Solid Snake

|
 Being a slow news day, we have time for a quick laugh.Think Solid Snake hiding under a cardboard box is as ridiculous as Clark Kent's glasses? Well, think again. Some guy in a German prison managed to cut his sentence short thanks to a cardboard box. The 42-year-old Turkish citizen climbed into the cardboard box and mailed himself out of prison. By express courier no less. If they ever suspected that it moved, they probably thought "oh, it's just box." Once the courier passed through the gates, the inmate cut a hole in the tarp and made a run for it. The man is still at large, but is already forever part of the "Cardboard Box" entry in the Metal Gear Wiki. |

» I've been in a cardboard box before.
I dunno, but possibly before Metal Gears release in 1987. Konami stole my idea!

Mortician, I'm pretty sure Kupo was just being sarcastic, you didn't have to take it so seriously, literal much lol? I don't see anywhere that he claimed to be a genius either, and of course lots of people have hidden in boxes, hell people have probably been doing before the dawn of video games, it's almost common sense, no need to bring it up. :P

Okay, it is funny, but I'd wait until the guy gets caught before making jokes about it.

he has octocamo. If he doesn't move and keeps to the ground/against the wall when people are around, it'll be extremely hard to spot him.

1) This guy is epic. I don't know what he did to become an inmate, but that was smart thinking.
2) Wonder if he ever played MGS? :p
3) I'm waiting for Jack Thompson's response. It's coming.

» He must be pretty smart.
Have you ever picked up a box with someone in it? The weight distribution is waaaaaaay off. It becomes pretty obvious that whatever's in it isn't a "normal" item. So either: the box was small enough that any abnormal weight distribution was unnoticed or he put other objects in the box to balance it out. Either way, he must have thought these things through ahead of time.

» He has to go back
I think he forgot to take his brother with him.
That's why it didn't take him 26 episodes, unlike that other guy...
Oh, wait, wrong reference, you guys where talking about MGS...
