Heh

Sometimes being the kind of family-oriented blog that we are gets in the way of making the kinds of comments that stories like this are clearly asking for:

Security forces said they thwarted a suicide bomb attack with the arrest of Amal Juma'a... According to Palestinian sources, Juma'a is a hermaphrodite who also goes by the name of Ahmed, and planned a suicide-bomb attack in Tel Aviv on Monday.

On the other hand, maybe that's for the best. There are only so many jokes you can make about cross-dressing and suicide belts before you cross the line from "risque and mildly amusing" to "tasteless and not at all funny." I think that number is like 1.

UPDATE: I forgot to ask - if it would have succeeded, would its family have gotten $200 or $400 per month? Who would be in charge or working that out? Do you think they would've had the sense of humor to give $300 per month?
