    Avoid shooting with a 12 gauge shotgun. Use a Canon instead.

    Canon 5D, Canon 7D, 50mm 1.4, 18-55mm, Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 VC, Sigma 70-200mm f2.8, 580EX Speedlight. Facebook

    I'm glad they finally got him, but I don't think it's going to 'automatically fix' the world's problems. Sure it's probably a good, symbolic thing, to further inflate the ego's of the Americans; but it's not going to fix things overnight. There is always going to be another successor, some other looney with radical ideas of the world and it's workings.

    As for Osama and his death, I wish they'd got him alive and questioned him, and then made him rot in jail. Death was too much of an easy way out.

    Those photos are a fake mashup. There is a BBC report showing the two images used to make the fake.
    No photo's of a dead OBL have been published.

    Regardless of who´s the one that was killed I like to point out some word of the so called Most Important Person in the World:

    "the world is a better place after he was killed"
    ? sorry Mr Obama, the world becomes a worse place when a man kills an other man, there cannot be another interpretation to that and the phrase shows we do not understand nothing and that we have not advanced a bit since the caveman ages...its hopeless of any improvement as mind kind.

    regards

    I think it's a better place without Osama Bin Laden.

    a truer word has never been said. for those who rejoyced his death and said karma finally caught up with him... I try to think of karma as a 2 way street....
    horrid and evil people like osama tend to bring out the mob mentality in people and we get to see everyones worst side. its a bit sad really. I dont think the death of anyone, no matter how bad they are is a reason to throw a party.

    *sigh*

    but the world is better for his absence...

    They say that DNA testing has been done to identify him, but is it just me or does DNA testing take up to 3 weeks for the cultures to ... well, culture??

    No. It takes time to replicate, if you only have a very small sample to work from. But if they had his whole body, there would be ample tissue to sample.

    Once the have a usable sample basic it only takes and hour or so for the machine to produce a matching chart (key marker tests, not a full DNA breakdown).

    Here in SA they DNA tested all of the prison population 3 or 4 year ago and cleared a backlog of unsolved cases.
    I know someone in Forensic Science who did a presentation on it.
