can't watch six feet under, as was said, ALL GAY ALL THE TIME, I just can't watch, makes me wanna hurl! Literally.

Ditto for Bravo, even if the show on isn't showing some homosexual, the commercials do and are not stop. I really hate the feeling of nausea, it's not fun, so don't seek to feel that way.

Thoughts??

My first thought is along the lines of the old joke. Terrorist holds grenade in weak hand, pulls pin with strong hand, then throws pin. Standing there with grenade still in hand.

Honestly, my guess is it wasn't a grenade that was thrown.

"100 feet! Who threw it, Steve Saxokovich?"

I know this is a serious incident and we should all be thankful that our President wasn't killed or injured... but...

That might be the funniest post I've ever seen on here.

Might not be a bad guess.

In a situation like this, the rumor mill goes wild. Impossible to know what actually happened at this point.

ABC Report: Grenade thrown near President

GEORGIA - According to a report by ABC News, a grenade was thrown near a stage in the former Soviet republic of Georgia where President Bush was giving a speech.

According to the report, after President Bush left, the Secret Service was informed by Georgian authorities that during his speech, someone threw a device within 100 feet from the stage.

The device hit someone and fell to the ground, but did not go off. It was later determined that the device was a grenade. The Secret Service is investigating.

Correct. At 100 feet he might get pelted with a couple fragments, but generally no damage. Let's just say that the ballistic coefficient of a grenade fragment is very, very low.
