This article made me smile:

Two escaped convicts have dodged a huge manhunt – by disguising themselves as sheep.  The pair dressed in full sheepskin fleeces, complete with heads, to lie low among farm flocks.

Robbers Maximiliano Pereyra, 25, and Ariel Diaz, 28, stole the sheep hides from a ranch after breaking out of an Argentinian maximum security prison a week ago.

And they have managed to evade the 300 cops on their trail – despite locals seeing them running through fields at night.

A farmworker at La Almeda said: “They were wearing grey clothes but had full sheepskins, including the sheeps’ heads, over their heads and backs.”

Police say spotting the pair among thousands of sheep is “almost impossible”. But one warned: “They can’t pull the wool over our eyes forever.”

It also reminded me of one of my favorite Monty Python sketches (And, no, it’s not a favorite just because Carol Cleveland has a role as the lovely Miss Garter-Oil.):
