The Pentagon has just confirmed US strikes on Afghanistan have begun. Just thought I let you all know. I'm going back to the TV now.

Hey Craig,
Shouldn't that caption read "...Pissed Falcon"

Falcon?
I thought the Bald Eagle was the "patriotic bird" of the United States.
You can shoot a falcon and not spend 25 years in the can for it. Try shooting an eagle and see what happens. :-/

I was, of course, speaking as the consumate pragmatic.

The moniker for the F-16 chasing 'ole "Bin" is Fighting Falcon.

Didn't know that particular plane had a "nick". I thought it was just called an F-16.

Wonder if Bin Laden gave his tattered, cat pee stained flying carpet a nickname.

- a unix (or linux maybe) command to delete (remove) a file or the entire directory recursively. it's been many years since i've seen or had to muck with this type of command!

As noted above, it's a Unix command to remove a file. When given the -r switch, it's recursive, and when given the -f switch, it forces the action on all files.

Translation: it gets rid of EVERYTHING, all the way to the bottom of the directory tree.

The Taliban is most likely carrying broomsticks with a rag soaked in kerosene!

I hear the Taliban is toting CMG Infinity LEDs with them.

Wonder what color?

Probably yellow, so it doesn't clash with their camel **** soaked turbans. :)
