Bin Laden may have just died

[Fuck]

There isn't anything on Google News yet. You'll hear about it all over the news tomorrow, I promise. I'll post a link as soon as I find one.

I hope so, but I have to take this with a tremendously huge grain of salt.

And you think this because?

[Fuck]

Is it so hard to believe that a guy known as "Fuck" is better informed than every news agency in the world?

The only link I could find is unfortunately in French. It comes from the Associated Press, the French branch I guess. Http://fr.news.yahoo.com/23092006/5/ousama-ben-laden-serait-mort-selon-l-est-republicain.html

Not on Fark, not on CNN, not on Agence Presse, not on BBC, not my computer thingee...not even on AP

Hm...perhaps this is where the story originated?

Would have died. Would. As in "could've" or "maybe" or "in all likliness if..."

It's from Babelfish, muthafucka. It's more likely that "someone" didn't pay attention to eleventh grade French.

Hmmm...you're were assuming that someone would pay attention to your byline after claiming that OBL was dead.

No, it's a mistranslation. "serait mort" can't be translated by "would have died" here. "most certainly dead" is a better translation.

Spaceboy, the "GB" thing made me laugh out loud. If I were in our friend George's shoes I would be pissed to learn that Osama died from a stupid food poisoning after five years of intensive hunting.
