From CNN: [Italian Prime Minister] Berlusconi hurt in tripod attack!
Oh, wait: “Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi was slightly hurt on Friday when a tourist threw a camera tripod at him in a packed Rome square, the ANSA news agency reported.”
Never mind.
I don’t know … the heavy poison gas can come at any moment! They are here! Just waiting for the chance to strike! We’ll eb ready, what with our lack of stirility and aquaducts! You’ll see!!!
MEBruckner, and how do you know that tourist wasn’t from Mars? Hmm? Hmm? Suuuure the police gave the residence of the tourist as being in Italy, but, really, do you think they’d want to mocked for saying the tourist was from Mars? Hmm? 
This “tourist”, did he happen to shout, “Kenneth, what’s the frequency” or something similar?
Damn it!
They’ve killed Kenny!
With a 1920’s Style Death Ray! On a tripod! fnord!
I thought that Sr. Berlusconi had been taking Half Life 2 a little too seriously.
