    Saw this on the reg and must admit I laughed a little.

    Read it on the daily telegraph and it turns out that a belt can cause hundreds of deaths.

    Really?! Hundreads?.

    Even with the best kind of shrapnal, I doubt she would have been able to manage lets be generious and say 50. Probably wouldn't have even managed 20.

    Re: Text Message Blows Up Suicide Bomber by Accident

    Also, if humans reproduce roughly 1 female for every 1 male, and undoubtedly very few females die a virgin, then where's the 70 odd coming from?

    Math fail?

    Yeah, that is spinning the yarn a bit tight. Even a proper fragmentation grenade will struggle to kill 20, and that's if they were huddled around it.

    While virgins are all well and good from an ego point, nothing to base critisism on and all that but who really wants to sleep with someone who has no experiance, wouldnt make for much of an interesting week..

    Re: Text Message Blows Up Suicide Bomber by Accident

    I'm intrigued as to what the text message was. As far as my limited understanding of these things go, the phones they use are normally pay as you go "one use" sims so they can't be traced and the one time they're used is for the bomb.

    Which means that either the handler sent the text early (are they supposed to keep visual range to detonate for maximum impact?) or someone else sent it - could of course be a wrong number (odds aren't that bad) or an automated text from the provider. So while there is the large possibility that it was just a coincidence, there is also the possibility that someone in terrorist command screwed up.

    Also, why would you rig a phone to blow up on just any text message? Surely you'd want it to only go boom when your master sends you something - I don't see why this isn't the case, terrorists are canny folk (the people who make the bombs aren't idiots) and it wouldn't be hard (technologically) to do.

    The article says it was a new year's message, but I call shenanigans. That seems a bit too easy.

    And yeah, unless you were in a confined space and you could rely on the shock wave being reflected (or of course a vehicle), most of the damage will be absorbed by perhaps the first two "circles" of people around you. So hundreds is perhaps an overstatement..

    According to the article, probably just a Happy New Year greeting from the network.
