    And seeing as the OTB Caption Contest is to make people laugh, I feel the need to pass this totally off topic post along:

    @OzarkHillbilly: Especially this part.

    The gunshot badly mangled Malespini’s finger, but didn’t remove the ring, police said.

    It’s not a question of where it grips it, it’s a simple question of weight ratios. A five-pound rocket is NOT going to carry a 50-pound rock!

    @PJ:

    Do we know that is true? Reuters’ photos have been shown to have been manipulated, staged or otherwise not what they represent before?

    Are their civilian populations within the impact zone of the rocket should it fail to fly to its intended target?
