    WREUTERS: An audacious terrorist plot has been uncovered as Al Qaeda infiltrate London in a huge mechanical elephant.

    The nation’s capital was today the scene of a terrorist strike the likes of which have not been seen since, ooh 1184 BC. A collosal wooden beast made its way towards Parliament and Horseguard’s Parade, somewhat reminiscent of a giant HORSE used by TROJANS which is popularly referred to as ‘the giant horse used by Trojans’. Suspicions first arose when detectives at Scotland Yard uncovered that ‘The Sultan’s Elephant’ had a Muslim-sounding name. When the monster appeared it was clear that the carving was ISLAMIC and special assault teams were deployed. The resultant scenes were far short of horrific. Soon afterwards, an evil missile landed in London and a passing hairdresser is quoted as saying he was confident it was “nuclear”. From within it emerged a female messenger of death, presumably the first graduate of Al Qaeda’s new emancipated women’s college.

    A suicide bomber/halal beef eater offers praise before the battle
    Pachy-derm. Paki-stan. Coincidence?

    Draw a line from the tusks to the head to the tower to the other one to the orange guy to the London Eye to the red guy to the tail to the window to the roof. What do you see? It’s obvious isn’t it? It says ‘holy jihaad’.

    Flying hat and goggles, or burqa of death and a crude attempt to disguise a bomber’s identity? It was an ingenious disguise, the inability to see this terrorist’s face meant police were left struggling to find an unidentified thirty foot tall woman.

    ‘The Sultan’. Turban – check. Knife – check. Plane crashing into building motif – check. Arrest this motherfucker.

    Pickled Politics can exclusively reveal that this is merely the latest in a string of ambitious and ultimately uniformly unsuccessful attempts on London’s capital city, London. The latest was the infamous ‘whale of terror’ who commited suicide outside Parliament, thankfully failing to detonate his explosives. He had forgotten that whales possess no fingers with which to press the detonate button. His legacy lives on as ‘The Sultan’ carried his depiction under his left arm.

    Speculation and wild conjecture at this stage point to a Home Office mishap. Charles Clarke seems to have unwittingly released all the terrorists involved in this assault as they were well behaved. He should, of course, have deported them all back to their birthplace of Cuba.

    PP will keep you posted. Well, maybe.

      Rohin,
      Congratulations! This psychadelic article is so crazy it might as well be track 3. on Captain Beefheart’s Trout Mask Replica. Way de’ go! It’s good to see that Asian medical students aren’t put off by the recent illegalization of magic mushrooms [I, personally, prefer the Mexican variety to the Colombian: but that’s just personal preference].

      And thank you for the personal re-assurance…

      I thought to myself: Amir, you sad bastard, staying in on a Friday night.

      But alas, I have dear Rohin to keep me company! 8)

      I’m working, what’s your excuse? :P

      Your working? Good man.

      I’m watching old episodes of Lost, before ‘episode 4′ of Season 2. on Tuesday.

      In the meantime, I’m writing an essay on how George W. Bush and Paul Bremer III fucked up the reconstruction / counterinsurgency in Iraq (although I supported the war myself…making me very unpopular with many people! :-) )

      Lost Season 2 is very, very creepy though.

      If you’ve never seen it, then see it

      Probably the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen on a TV.

      Errrm… Don’t want to be a spoil sport but I don’t think the lawyers at Reuters will be too happy.

      El Cid, just in case you’re right, I’ve changed it.
