Professor claims he has found Bin Laden

Using patterns of how animal species spread, the world's most wanted terrorist can be tracked down to a town in the tribal region of North West Pakistan it is claimed.

By factoring in his need for security, electricity, high ceilings to accommodate his 6ft 4in frame and spare rooms for his bodyguards, the search can be further narrowed to three walled compounds.

According to a team led by Thomas Gillespie, at the University of California in Los Angeles, bin Laden's location is "one of the most important political questions of our time".

Mathematical models used to explain how animal species spread out say he should be close to where he was last spotted.

It's too bad that he had to go and blab this instead of taking it to the feds instead. I have to admit, capturing Bin Laden less than a month after Obama had taken office would have pretty much fucked the Republicans over.

1. Plenty of tall people live in places without high ceilings

Did he also factor in the need for a dialysis machine?

3. He factored in quite a lot of things.

I think this method has some merit especially if they can get any intel to go with it. I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand.

2. Gilligan is keeping watch.

4. OBL is dead.

Has been for many years. Wonder if Obama will finally come clean with this now that he's POTUS?

7. the sooner the better

you know it, I know it and so does Mr. POTUS.

:dem: :kick:

15. End stage renal failure

My guess is that he's been in the dirt for several years now at least.

5. This guy's been watching "Numb3rs" too much.

Do spreading animal species get aid and transportation from Pakistan's ISI too?

6. Oh for fucks sakes. Osama bin Laden has been dead for years. Leave it to the Torygraph to keep

pushing this kind of bullshit.

They're desperate to keep the bogeyman alive to scare people. :eyes:

9. Oh is this the right-wing tabloid one?

I thought it had a different name. My apologies for posting.

[scarletwoman]

10. The Telegraph is UK's right wing mouthpiece.

They come up with all kinds of bullshit. Lots of us have been following their disinfo campaigns for years.

8. This is so stupid that I cringed when I saw the jackass was from

UCLA and used "wildlife models" to find OBL. Sheeessh. Slimes the UCs and slams wildlife science too.

IMO OBL has been dead for years and all or most of the tapes are fake.

This is worse than Powell's presentation of "intelligence" at the UN prior to the invasion.

11. Big deal John McCain knew how to get

him months ago.

[tyedyeto]

12. ROTFLMFAO

edit to add:

Did anyone really believe him when he said that?

[L. Coyote]

14. Only three homes in Pakistan have ceilings over 6 feet tall, so this was too easy LOL

:rofl:

[hay rick]

17. Just so happens that

McCain owns all three of those properties.

16. "..patterns of how animal species spread..."

Uh... far as I know, animal species (other than humans) don't use cars, and trains, and planes, and burrows. How many animal species have migrated from Saudi Arabia to Afghanistan within the past few years?

I think there are limits to how much one can draw from the natural world, in a case like this.

18. That's nuthin'

Letterman had pics of the actual PLACE !!!!!
