Prankster paints himself with missile colour
May 30th, 2012 - 10:33 pm ICT by IANSBrasilia, May 30 (IANS) A prankster in Brazil landed himself in deep trouble after the colour he painted his body with failed to come off — he realised then that the paint was one used for painting ballistic missiles and nuclear submarines.
Enrique dos Santos,35, a swimming pool attendant, was trying to look like superhero The Hulk, reported The Sun. As the comic book fan tried to scrub off the glossy green in the shower, the substance stained his skin.
He faced more embarrassment after local papers in Brazil reported that the woman, clicked while trying to help him in washing it off, was his girlfriend when in fact it was his middle-aged mother!
But the good news was that after being scrubbed for 24 hours by as many friends and neighbours as he could get hold of, the paint eventually came off.
