I remember when Komeni (sp) of Iran died years ago and the crowd was carrying his body to burial on a stretcher....and it rolled off.
[couldn't help but laugh]
First thought this morning was kind of hoping to see Arafat being carried and rolling off ....

Looks like Yassir is going to get the dignified funeral he so richly deserves (sarcasm). Looks like its going to be a bloody end to a bloody life.

Crowd apparently overran barriers and filtered into the plaza area when the helicopter is supposed to land.
Area was supposed to stay open so dignitaries could come in, but the crowd has made it impossible for the dignitaries to come into the plaza.
News-readers are saying the Pali/Israeli officials are apprehensive that the crowd might try to take the coffin and carry it to Jerusalem for burial rather than to Arafat's compound where a grave has been prepared.
Madeline Albright just showed up on CNN. [It's too early in the morning to have to see or listen to her.] But I digress.....
Pali crowd are yelling and calling Arafat a martyr [even though he died in a hospital].
Copter coming into view now.

ok going a long way for this one... back when khomeni had his funeral...and got dumped out of his coffin...
David Letterman had his prop guys make one of those little games like kids have... mazes with a little bb inside etc... anyway, he made a "put the ayatollah back in the coffin" game. complete with mourners, coffin and ayatollah (little plastic sillouettes)
