Acting on a tip, soldiers from the U.S. Army's 1st Armored Division raided the Baghdad house of a former Saddam Hussein loyalist and seized items including two AK-47s, 11 bayonets, more than 550 rounds of ammunition, two protective masks, 31 protective mask canisters, three swords, two axes and documents, according to Central Command.

What kind of crazy, surreal world do we live in where swords and axes are reported as being found?

I want to see Saddam's +5 Vorpal Sword Of Maiming, dammit!

[rock]

14. And all I got is this +1 leather jacket

[donco6]

2. And whatdya do with the 31 mask CANISTERS?

Throw them at people? Fill them with flowers? Sheesh.

[trogdor]

17. The canisters have to be replaced from time to time.

Otherwise, they stop working.

You better be more careful next time around.

Wake me up when they find the flux capacitor.

[DarkPhenyx]

7. Ya know. If you cut someones heart out with a spoon...

it hurts more.

[geomon666]

12. That's because it's dull you twit!

;-)

[Walt Starr]

8. One of the three swords is a suspected +12 Hackmaster

This specific type of sword has been recently clasified as a weapon of mass confusion.

[Birthmark]

10. Best...Thread...Ever

Thanks, folks!!!

[Nobody]

13. The SCA can expect to be invaded soon

Especially right before a major Society for Creative Anachronism event. There will be lots of axes, swords, spears, claymores, maces, and people who know how to use them.

[Philosophy]

15. I just got a +24 Steely Vorpal Halberd in Progress Quest

http://progressquest.com/

Should I report it to UN inspectors?

[leftofthedial]

16. this may be the proof they were looking for

Note the total absence of nail clippers and box cutters.

The missing link?

[Hubert Flottz]

19. No Ginsue knives or Popeel Pocket Fisherman!

Saddam prolly still has those stashed in an undisclosed hardened bunker!

[babzilla]

20. bunkers? Saddam don't need no steenking bunkers

why dig a bunker when you've got rosebushes in the scientists yards?

[OldCurmudgeon]

21. get with the program!

don't you know that in the history of the world more people have been killed with swords and axes than ALL the causualties from biological, chemical (WWI) and nuclear (WWII) weapons?

Sheesh! If that's not "mass destruction", what is?

Now be a good little dittobot and tune in to your RushBrainWash indoctrination.

[Bake]

22. Maybe Weapons of Medieval Destruction ...
