Motorcycle helmets are no longer required in PA.

They blew up his motorcycle while his was riding it? That hurts just thinking about it. Oh well... It's his own bloody fault. If he hadn't decided to be a terrorist dirtbag, his balls wouldn't be in orbit right now.

An explosion destroyed a motorcycle in Gaza City early Sunday, killing a founder of

This guy should have listened to my mom...she always told me that motorcycles
are too dangerous.

Looks like a riceburner. Yamaha Fazer, perhaps?

Ah yes, the exploding motorcycle trick. Betcha didn't know it works with donkeys and camels too. Even wheelchairs on occasion.

If one tinkers a little with the fuel tank (adding nitromethane and nitroglycerol into it) the motorcycle engine is sure to blow up, and if it was a lot of these additives, then it will blow up real well, igniting and detonating the fuel tank. And no helicopters or anything else needed.

I wonder if he still gets the 72 virgins

He finds out "72 virgins" refers to a very small Star Trek convention.

When is Al-Sadr going to resemble a 'boston butt' left in the smoker too long?

Hamas charged that Israel was responsible for what it called a "dirty assassination crime."

as opposed to the clean assassination crimes Hamas carries out ... bye-bye to another Hamas terrorist ...

"Dirty assasination crime"


The execution of a two year old girl point blank in the back of a station wagon, "God is Great, Praise be to Allah's Holy Warriors"!


why any of these cretin's are still sucking air is beyond me...will somebody please tell me just one thing this world needs these scumbags for?

EVIL KNEVIL?

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Terror reigns from the sky.

That song by Steppenwolf always gives me shivers.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

I'd say it's one of the ultimate songs.

I dunno, sounds more like a "work accident" to me. Premature martyrization maybe?
