#2 A lower level mullah studying for the IED 103 class, which would have qualified him on the Holy Landmine of Antioch.

#3 Hmmmm. Does this qualify fo a triple Darwin award? Good job, Mr Mullah.

#9 now wait a minute. It was very wrong for this Mullah and his AQ friends to kill the under 15 sons, who are minors after all and whom their dad is responsible for.

damn, Im a liberal.

#12 I think GK is on to something. If the Darwin Award is for retards who kill themselves in unique and intertaining ways, thereby raising the IQ of the human race as a whole and providing the rest of us with entertainment in the process, there should be a separate and more prestigious award for killing not only yourself but other retards as well. The floor is open for naming the new award, but even in the absence of a formal name, I'd like to nominate the AQ-in- Iraq management for the as yet unnamed award. By p*ssing off the Sunnis, they managed to just about get everyone in their outfit killed off.

#13 Appears cause of death was "tinkering"...

A militant mullah and two of his children were killed when a bomb he was making exploded prematurely at their Afghanistan home.Abdul Wasay was tinkering with the explosives at his home in Helmand province when they blew up, said a police spokesman. Wasay's wife and daughter were also seriously wounded.

Look soon for the new safety pamphlet from Mutual of Khandar, "So You're Going to Tinker With Explosives"...

#14 I'm beginning to believe that all mullahs study under an one-eyed one who's also colorblind and missing a left hand. One has to ask one's self how effective a teacher he'd be if he's already lost a hand and an eye. Yeah, accidents happen, but they happen much more frequently when you're following someone who's already proven he's inept.

#15 Its getting damned lonely these days Sea. Unless of course one agrees with all them talk radio fellahs that McCain and his supporters are really liberals, which Im increasingly tempted to do ;)

#16 this calls for chocolate...

#18 How about we put more defective initiators in the supply pipeline for AQ until the fight isn't about Pasthuns militants versus the Afghan government, but who's the unlucky sod who has to put the bomb together ( and get blown to bits).

#19 I'm more interested in the two "Others" hauled away before police got there.

No "Honest" reason for that,
plenty of "Dishonest" reasons, primarily to hide their ID.

Now my curiosity bump is humming madly, Hummmm.

How about "Darwin Squared" (D2)

#21 Damn I miss everything when did John F. become an Apostle?

Failed presidential candidate Kerry became an Apostle when Jesus gave him a magic hat. Records are unclear but it appears to have been about the time they went upriver together into Cambodia to search for Marlon Brando.

#24 #3, 12 & 20. How about the 'HMS Beagle Award' for cleansing the gene pool of more than one strain or generation of doofuses.
