Is he dead or alive? The best guess is he's mostly dead and partially alive
Are they going to bury him even if he's not dead? It sure looks that way He might need a little push...
Did Arafat's wife poison him to speed collecting on his multi-billion dollar estate? Just speculation at this point. He was getting better when he first got to Paris, then he took a sudden turn for the worse. One thing all sides agree on is that they hate the wife.

I was talking with a Palestinian coworker this afternoon. He’s been a US citizen for about 15 years, but most of his family is still scattered across the mideast. He is a rather argumentative type, and quite opinionated (to put it mildly). But he admits as much, and blames it on his Palestinian genes and upbringing.
When the subject of ole fish lips came up today, he had an insightful comment. He said, “See why there is no hope for an Israeli/Palestinian peace agreement? Palestinians can never agree on anything. Anything! They have been arguing with themselves for a week now over whether a guy is dead or not!”

Could it get any worse? YES. Not just brain dead but liver dead and spleen dead too.

They will bury arafish after he's been revived and then allowed to die again.
Are all of those arguing over the money wearing bullet proof equipment? I expect there will be bullets richocheting pretty soon.
It would be nice to hear the money will be left mouldering in their accounts because no one knows exactly where they are located.

I'm aware that the following comment is off point but I thought this was important.
A couple of hours ago Bill O'reilly made the following comment on his show: "If this kind of chaos is still going on a year from now, done, the American people won't sit for it."
Terrorists in Iraq heard..."If we can continue to create chaos the Americans will quit in one year."
Bill O'reilly and other "journalists" need to realize that our country is at war and that their poorly chosen words will likely result in the needless deaths of American soldiers and others.
I have begun to wonder where the loyalties of news personalities lie.
Anyway, I hope you'll join me in emailing Mr Oreilly and others who fail to think before they speak.
Apologies Aaron, I came up with that on my own without even seeing your blog. Nice job on the photoshop, though, that's pretty brilliant, what we need to do is come up with a flash movie or at least a script inserting "arafat" for "parrot" (note the similarities in name pronunciation).

Billy Crystal pushed on Ara... (Below threshold)1. Posted by andre3000 | November 10, 2004 4:57 PM | Score: 0 (0 votes cast)
Billy Crystal pushed on Arafats chest and the death rale sounded like "To Blave".
Any guess what "To Blave" meant? And should Billy bring him back to life? And is Suha Arafat really Michael Jackson's former wife/baby momma?

Shit! I've solved it.
Suha Arafat is really Linda Tripp.
If you doubt me, has anyone seen them in the same room together at the same time? Didn't think so.

If his brain is functioning partially now, its no wonder they're confused over there.

A little more python
He's dead.
No he isn't
When I brought him home, I discovered that he had been nailed down.
If he hadn't been nailed down he would have muscled up them bars and flown off.
He can't muscle bars he's bloody dead!
No, he's pining for the fjords!
Pining for the fjords?
