"How are things in Glocca Mora?"
From "Finnian's Rainbow"

How are things in Tora Bora?
Is that little cave still hidden there?
Does it still shake when the Air Force bombs?
Planes from Kabul, the Uzbeks and Tajiks?
How are things in Tora Bora?
Are winterâs blizzards still intolârable there?
Does that she-goat with the twinklin' eye
Come a-smilin' by
And does she walk away,
Sad and dreamy thereâs no Osama there?
So I seek each hidden entrance
And each trail along the way,
And each she-goat that comes a-sighin'
al-Akhbar
How are things in Tora Bora
This fine day?

#2 Italy's leading news agency has denied reporting that al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden would attend Pope John Paul's funeral Friday after a story attributed to it circulated widely on the Internet.

I don't even see why this news agency is even bothering to engage in denial. The idea of Binny attending the pope's funeral is so far fetched that....well, never mind.
