#1 I hope this one will be as good as Khomeini's, where the crowd stormed the box and knocked him out of it. Coffin swarm!

#2 Palestinians prepare for Arafat funeral

hey...they're not the only ones. One problem, though. I can't decide between champagne or a cooler full of beer.

#5 Steve - Bolla makes a very nice sparkling wine (champagne), and they're Italian.

There are also good California and Australian champagnes.

Popping the top on a beer just isn't as satisfying as the celebratory popping of the cork on a champagne bottle. :-D

#6 Maybe they'll send the fish off in the traditional Toyota Corolla, sorta semi-viking style without the Nordic vaneer of civilization.

#7 "civil war scheduled right after the funeral"

Pal version of sitting shiva?

elarsen - Had a decent Herzog from Calif a few weeks ago, and an Aussie kosher wine, forget the name. Yarden and Gallil from Israel are supposed to be could. Avoid anything that says "Yayin Mevushal" (wine pasteurized at high temp for additional ritual purity)
