ExiledInIllinois Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Wow... The irony of the very first paragraph and how it mimics human events... You gotta have a sense of humor over this... If not you are just too "wound." GUWAHATI, India - An elephant named “Osama bin Laden” that has killed 27 people in northeast India, has been shot dead, triggering protests by conservationists who say forestry officials had probably shot the wrong animal. On another note did you know that Sen. Obama's middle name is Hussein? The panties surely get wadded... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachChuckDickerson Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 GOT HIM!!! 868814[/snapback] If it took these guys 2 years to hunt down a f-cking elephant that killed 27 people, it doesn't surprise me that the real Osama is still at large.

Are you sure it is the right elephant? You underestimate pachyderms... If it took these guys 2 years to hunt down a f-cking elephant that supposedly killed 27 people, it doesn't surprise me that the real Osama is still at large. This according to some conservationists... On another note... I don't think it is like hunting the elephant down in Central Park... Trying to find which elelphant was the rogue probably is like finding the real deal in the Bora Bora Mts.??? Elephants are smart pups... Probaby could teach the original Osama a thing or too about hiding in plain sight? Betcha, it is real tricky to find the real perp... Even know an elephant is huge... Again... How things like this mimic human stories. I just want to know if this "Osama" is the "Ace of Spades" in the deck? On the useless trivia front: What is the most dangerous animal in Africa? A hippo... Also a pachyderm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loadofmularkey Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 i opened this thread with great hope for the future but ended up feeling bitter disappointment at unfullfilled promise 868850[/snapback] 20 minutes after waking up today, and before turning on the television or seeing anything newsrelated, I went to TSW. I see this thread. Instantly my heart started racing. I dragged my mouse over the link and saw it led to msnbc.com so I instantly got my hopes up, figuring it was legit. In the three seconds it took for the link to open all I could think was "Amazing!! I can't believe it!!" as well as thinking of how ironic it was that we got bin Laden on a Sunday morning in December, just like Hussein. Then I saw a dead elephant. For those who clicked on the link after the first four or five of us, you obviously knew something was up and bin Laden wasn't dead. If you're in that category I can see how you might think it's not a big deal. At 9:46 this morning I was less than thrilled. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most interesting part, for me, is that I learned of Husseins capture via ESPN.com. I felt it only fitting i learned of OBLs capture/death on TBD. For a news junkie that I am, its still wierd to me I learned of Husseins capture on ESPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draconator Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Seeing that the villagers threw flowers on a dead elephant, makes me think that the group that holds candlelight vigils at the sight of killed Mountain Lions here in the Bay Area is on a plane as we speak.

Swift Sylvan Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I thought it was funny that they named an elephant Osama...and also the fact that the only reason this got attention was because they named the elephant Osama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
