#1 It's good that he's safe, except for the possible future damage to the gene pool.

#4 What the hell are Hezbollah doing patrolling the border anyway? Until and unless the Lebanese army takes control, the Israelis should declare a free-fire zone within 1000 metres of the border.

#5 I'm confused. Was the guy riding a parachute, or flying a hang glider? Can't be both.

"I'm confused. Was the guy riding a parachute, or flying a hang glider? Can't be both."

He was paragliding. Paragliders: part parachute, part glider! So. you see, it can be both!

#8 "In the wake of the incident, the United Nations Security Council issued an unprecedented condemnation of Hezbollah recent offensive activities." I hope Bolton was behind this and he squeezes harder.

#9 More exiting than your parachute being pushed near powerlines. I'm looking forward to the Hezbollah hang glider swarm/danceoff on the evening news.

#10 Bolton was indeed behind this.

I propose the UN be responsible for issuing Darwin Awards and this guy gets nominated.
