Hey - the class was a blast - really explosive content, came with a great primer, and it ended with a bang! Any terrorist or moocher that wants to "spread out" their influence should pull the trigger on taking this dynamite course...
There is that....I suppose it might be a bit difficult to determine who passed who.
Have to say that it must have been the sort of "chemistry class" most of us dreamed of when we were of a certain age. And I would assume that every college chem lab has a few stories. I know of one, though it didn't involve explosives.
Never have I lacked humanity. What do you think the outcome would have been if all 22 of these vermin had successfully carried out bombings in public areas? I think this was justice served on a silver platter in favor of humanity.
Sorry, I guess the irony didn't come through in my comment. You lack humanity *in the opinion of the twits at Pharyngula*. Browse the site and I think you'll get the idea where I'm coming from.
I was thrilled when I read it. I guess allah wasn't with them on this one. (They always talk the smack when things go well for them--right back at 'em!)
This is a friggin riot!!!! Thanks for the post. I bet jeff Dunham could have a field day with it..Achmed Lives!!!! I KullYu!!! er, I mean lived.... oh well, time for a new puppet anyways. Maybe he can do something with the virgin angle....
Complete change of subject: perhaps we have an object lesson here in the fact that there is no good or bad technology. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I live in a mining area. A few times a week, a very large amount of explosives is touched off (in one case, over 100 tons in a single blast) and does more work in a few seconds than 100 men with picks and shovels could in a lifetime. In the hands of capable technicians working for a constructive purpose, explosives are an invaluable tool. In the hands of a fanatic with some twisted agenda, the end result is bloody body parts flying around.
and Neil Smith still gets grief every now and then because in his alternate universe, clean nuclear bombs are used in construction. gotta wonder about today's logic classes. <joke>
I knew someone who worked at the visitor center while Korczak Ziolkowski was working on the Crazy Horse monument. Part of her job was to take lunch up to "the guys", which involved riding up on a cable sling/breeches buoy sort of arrangement--an adventure in itself. The first time she made the trip, Korczak came over to her with fused dynamite sticking out of every pocket and asked her name. "Sharon", she replied. "Well, come on, Sharon--let's go blow up the goddam visitor center".
Apparently he did the same thing to every newcomer.
I went to Crazy Horse years ago on a cross country road trip. I believe it is the absolute best monument there is in any country. It is absolutely gorgeous and you have to respect the men that made it happen.
I would think that one of the hallmarks of a competent "bomb making instructor" would be that he was still alive and possessed all of his appendages. But perhaps one must add "so far" to that.
I live in a mining area and know a guy who works for the blasting company (which has to be a great stress release--when they set off a good one, we have a small-scale earthquake!). He has a t-shirt which reads: "I am a blasting technician. If you see me running--catch up!"
Too rich! Perhaps a quote they might have understood... "Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword." (Matthew 26:52, King James Version)
Terrorists aren't the sole holders of the "stupid award." I remember watching a YouTube video of a policeman demonstrating how dangerous guns are to a class of schools kids and shot himself in the foot in class!

- Achmed, the Dead Terrorist.
He now also has a son, Achmed Jr. YouTube has the full skits. You'll bust a gut. 8-)
Yes it would have been more appropriate to snicker:-)
What was the last thing that went through the instructors mind when the vest blew up?
Yes, according to most of the commenters at http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2.... You lack humanity.
:-)
Bit harsh maybe?
You need WHAT?!
924 virgins?! Right now???!
Please hold while I check our inventory..."
