Yeah, well, exchanges like that help to identify those with whom future correspondence is not necessary. There are many of those around here.

Have a lovely day.

"Rampant frenzied speculation isn't my style ... and, as usual, once the dust clears, I'm usually right.
What follows below makes my point."

You point to a post which is heresay and built your hearsay on that. Of course you were both correct but the point is both posts were speculative!

I agree, "Homicide Bomber" just sounds painfully stupid. I think everyone in the room loses an IQ point each time it is said.

"Good thing Canada no longer supports the US in Iraq, or they'd have been REALLY mad."

Too bad 1/2 of our countrymen don't get the point you just made. Same for most of the rest of the West, but their catching on quickly. Too bad it has to be such a costly lesson in terms of lives to get your point.

Let me see.

An illegal alien from Mexico? A visitor from Mars?

A Norweigan perhaps? Or maybe just a Nepalese with nothing else to do.

We KNOW it couldn't have been a Muslim. Islam is the Religion of Peace.

Ask any of the capons in Washington - they'll tell you.

Maybe a silly question, but why would someone intending to blow himself up bother to go to the bathroom?

Evidently, he was Canadian. Canadians are too polite to mess up other people with their sh**.

Gasoline in a washroom, at the appropriate vapor concentration, could create a heckuva flash fire. I think it's highly unlikely that it would create an explosion, though.

Natural gas will actually explode -- we investigated an arson case one time where a fellow disconnected the gas line and let the house fill up with gas. When the gas reached the pilot light on the stove, the whole place went up in an explosion so powerful that it blew all the doors and window frames about 20 feet out into the yard.

But I never heard of that happening with a gasoline-fueled arson. Gasoline goes "WHOOOSH!" when it goes up. Natural gas goes "BOOM!"

my radio news said it was a gas leak and someone saw gas leaking and ran out of the shop, which I don't how you see something you smell??

Cindy, I just saw this post.

You could see gas leaking if it were hissing out of a loose meter connection - you wouldn't really "see" it - you would hear it and smell it, but I could "see" somebody using this phrase . . .

If it was indeed natural gas, this all may make more sense. If the guy in the washroom lit a cigarette, and the leak was at the hot water heater, there's your flame source.

Heresay? Hardly ... just sound deductive reasoning (on my part at least) bolstered by uncanny insight developed over a number of years as a participant in this forum.

Nothing happened here. These aren't the droids you're looking for. Move along...

Terrorism is specific description of the 'insurgents' in Iraq.

this doesn't fit the typical pattern of a homicide bomber

I'd bet he went into the washroom to arm the bomb and it went off accidentally.

Explosives do burn readily if they are not set off by a compression wave. I suspect this guy had a hot chile rellino dinner with refried beans the night before and dropped his ciggie in the throne below him while he was working it out:)
