Bombshell!: Castro Dead

That’s what Uncle Jimbo at Blackfive is reporting.

He states with “near metaphysical certitude that Fidel Castro has assumed room temperature and over the past week he and his brother Raoul have determined that Chavez should rule”.

He says a huge celebration is being planned where this announcement will be made.

Says it’s either the “biggest scoop ever”….”or not”.

We will see.

Meanwhile, Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Perez says the rumors are untrue…Castro is doing “very well”.

Babalu Blog says Rosie O’Donnell is getting ready to sing.

Perez Hilton says an official announcement is on the way.

UPDATE:

Uncle Jimbo was joshing… he don’t know shit.

Perez Hilton is still insisting he’s dead.

Here’s Ace.

Flying Submarines

No, not sandwiches, silly.

Dark Roasted Blend says the U.S. Navy is getting ready to turn pulp fiction into reality.
Today, the “flying sub” concept is very much alive, and even being considered by such heavy-weights as Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works (developers of the U-2 and Blackbird spy planes). This article details plans for an airplane that “starts and ends its mission 150 feet underwater”

Very cool.

Packages With IED’s Being Delivered In Ontario

Canada Free Press reports that there have been three bomb deliveries in as many weeks, the last one larger and more deadly than the first two.

The package was sent to the residence of John Becker of Guelph, and was confirmed to “contain an explosive device, combustible material and projectiles that, upon opening, would have detonated and killed the person handling the package.”

The first two packages were reported to be approx. 8” x 11”, in bubble-wrapped envelopes with properly-addressed courier receipts attached. They contained a petroleum type fluid.

Members of the public are being asked to exercise caution with unexpected packages or envelopes and should contact police if they are suspicious of the contents.

Anyone with information that may assist Toronto police with their investigation is asked to contact 416-808-3638. Crime Stoppers can be reached—anonymously—by calling 416-222-TIPS,

Police Officials expect more to come.
