Posted by CmdrTaco on from the no-time-for-love-doctor-jones dept.

HotChk101 writes "Over 2000 production stills, plenty of sensitive paperwork including a complete production budget breakdown, possibly the script from Indiana Jones 4 and multiple computers were stolen from Steven Spielberg's Universal Studio office. The thief started contacting multiple entertainment websites including TMZ.com and offering the stolen goods for a sum of $2000.00."

      Steven Spielberg's office lies at the end long underground tunnel, protected by a series of trecherous and deadly booby traps. The thief narrowly escaped clutching the script, only to find himself lying on the Paramount studio lot surrounded by lawyers threateningly aiming pens at him.

      He had only gotten that far because he remembered that in Latin, "George Lucas" begins with an "I."

      I can't remember the rest of the joke, but you're mother's a whore.

      I'd mod this as Funny, but there's an egregious spelling error (you're instead of your). Nice try, though.

      One of these days, someone is going to come on /. and post an elaborate article proving that time travel is possible and giving exact specifications on how to build an actual working time travel machine. And on that day, half of the comments will be dedicated exclusively to criticizing his spelling and grammar.
