h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Just read a couple articles on CNN about bin Laden being either dead or near-dead from illness.

While we can obviously not believe it without further proof, it occurred to me that this would be the most fortuitous way for bL to go. Were he executed under the premise of Justice, or greased on the battlefield [unlikely], or shot from ambush, he would be a martyr.

Dying from disease, for a potential martyr, carries the stigma of impurity....

There was a chicken with four legs in the news as well...We should capture Bin Laden and give him a videotaped field dental exam...

ObL is/was diabetic, yes?

I'm suspicious of all news in the six-week period before an election. Except for the 4-legged chicken, which I hope they call Baba Yaga.

Henrietta. I like Baba Yaga, though.

A 4-pack of drumsticks? Or a failed attempt at a gryphon?

I fix four legged turkeys at Thanksgiving every year. Of course I have to buy the extra legs.

I'm thinking a six-legged Thanksgiving turkey would be totally trick. With antennae.

A six legged turkey with antennae? No head, but antennae? Quite an awesome sight, I would say.

I would rather have a six-winged turkey for Thanksgiving.

Speaking of ObL, do all of those virgins have their own houses in heaven? And what happens to them afterward?

Actually we cook extra wings too, when we can find them. I think I'll see if we have any turkey legs and/or wings in the freezer to smoke this evening.
