Age ain't nothing but a number!
Two elderly friends in Germany snuck out of their nursing home at the weekend to attend a heavy metal festival.
Staff at the retirement facility in Dithmarschen in the north of the country panicked when they couldn't find the men.
According to broadcaster Norddeutscher Rundfunk, police discovered them "disoriented and dazed" at around 3am on Saturday at Wacken Open Air .
The four-day event, which is touted as the biggest metal festival in the world, takes place near Hamburg.
It's believed the men completed the 40 kilometre journey by hitchiking and then taking public transport.

The ageing rockers were reportedly reluctant to leave Wacken Open Air so officers escorted them back to the nursing home in a patrol car.
Police spokeswoman Merle Neufeld said: "They obviously liked the metal festival."
The festival, now in its 29th year, saw 75,000 metal lovers converge on the grounds to see Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Judas Priest, Hatebreed, In Flames and Running Wild perform.
