Re: So You Heard Osama Bin Laden Was Killed... (Poll)
Turned on computer this morning, logged in and checked SDN, which is how I found out. Haven't opened the TV yet, though I did check Salon.com as I usually do.

The moment I read it, late last night (and I immediately followed up) it was a Facebook status update from a high school acquaintance who is now a Democratic party activist (and so has interesting updates, generally).

This is the guy they want to use to win over "young people?" Are they completely daft? I'd rather vote for a pile of shit than a Jesus freak social regressive.
Here's hoping that his political career goes down in flames and, hopefully, a hilarious gay sex scandal. -Tanasinn

Facebook, a comment from a classmate of mine who is a former USMC sergeant:
"WE FINALLY BAGGED THAT FUCKER!"
"WE FINALLY BAGGED THAT FUCKER!"
Baltar: "I don't want to miss a moment of the last Battlestar's destruction!"
Centurion: "Sir, I really think you should look at the other Battlestar."
Baltar: "What are you babbling about other...it's impossible!"
Centurion: "No. It is a Battlestar."
Corrax Entry 7:17: So you walk eternally through the shadow realms, standing against evil where all others falter. May your thirst for retribution never quench, may the blood on your sword never dry, and may we never need you again.

This is pre-WWII. You can sort of tell from the sketch style, from thee way it refers to Japan (Japan in the 1950s was still rebuilding from WWII), the spelling of Tokyo, lots of details. Nothing obvious... except that the upper right hand corner of the page reads "November 1931." --- Simon_Jester

Re: So You Heard Osama Bin Laden Was Killed... (Poll)
Hmm...I saw the notice of an Obama presser on MSNBC.com and immediately predicted what it'd be. I first saw the actual announcement on ABC and then flipped to Brian Williams on MSNBC for the rest of it.
For the record, MSNBC and NBC were simulcasting the NBC Special Report with Brian Williams.

At dinner with a group of friends, one of them gets phone call. Call went like this. "Hello?--- What the fuck dude, we're eating dinner, how dare you interr...--- What do you mean? No shit! Hey guys, we got him! We got bin Laden!" Everyone at the table busts out phones, in fact, everyone in our section of the restaurant busts out phones.

My wife told me about it, then I turned on the TV and put it on the Canadian newsfeed channel to see what they were saying.
I just took a look at my facebook feed and there's only one mention of the kill, it was from a buddy who lives in NYC.

Heard about it here, went to abc.net.au to confirm, then I went to the White House website for the pending announcement by Obama. So I suppose this means 'other'.

Actually I was calling my doctor for a prescription refill. Upon giving my address (in DC) they told me "Wow - bet there's a lot of celebrations there!" That was the first I heard of it .
