debris4spikeAs I was driving to see DJ this morning the news came on and there was a report about 2 men who were on trial in The USA for plotting to assassinate Senator Obama.
What stunned me is the fact that the reporter implied that if you behaed someone they don't die!
Yes - the reporter said that they had had planned to kill 86 (? numbers) of people and to also be-head 27 others ... So, that must mean that be-heading doesn't actually kill someone ... I never realised that before!

What they probably meant is that the 2 planned to kill 86 people the good old fashioned way (whatever that is) and then kill 27 others by beheading for the shock value. Maybe.Never mind. I just found the article in the NY Times: Skinheads held over plot to kill ObamaRidiculous.
