Accompanied the wife to the grocery store this morning.  Passing by the rags at one of the check out stands I saw this headline in inch high letters:

[b]Osama Launches Doomsday Bomb Into Orbit![/b]

Damn.  Just when I thought we were safe he goes and does something like this. [rolleyes]

Don't pay any attention to that.  I heard it was a record company stunt to promote the (i prefer it in the) backstreet boys.  See, that lance bass cat will "disarm" when the russians take him up, thus saving the world and all those young ladies in tank tops and flip-flops.

The headline is very misleading. As you can see from this photo I took near the launch site in Skratchmykrotchie (I was in the area on business), the missile got stuck in the silo and never made it to it's destination in "orbit".
