What's more impressive, is that the experts believe it's the work of a single forger. Hollywood adaptation incoming?

It would be a terrible film. Ron Howard has some time on his hands now, he'd be ideal.

...Hey now, let's not judge the book by its as-yet-published cover. It could be a rollicking adventure of a lifetime, you know. Starring Jason Statham, of course. As the tough, no-nonsense Cockney investigator hired by the Sotheby's stunning leggy brunette director of operations (or whatever the position is called there).

As for the forger, it's got to be someone unexpected. Like.... uh, Shia LaBeouf.

IMO everyone should keep some sort of self defense tool in the car, these days there are too many crazies.

I would be cautious about what self-defense tools I would carry in my car. In some circumstances they could cause you more trouble than they could get you out of. Flash light, road flares, tire changing equipment, bucket and shovel. These are useful and justifiable tools that should be considered before putting your rifle and shotgun in the boot or concealing a butcher knife under the seat.

Screw drivers, wrenches and tire irons are the primary weapons of choice.
They are used for repairs and can be justified.

Plus with this stupid clown craze the cops can understand esp since some have approached people in cars at night.

"The Confederation Internationale de la Peche Sportive" is angling for a spot in 2020 Olympics for their represented sport. Critics argue it's too boring.

While it could just about be described as a sport (ie, having a governing body and being an event which exercises a muscle), there are too many variables which would make it unfair for one person to compete against another, as opposed to people competing against each other in a test of what they can do on their own with no outside variables.

...Talk about an inopportune timing:

"Venezuela MPs hit by power cut as they discuss electricity", source BBC.

....Lights first went off as Ramon Lobo, a pro-government lawmaker, defended the energy policies of President Nicolas Maduro, reports said.

Opposition MP Luis Florido quipped on Twitter: "The country's reality has hit them in the face."

Women sues KFC for $26,000,000 over overflowing bucket of chicken

Watch as this either:

1. Goes to the woman and she wins the full amount
2. Buries the woman in legal debt.

2. Buries the woman in legal debt.

Most likely 2

She might have ad a chance at $100,000 but $26million.

And Shame the US has no regulations with lawyers.

That's not all German men like to relieve themselves on, according to some internet sites.

The traffic behind him had to do a u-bend-turn, or something? Turned the road into a skid pan? I dunno, there's got to be a joke to match @LeMansAid's in there somewhere...
