Prohibitively High Rocket-Fuel Prices Bring Mideast Crisis To Standstill

August 7, 2006 |

....."I waited for two hours to fill up my Qassam-2 rocket yesterday, and I could only afford half a tank," said Hezbollah militant Amin Hammoud, who admitted to siphoning fuel from other rockets in his neighborhood. "Do you know how fast a Qassam-2 burns through half a tank of rocket fuel? Even if I launched it from An Naqurah, it still wouldn’t make the trip to Nahariyya...."



funny stuff.

I used to read it religiously 5 years ago. Now I just occasionally pick it up when I find it in print.

This article damn near made me spit my hot chocolate out a couple weekends ago.

The Onion been around a while and definitely is a force for good in the universe. One of my all-time favorites is what appeared after 9-11:

Among the highlights of Holocaust Hoedown '97: a Main Street parade featuring red, white and blue Texas blossoms spelling out "Don't Mess With The Jews"; a special appearance by six-time Zionist calf-roping champion Barry Lowenstein; and daily double-bill showings of Schindler's List and John Wayne's True Grit.
