Oh N8.. Behave!

Edmonton, Alberta: September 11, 2002 A crudely disguised man wielding a Samurai sword burst into a Canadian Jehovah's Witness church and tried to rob 65 congregation members before he was foiled by someone who used his cell phone to alert police, authorities said on Wednesday. Police responded quickly and arrested the man after convincing him to drop the 65 centimeter (two foot) blade in the incident late Tuesday at a northeast Edmonton Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall, police spokesman Dean Parthenis said. The man was later identified as one of the world's most intriguing people: N8. No one knows much about the mysterious man known only as "N8," but he has been making world headlines over the past 6 months. In fact, this is his second appearance in Canada in the past week. Canadian officials are scrambling for an answer as to why N8 has come to their country. "He is clearly a disturbed individual and we want him out of our nation immediately," read the official statement from Ottawa after the incident. Edmonton police officers at the scene also recovered a soup ladle and a medieval-style mace from the suspect -- apparently in his early 30s -- who was dressed in a trenchcoat, a mask fashioned out of banana peels, sunglasses, and rubber gloves. "I'm not sure if it was a meeting or a prayer ceremony taking place, but he just interrupted and made it quite clear he was looking for bank cards and earplugs, and he had that sword," Parthenis said. "Obviously he was quite intimidating and people inside there were quite shocked ... He yelled out 'BrrrRon! BrrrRon!' a few times during the act. We are still trying to decipher that." Ronatarian Party officials, who have been linked to N8, denied any link between their U.S. political party and the "world menace," as they called him. Quick thinking by the congregation member with the cellular phone allowed police in four cruisers to get to the hall and collar the man before he fled with any money, he said. N8 was charged with robbery, wearing a disguise with intent, possession of an offensive weapon, carrying a concealed weapon, stinkiness, and possession of a prohibited weapon. Surprisingly, N8 escaped the detention center within an hour and his whereabouts are, once again, unknown.
