Seung-Hui Cho, the shooter in the Virginia Tech rampage, had ‘Ishmael’ written on his arm. I find it curious the book about the gorrilla is named Ishmael.

http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/who_is_ismail_ax/

“There have been many reports that Cho Seung-Hui, the Virginia Tech psychopath and mass murderer, signed his suicide note: “Ismail Ax,” and that this slogan was scribbled on his arm in red ink prior to him snuffing out the lives of thirty-two innocent souls. The manifesto Cho mailed to NBC listed “Ismail Ax” as the madman’s alter ego. That package contained a picture of Cho wielding a hammer as if it were an axe...”

Ismail, more commonly transliterated, Ishmael, is considered the forefather of Islam. His name means “Muslim -one who submits.”

I wonder why the author chose this name for his gorilla.

False. Ishmael is the first son of Abraham and it translates to "God has hearkened" from the native Hebrew Yishma'el.

If this guy wasn't so dangerous, he'd be hilarious!

He's a parody of al “millions of degrees” Gore, all the hippie wackos left over and warmed over from the sixties, and the next possible chairman for VHMET!

It's like a script from SNL.

This is what happens to people when they believe anything al “Tommy Flannagan” Gore says.
