#4 Is this a cunning plan or just the result of bad Chinese manufacturing? As they say, too much chinesium spoils the stew.

#6 Looks like the cell phone one isn't correct. An older photo of one is being circulated as part of the current attack.

#7 Beeper explosions, round 2: Multiple explosions during funeral of Hezbollah MP's son

Asharq Al-Awsat reported that "hundreds" were wounded in the second wave, many of them in their stomachs and hands.

...Following the explosions, Hezbollah terrorists in Syria have been instructed to turn off all of their communications devices, Arab media reported.

A Sky News reporter attending one of the funerals said that Hezbollah terrorists are now throwing away both their phones' and their communications devices' batteries.

Reports soon said that the second "wave" of explosions affected thousands of military communications devices, which exploded within minutes of each other across Lebanon. This system is an alternate system, used following Tuesday's explosions.

#19 UN rights chief calls for investigation into Middle East pager explosions
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk on Wednesday called for an independent investigation into the events surrounding exploding pagers that killed at least 12 people in Syria and Lebanon.

The simultaneous targeting of thousands of individuals, without knowing who held the devices or their location violated international human rights law and possibly international humanitarian law, Turk said in a statement.

#40 Go ryuge!

I think my favourite so far is

Israeli Chief of Staff on Lebanon attacks: "We still have many capabilities,at every stage we operate we are already 2 stages ahead. At every stage the price in Hezbollah should be high.We will make it so that terrorists will be afraid of going to the toilet & even eating food."

Though all the rest are wonderful, too.

#41 "We will make it so that terrorists will be afraid of going to the toilet & even eating food."

I eagerly look forward to the first exploding toilet story.

As Mahmood sat down to poo,
He heard a curious sound in the loo.
"Whatever's that ticking?"
"Them Juice they be tricking?"
Then his carcass kaboomed up the flue.
