I read the news today, oh boy

So I'm reading along in the paper this morning, when I come to the vile headline : Bin Laden calls for long fight with West.
This was more like a throw down than a headline. I try to skirt the negative as much as I can, but I had to see what more Osama had to say. I read along.
And then I came to this description about ObL.

" The 49-year-old Saudi had beeen silent more than a year. " Forty-nine? Osama bin Ladin is 49? Doesn't he look older to you?

I may be the only person in the world who didn't know this, but it fulfilled my news nose for the day.

Osama was in Kindergarten when I was in Junior High. Little baby.
