated and walked out, authorities said.
The robber didn't get away with any cash, but police are still hoping to track him down with the help of video surveillance tape, which can be seen on WTOV.
Death and Taxes magazine offered a few takeaways from the debacle:
First, if your handwriting is crappy, make sure to type out super important notes. There’s nothing more embarrassing than trying to come off as intimidating and getting a quizzical look in return. Second, pretending not to understand what someone is saying (not that I’m accusing the teller of this) isn’t a bad way of dislodging yourself from a dangerous situation.

Did he not have a gun? Obviously robbing a bank with a note isn't going to work. Just handing someone a note saying "please give me money" shouldn't even count as a robbery.
Then again, robbing a bank armed with a lot of paper might work if you had superpowers.

if that's true, i wonder how they even knew that he was trying to rob them...
wouldn't it just be like, weirdo comes into a bank, hands teller the note, teller can't read it and tells him to gtfo, he gtfo's and that's the end of it, and no one at the bank would be none the wiser? XD

Anyway, my anime preferences are cyberpunk, horror and supernatural based, but i'm also a typical 90's kid who grew up on Akira, Bebop, Ghosts in Shells, Gundam Wing, DBZ and most anime shown on Toonami and Adult Swim. I enjoy a generous amount of anime outside of those years so take me as open minded in terms of anime discussion.
