'Iran says it will send monkey into space this summer'

[keale]

Yes, but many a true word is spoken in jest. Remember that the crescent moon appears on lots of Islam flags as does a star. I wonder which one will become the first theocratic star?

We can call it the Banana Republic

Well, I have some plans....


I'm going to need a lot more than just one, though.

Relax. You don't need many at all if you explode them high enough. Think EMP pulse.

Sure, if you want to cause a nuclear winter, you'll need enough to blanket the earth in a dust cloud. But you don't need any nuclear winter. You need only stick a monkey wrench in the system. And the system runs on electricity and electronics.

Why don't they send an Ayatollah into space? They are more numerous and probably less expensive.

Why doesn't the head Ayahtollah live in space? His palacial space station could be placed in geosynchronous orbit above Iran. He could gaze beatifically down upon his small, hostile empire, as he makes all his nowhere plans for nobody. A position from which he could also clearly see his primary prospective victim, Israel.

It is fitting that the Grand Ayahtollah should have a bird's-eye view of the planet he aches to ravage.

Not to worry about the vulnerability of the lofty perch. As a sovereign head of state, he would be legally immune to attack. It says so right there in the Geneva conventions, or the UN charter, or somewhere.

And a lot less cute too.
