Welcome to the Dope, **Moeman**! Really nice entrance post! ---

> [@](#): > > So I’m not panicing by any means just wish I was back home. I think I’ll go and get a bit drunk before I fly It’s not panic if you are listening to some newsbot speculate about any of the dozen or so theoretical terror attacks someone heard a rumor about. It’s just pained bemusment. ---

I was reading _USA Today_’s story of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed’s capture over the weekend. My eyes bugged out when I read this: > [@](#): > > He spent a semester at…a, small Baptist-affiliated institution in **Murfreesboro** , then transferred to North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University… (_emphasis mine_) Note **Bosda** ’s location. Perhaps someone has some inside information they’d like to share with us? I’m just yanking chains, here folks, it’s Murfreesboro, NC where Mohammed was living. ---

I work and live in NYC (spelled T-A-R-G-E-T). We have stores here that sell gas masks, radiation suits, and parachutes (for jumping out of burning skyscrapers) all in a handy kit for around $1100 per person. I wouldn’t mind having a gas mask, a radiation suit, a gun, a knife, a first aid kit and a dirt bike handy just in case. But I ain’t panicking. I don’t have any of these things either, but that is mostly do to procrastination/finances. I consider them to be good ways to try to give yourself a chance. And duck tape is the bomb.
