:-)For my American friends, here is something to brighten up your day after having to struggle with your tax returns.:-)

Recently a guy in Paris nearly got away with stealing several
paintings from the Louvre. However, after planning the crime, breaking in,
evading security, getting out and escaping with the goods, he was
captured only two blocks away when his Ford Econoline van ran out of gas. When
asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious
error, he replied:
"I had no Monet to buy Degas to make de Van Gogh."
