TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese police have arrested a 20-year-old man who attacked and robbed two people after they stared at his Winnie-the-Pooh costume, officials said on Tuesday.
Masayuki Ishikawa was hanging out on a Tokyo street corner after midnight last month while wearing the cuddly costume, accompanied by two friends dressed as a mouse and a panther, when he took offence at being stared at, police said.
"It's uncommon to see people dressed up like this, so the victims were watching them. Then the perpetrator came up and said 'What are you staring at?'" a police spokesman said.
Ishikawa and his friends beat up the two victims and stole $160 from them, the spokesman said, adding the group had apparently donned the unusual garb because they had run out of clean clothes.

It is starting to look more and more like we read the same news stories as they roll off the press. Great minds think alike.
Shinigami Kayo....
They do say that clothes make the man. Make the man wacky.
As for the "My clothes were in the wash" excuse, that is just what the raccoon that was humping my leg on the bus the other day said too. He took forever to finish.
