The world's greatest pay-per-view opportunity!

I eventually found this article about Uday's rather brutal motivational techniques, but no wood (or plastic) chipper.

I'd rather be ground in a wood chipper than go through what that poor boxer did.

Saddam's Death To Be Videotaped



Obviously, these fools have no idea what a cash cow this would be! They should call Don King in to handle it, they'd make $$$billions$$$!!!

No, Don King would make billions and the Iraqis would be lucky to get a few shekels in this deal ....

What is the over/under on how long it takes this to show up on YouTube?

4) That thing where each arm and leg is attached to a different horse and they gallop in different directions

Drawn and quartered.

Even though there is a horse tied to each arm and leg, one of them (presumably one of the legs) would remain attached to the torso.

I can see that timing it and training the horses to gallop away at full speed, such that the torso is left cleanly in the center of the towne square, is probably a lost art.

"Dude, 3 inches from ground zero. That's awesome!"

It occurs to me there would be two measurements -- deviation of a standard center point (center of gravity, perhaps near the navel) from the at rest point, and rotation of the torso in degrees. Actually, there'd be the roll angular displacement of the torso, too, as well as a "tidiness" factor for folding of the torso.

3" deviation

17 Degree rotation clockwise

Video shows a 274 Degree roll rotation "Oooh, Bill, that's not gonna please the judges. Tsk."

And a midpoint flop, but it straigtened out before landing.

9.5 8.7 6.6 9.8, for a total of 34.6, putting him solidly in 17th place. Oh, Bode.

Drawn and quartered.

Sorry, that's not being drawn and quartered, this is being (hanged) drawn and quartered.

Budweiser.

Okay...I hate America too....you've convinced me through the use of undeniable, empirical, and objective evidence of the true evil of this country!

BTW: Budweiser beer is proof that focus groups and tinkering to improve "drinkability" do not a superior beer make! Indeed, it's more proof that corporations are evil!
