Well, my kids are being poisoned by watching Spongebob Squarepants all day. I've been poisoned by talk radio. This actually might be a case of something travelling faster than light....stupidity.

This guy doesn't know that we actually targeted Arafat with the HAARP array? Ha ha!

Hey, according to the "Laser Concepts Therapy" clinic that I pass by on the way to work, lasers can cure most anything, so it just has to make sense that they could also be used to make someone sick too, right?

Mind you, this guard is overlooking the most obvious assassination method: direct telekinetic brain manipulation, as learned from the aliens at Area 51. Bloody amateur conspiracy theorists...

Poisoned by a kiss? Ah, the old poison in the wax lips trick. More likely it was AIDS, as he was known for buggering his more handsome bodyguards.

Thanks, ZZ -- I was sure Jeff Gannon must figure into this somehow. ;-)

That's a neat trick. I wonder if tinfoil would have stopped the laser from working...

If Israel really wanted Arafat dead, it would have done him in before he had a chance to hawk that despicable Oslo treaty.

Might have 'ole fishface' have been poisioned by a laser weilding shark?
