Perfect set up for spontaneous combustion, especially if he parked the car awhile and it warmed up in the sun.

And after thinking on this a while it occurs to me... wtf are the local law enforcement going to do with approx 3000 kero soaked Korans that represent a huge fire hazard?

Is there even any way now to get rid of them safely without a controlled fire? Surely they'll end up incinerating them regardless... At least it won't be a spectacle.

IDK. That might be politically unwise, even if they did find some sort of muslim holy guy to OK it. Maybe put them in a coffin, say a few solemn words over the coffin, and bury them?

I'm really tired and thought that said "Koreans" not "Korans."

He's one of those people who thinks everyone llkilled that day was a WASP, isn't he?

Me too
Of course i also read it as "terry gilliam" and wondered when exactly there would be a punchline

And then I saw the "burning books" and was like "Oh shit it's that guy."

Oh good, it wasn't just me making that mistake. >_

Well, Terry Jones IS the name of one of the Pythons. Gave me a bad jolt when I saw the headline.

Fucking hell, i'm tired of this asshat and this attitude.

If there was ever a more ripe moment for a bolt of lightning from on high...someone was asleep at the switch.

Man, I must be tired, because my first thought was "Why the hell is a member of Monty Python doing something whacko like THAT?"
