#1 Hail and farewell, Super Mario. Though you caused needless deaths and miseries among your own people and among your enemies, we must acknowlege your leadership and military skills, which were formidable. Too bad you chose to use them in service to an impossible dream.

On your headstone I would chisel: "If only."

DNA test confirmed the body of Sri Lanka rebel leader

Although the rebel spokesman has denied the government's claim, saying on a pro-rebel website that Prabhakaran, is "alive and safe", the DNA tests have proved that the body recovered belongs to the LTTE chief Velupillai Prabhakaran, the Army said.

#10 The body was blackened and beyond facial/physical recognition.

Rubbish! This link shows a nice video of Mario sporting a brand new third eye in his forehead and he doesn't appear to be even singed.
