A "Black Widow" suicide bomber planned a terrorist attack in central
Moscow on New Year's Eve but was killed when an unexpected text
message set off her bomb too early, according to Russian security
sources.

The unnamed woman, who is thought to be part of the same group that
struck Moscow's Domodedovo airport on Monday, intended to detonate a
suicide belt near Red Square on New Year's Eve in an attack that could
have killed hundreds.

Security sources believe a message from her mobile phone operator
wishing her a happy new year received just hours before the planned
attack triggered her suicide belt, killing her at a safe house.


Happy New Year! Boom!

Gotta love it.

Well.... I don't know how they would know that, but I don't care. If
I were doing that, someone would probably call me to wish me luck,
then *bang*.

Great story, and I will be repeating it all day!

Thanks -

Here's another:

"[POKHARA, Nepal] A retired Indian Gorkha soldier recently revisited those
glory days when he thwarted 40 robbers, killing three of them and injuring
eight others, with his khukuri [ceremonial knife] during a train journey."

http://www.myrepublica.com/portal/in...&news_id=27100

Evidently the reporter made a mistake in referring to the Ghurka as
"retired." From the looks of it, Ghurkas are like Marines - once a Ghurka,
always a Ghurka. There's no "retired" to it!

Woot! Taking on 40 guys with a knife. 40 armed guys. And he fought
them for 20 minutes. With a knife.

The guy is a real life Walker Texas Ranger without the bad haircut. I
would imagine that Bishnu Shrestha's tailor has one _hell_ of a time
getting the guy's pants to fit around those enormous balls!

I knew the Ghurkas have a fearsome reputation, and apparently it's
well deserved.
There's a video on YouTube showing a kukri in action which I couldn't
post in good conscience. Warning! It is not for the faint of heart.

What kind of crappy newsreader are you using? A simple click took me to
the site. Then again I suppose I shouldn't even ask, you know, with the
top posting fetish. Who knows what else is going on with that pc
............. Sigh.

He's hopeless. He 'knows' better and believes that top posting is
superior.

Only problem is that he's wrong and it's an automatic joke killer.
Many times a good joke requires a seamless reading of:
OP, reply and then a zinger.
His top posting newbishness makes that impossible without a lot of cut
and past editing.

I think jesus told him he was put on this good earth to irritate others,
so he top posts because he knows it's wrong. Luckily I'm well past the
irritation, I just shake my head and wonder. Now and then post
something about it.

Top posting is the norm on email, but presumably you know what's being
replied to - email is a one-to-one conversation (usually).

With usenet, however, many people can join the thread and bottom posting is
more agreeable.
