| Former Ugandan dictator Idi Amin out of coma |
| 2003-07-23 |
| Former Ugandan dictator Idi Amin has come out of a coma and his condition is improving, a source at a hospital in Red Sea city said on Wednesday. "He’s out of a coma and his condition is improving," the hospital source told AFP. Noooooooooooooooooo! However, he remains in the intensive care unit at King Faisal Specialist Hospital, one of Saudi Arabia’s top medical centres, the source said, giving no further details. Hospital officials refused to specify the exact cause of Idi Amin’s illness or provide details about his condition at the request of family members who have been living with him in Saudi Arabia in obscurity for more than 10 years. Idi Amin, a Muslim now in his eighties, was admitted to hospital on Friday. OK, we’re going to have to drive a stake through his heart, if we can find one. A heart, that is. Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni warned on Tuesday that Amin would face trial for his atrocities if he returned to his homeland alive. Try his corpse and execute it again, just to be sure. On Tuesday, one of his wives and a daughter joined him at his bedside after a flight from Kampala "facilitated" by the Ugandan government. |

| #8 Oh for F**** sake!, what's it going to take to get that vermin into the ground? For some reason I thought he'd snuffed it along with OddBod (http://www.sixtiescity.velnet.co.uk/carryon/CON038.jpg - guy at the back on the left, tell me he doesn't look like Uday!) and Qusay. Oh well, tomorrow is another day... CC - that is a *very* weird thought, yuk! |

| #3 CC - your idea just fired off a neural path not followed for years... If you recall that the fixed-wing guys say that helicopters don't actually fly, the Earth rejects them. well... Idi Amin did pass on, but Hell rejected him... |

| #2 My thinking is that Idi actually passed on but the recently departed souls of Odai and/or Qusai have taken up residence in the bloated carcass of Idi. |

| #1 Shoulda just taken him off the machines and buried him when he first went into the coma. It wouldn't have been half as cruel as what he did to any of his own people. |
