#3 The Israelis should coat their guard fences with lard and advertise the fact, to keep the more devout suicide bombers away.

#5 "Moreover, this animal is considered to be dangerous by Islam and, according to the Muslim faith, a terrorist who touches a pig is not eligible for the 70 virgins in heaven.

Isreal is going Religious on their asses! Have every Detainee touch a pig! Forget that, arrest Arafish and make him touch a pig on TV!

#6 I hiked school back in 8th grade and was cutting through some fields when we were charged by about 50 pigs. As they got closer I got more 'concerned' and bolted so fast I made Carl Lewis look like Jerry Lewis.

I agree w/ Slumming - you don't want to be in that situation.

#7 In the old days the people at Aramco used to put bacon bits in everything - including ice cream (!!!) - to keep the Saudis from stealing the food supplies. For those with a desire to read how it was there circa 1947 - 1979, you can read from an online "book" by Larry Barnes. To find the bit about the bacon, just do Edit/Find/bacon - it's the first hit. Interesting reading beyond the sound bytes.

Note that the whole thing is in one page - and it's all text - once loaded, you can save it to your own machine. Barnes was a classic American of the post WW-II era, open, adventurous, and gentle to innocents... I wonder what he'd have to say about what's transpired in the following 25 years.

#8 Best of all, the terrorists may never know what hit them -- how likely is it that they're familiar with pigs?

Unless they teach the pigs to bark, which will be utterly confusing...

#9 We need to let the folks at Gitmo know that Major Zifel is the new questioner.

#10 Raj has it right. The only thing I forgot to mention is that pigs run fast as hell. He could have been in mucho trouble. I can see it now; a new market for attack pigs competing with the German shepards.

#11 Can't you hear the Paleos whinning and screaming about those"Barborious Joooos".Talk about asymetric warfare.
Arizona has Javilina(desert version of a wild pig)them bad boys is just plain mean.Any of you folks that have spent any length of time in Arizona know what critter I'm talking about.

#12 Hmmm.. Doesn't Australia have some kick-ass razorback boars? Sounds like an export item to me. Can you imagine their fear of not only touching a pig... but being gored and trampled by one.

#13 This raises a profound theological question requiring a fatwah -- "Is being consumed by pork forbidden?"

#14 I know of an available compound in Ramallah that only has one occupant remaining. Perhaps it could be used as a pig farm and holding area.

#15 snellenr,
ROTFLMAO!

That, my friend, is what we call laugh out loud funny. We should go to one of those whack-job islamist sites and 'Ask the Imam'! 'Dear Imam, my cousin Mohammed and my brother Muhammed, were both killed and devoured by walking porkchops on their way to become shaheed (sp?). Will they still get their virgins?'
