Droppin' the P-Bomb

So low, you can't get under it
So wide, you can't get around it
So high,
you can't get over it
--George Clinton

....And I thought George Clinton dropping the funk bomb was funny.

Thais Drop Peace Bombs On Muslims

BANGKOK, Thailand, Dec. 5, 2004

(CBS) Millions of folded paper cranes fluttered down from warplanes in the skies over southern Thailand Sunday as the air force completed a mission of peace aimed at expressing the nation's hope for an end to separatist violence in the Muslim-dominated region.

The gesture, however, failed to damp the unrest, with police saying they defused a 22-pound bomb Sunday on a crowded road where many people were waiting to gather the paper birds.

Encouraged by the government, Thais across the country — Cabinet ministers, office workers, schoolchildren and even convicts — have been busily folding the Japanese-style origami birds for the past two weeks.

Oh boy, I would have loved to be in the government office when they made this decision.
