KHOBAR, Saudi Arabia - Tens of American, European and other hostages were released Sunday and a gunman believed to be the lead Islamic militant holding them was arrested, a Saudi security official said, adding that two other gunmen were "in the process of being arrested."

We are the "Stotters" who make ourselves aware of the enemy who wishes to do us harm

Well, thank goodness it's safe. /sarcasm

ROFLMBO. I'm soooooooo sorry, but that was just plain funny, to me. I burst out laughing when I read your comment. :)

Isn't it though. She's probably just a nutcase.

According to my daughter in 5th grade who just finished a lesson on Native Americans, a broken arrow was a symbol of tribes at war.

She also said that Ben Franklin received a broken arrow in Philadelphia when the currency seal was unveiled. I'll have to check her on that one.

Fair warning on that last site I posted, you can stay lost in there. :)

[Velveeta]

LOL. JustPiper got me busting out with her Slurpee machine comment the other day, so I know what you mean.

LOL, the kids win again.

I had never planned on sending anyone a broken arrow, did
keep one for years in my sewing equipment, worked well for
turning the narrow cloth tie belts when sewing.

I sometimes wished that I didn't remember a bit of this and
that, instead of having picked one subject to learn about.

But I had more fun attempting to learn "all of it".

(Quick! What was Hitler's dog's name?)



OK, that was weird....as soon as I typed "Hitler", Sean Hannity on Fox News said the word Hitler. Is he watching me?? LOL

A broken arrow, I would think might mean something along the
lines of the Nam meaning.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are so many meanings for broken arrow...

Black knights in Nam used as a slang it for someone who was unfaith to his wife. (Rod Stewart song "who's going to bring me a broken arrow and who's going to bring me a bottle of wine")

N. Indians used it as a sign of Peace = can't shoot a broken arrow

Several movies titled broken arrow.

Nuclear accident = broken arrow

[Letitring]

empty quiver=nuclear theft.

[Letitring]

Well, well. This could prove to be interesting thing to have.

I ripped that off the media site for that movie they talked about up stream. John Travolt's broken arrow. In that media blurb they stated empty quiver equals STOLEN nuke.

[knak]

was just wondering, seen a lot of people talking about it the last few days and was wondering why it had come up, was it referred to in a recent threat or something?

[Letitring]

I don't know. Wait, yes I do.

It started with the talk about that missing weapon off the coast of Savannah, Ga.

I was at It's happening a minute ago and saw that they have found a message from this Aljernaan wacko on the EOM/Daleel Yahoo board. Now there are three of them and one is in arabic. Too strange. I wonder if this woman is EOM or Daleel. Not that I beleive either are really a threat but , you never know. Here's a link to the arabic post. arabic post by aljernaan
