Man Crashes Into FBI Building to Destroy 'Mind-Reading' Device
It seems James Kromer had it all figured out. He was gonna do it, once and for all. The FBI had been controlling his brain with a mind-reading device for far too long. Kromer had to put an end to it. And he almost did -- until he messed up the address.The 36-year-old Minnesotan crashed his car through what he believed to be the FBI building in Minneapolis. As it turns out, it was just the University of Minnesota Public Health building, which incurred $20,000 worth of damages from the incident. The entire case of mistaken location can be traced back to an extra zero that Kromer tacked on to the building number. (We're not sure whether it was GPS, or Google Maps, or what.) The real FBI building is at 111 Washington Ave. S in Minneapolis. The Public Health building, on the other hand, is at 1110 Washington Ave. S. Oops.
Sergeant Jesse Garcia told KSTP TV that Kromer "thought some computers were affecting his mind and was going to drive his truck into the building to destroy them." He also stated, "I think there might be some other mental health issues that come into play." Really? [From: KSTP TV, via: City Pages]

He actually had the address correct, but the FBI read his mind and knew what he planned on doing, so they packed up and moved to a new address.

I live in Minnesota and of course the FBI is reading our minds! Here we all communicate telepathically anyway so the FBI had to invent a machine because they can't. Good news is now the NASA found water on the moon Walmart is checking it our for their first moon location. Kind of used up places on earth and all the aliens can't wait!
