    Evidently, suicide bombers are now willing to shove TNT up their ass in an effort to take out targets. Yeah, I know that's a crude way of saying it, but that's the reality. The bomber died, but his intended target, a Saudi Prince, lived.

    I heard about this last week on the radio, but thought it might be a hoax.

    I have some problems with constipation -- maybe this guy is a forerunner in the field of medifcal science for people with problems like mine.

    I guess they miscalculated the effect. Bummer...

    Edit: As an aside, has anyone else noticed that if you actually try to pronounce LKD's name, it sounds alot like Al-Qaeda? I'm just sayin'... :eek:

    Bummer indeed.

    It's an acronym, you goof! Maybe I should change it again.

    In any event, I don't think we'll see too many more ass bombers, as it didn't work.

    Well, it should be easy to spot someone running up with an assload of explosives. The walk has got to be pretty distinctive.

    "Turning his back on terror" is simply an awesome quote for this article.

    Evidently, it was voice-activated, by repeating a phrase twice. All I can envision is shoving the bomb up his ass, and the commander saying to the bomber: "Remember, the password to activate the bomb is __________." And then the suicide bomber repeating the password back, to make sure he was correct.

    He was certainly making an ass out of himself. :cool:

    Sorry, just saw a collection of David Caruso's oneliners in CSI: Miami.
