#1 Germans are good with grenades, Brits are good with grenades, so it's not the kick-ball afflication. Why can't Arabs throw? Is it the extra bone in their foot? If you can't throw it.. wear it? Deliver it by foot?

#2 "...guy who throws like a little girl"

If they could throw like the girls on my granddaughters' (6 yrs and 10 yrs) softball teams, there would have been casualties. Nct PC, just fact. The girls' soccer teams would have scored a goal also. The quote should have referred to a "guy who throws like a Raider quarterback."

#3 Arch - after watching my Chargers finally whip someone's ass (the dreaded Raiders) I acknowledge my error. BTW - that was just a throwaway line. FYI my sister was a pitcher on the Bobby Sox team that won the national championship 3 yrs running, and she got a 3 sport scholarship to Missouri (Lindenwood), so I know good female throwers LOL

#4 'tis true that their aim seems to be crap, but the interesting thing to my mind is that these attacks seem really low-level (I'm sure they're not if you're being targetted!), that is, they seem really, well, cheesy, half-assed even.

What with the 'B' team on 'The Motorbike of Doom (tm)' (love it) 'light-injury squads', Hamas totally bottling it recently (amazing what an attack helicopter can do to focus the mind) and splodeydopes pre-detonating due to Israeli wizard-weapons perhaps the Israelis will get a bit more peace in 2004 eh?

Lord knows they deserve it.

#5 I think much of the blame lies with his manager, Sheik Gra-day Lit-el Hebroni. He should have pulled him earlier.

As a result, the Curse of the Ali Ba-Bam-Bino still haunts the Hamas Red Sox.

Guess the ol' enthusiasm just isn't there any more...
