Miracle of the electronics age. Frank Sinatra is still making music videos, duets with whoever is still alive now.
You said -- "I'm baffled by the persistent claims around here that OBL died back in 2001. Come on, guys, OBL was making new videos as late as '04."
Well, with the situation being that some on FreeRepublic don't like the "facts" confusing them (about such things, as you mention) -- I've concluded that we've got just as many "crazies" here on FreeRepublic as the DUmmies have.

[Of course, they may actually be DUmmies, here, on FreeRepublic...]
