All of them would get knocked unconscious or tied up, but then the villain would delay finishing them off, giving the hero time to recover and escape. Dr. No, the Joker, the Red Skull, all belong on a "World's Dumbest Criminals" video show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-44332452095025479202011-09-01T15:02:53.726+01:002011-09-01T15:02:53.726+01:00Yup.

When they asked him how he knew it was a UFO he said, "Because it had 'UFO' written on the side of it."<br /><br />@ Kid; Now I'm going to have to plough through it again to find out which one was the "Omar" story.
