Quoth Panacea View PostThat time they didn't have a body. If you don't have a body, he ain't dead.
You know how the jihadists say being a martyr gets them 70 virgins in Heaven?

Apparently, that 'virgin' thing is like, the word 'virgin' is a homophone for something like fountains or spring... or eyes.

Apparently Letterman said that theologians had learned that there had been a mixup in the paperwork and that Osama had been greeted by 72 vegans.

I guess I'm personally a little skeptical over the whole thing. I remember back when Saddam Hussein was killed - his execution was bloody televised! Meanwhile, the man who is behind 9/11 gets allegedly killed and allegedly thrown into the ocean, where there is no visible proof that it was actually him that was killed. And of course, our wonderful president will not release photographic evidence of the man's death either.
I don't know, part of me is a bit iffy over how true this shit really is. Usually when we catch a terrorist leader, we make a huge fucking deal out of it. The coverage on Bin Laden's death seemed pretty light considering what he's done.
Basically, I'm hoping I'm wrong. And I'm hoping other terrorists don't decide to get cute in retaliation and wreck something else of ours. We can't bubble-wrap all the skyscrapers in the country, unfortunately.

Another theory states that this has already happened.

As for the burial at sea, there's a precedent (and yes, I know this is bringing Godwin's Law into play) - when the Soviets overran Berlin, they disposed of Hitler's body in an undisclosed location in order to avoid creating a place which diehards (and subsequently neo-Nazis) would revere as the tomb of their martyr.Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.

I forget who said it but somebody had a very funny thought.
"The Quran (spelling?) has a typographical error. Instead of 72 virgins, it should read 72 Virginians (spelling? again)."
Could you imagine 72 'good ol country boys' waiting to 'greet' Osama?Engaged to the amazing Marmalady. She is my Silver Dragon, shining as bright as the sun. I her Black Dragon (though good honestly), dark as night..fierce and strong.
