Arabia
King Fahd admitted to Saudi hospital
2005-05-27
Saudi Arabia's King Fahd has been admitted to hospital for medical tests, the official news agency SPA said.
"Hmmm... What's your diagnosis, doctor?"
"I think it might be rigor mortis!"
Saudi official sources said King Fahd had been running a fever and had water in his lungs which required hospitalisation.
"Then his temperature dropped abruptly, to approximately room temperature. It's been there all week."
"King Fahd entered King Faisal Specialist Hospital in Riyadh this evening to undergo an autopsy some medical examinations," SPA quoted a palace statement as saying. It gave no further details. "We ask God to keep and care for the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and grant him health and wellbeing," the statement said.
Come to think of it, you never used to see Zark and King Fahd together, did you?

Probably some root-rot, too. Those desert flowers are sensetive that way. Water sparingly, guys.
