ZOOOOOM
After discovering the latest omen of the world’s coming demise, the Clog encourages Berkeley students to put down their books and enjoy their short-lived time on earth.

We thought this kind of thing only happened in movies (or TV shows) but apparently we were wrong. On Sunday, a prisoner in an Athenian jail escaped by helicopter … for the second time. The first breakout naturally involved a high-speed car chase. According to Reuters,

Vassilis Palaiokostas, 44, had escaped from the maximum security prison in 2006 in an operation involving helicopters and fast cars.
He was arrested again last summer for allegedly organizing the kidnap of an industrialist and was awaiting trial.

Well, we guess if you can break out once …
