#4 So Massoud Day is when people celebrate an assassination by running around shooting each other? I guess that makes sense.

#5 There is an entire contingent of humanity that doesn’t understand that bullets shot up in the air eventually come down, landing with the same velocity as when it left the gun. And since they are not usually under the bullet when it finally lands, Darwin doesn’t get to apply his magic.

#8 Saturday was the 16th anniversary of Massoud's assassination

As an aside, Massoud Day commemorates the September 9, 2001 assassination of Ahmad Shah Massoud. A law establishing the holiday on that date in the Afghan calendar was passed by the Afghan parliament in 2012. The reference to the 16th anniversary of 2001 suggeste this article dates to about Sept. 9, 2017. Tolo News is really dreadful about hiding the date of publication beyond “today” and “yesterday”, and they post a list of undated Related Stories in a sidebar next to the top story of the day. I posted a number of older stories in the same way when I was first getting used to Tolo News’ little quirks.
