Looks like some arab looking guy blew himself up in downtown Stockholm tonight. The dumb bugger apparently did not know how to do wire his explosives, so he only succeeded in setting off one of six pipe bombs strapped to his body, and only succeeded in killing himself.
Second wanna-be terrorist that actually managed to set off a bomb over here this year. Last one succeeded in hurting himself (and nobody else) while unsuccessfully trying to blow up a public toilet in Copenhagen back in September.
Oh well, here is to continued back luck for our enemies. May their underwear continue to just burn their privates, and their bombs continue to only hurt themselves.

I like to think of that as Mother Nature cleansing the gene pool.

The danger are the few smart criminals and terrorists. Rare, but it happens every once in awhile.

The smart ones are the ones who say, "Here, strap this on and go martyr yourself for Allah." But apparently none of their followers ever ask why they don't martyr themselves for Allah. But then, we already excluded the followers from the smart group.

Ralph there were a few innocent shoppers hurt, not life threatening, but still, hurt, not to mention the mental scars....
Can we go back to model railroading now, Big blue is one of the rare places we can escape reality , or at least view it as we choose it! :-)

All the above, is clear proof that evolution, is the natural operative.
The species, Homo Sapien, is going extinct, and being replaced by the new dominant species Homo Stupidicus.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!

I very much hope that events like these don't succeed in killing innocent people. But, we certainly can't count on that. Thankfully, there are numerous military, law enforcement, and "initialed" gov't agencies, as well as observant citizens who are always working to find, squash, or foil these attempts.

The smarter ones are the ones you don't hear about. Those are the ones that get that "What the hell was I thinking." moment just before they press the button, and just go home.
