Thanks to dyddgu for pointing me to this, which shows we aren't the only country with really stupid terrorists.

Thank you. I needed that laugh.

And Mall Ninja Terrorist Wannabes is now firmly embedded in my psyche, which makes up for a lot of bad advertising slogans, as well.

And yes, I know the words have different etymologies... but scot free...

I saw an earlier, leass detailed version of that story - I was going to post on it as the "funniest disturbing headline".

It is very strange.

The revolution starts in Clackmannanshire?

Just weird.

(By the way, in case anyone is wondering where Clackmannanshire is - it is a tiny county neighbouring Stirlingshire and Perthshire in Scotland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clackmannanshire). The only town of note is Alloa - famous for its brewery.)

"Hoggan and his friend lit cloths stuck in bottles filled with petrol and threw them at Greenfield House, setting fire to shrubs near the building.

No one was injured in the incident. "

No one ever asks how the shrubs feel, do they?

I just hope the shrubbery wasn't too expensive

There's a castle somewhere in the North East (Bambrough? not sure) where after one spectacularly unsuccesful seige the Scots took revenge by stealing their orchard. Not one of our finest hours.
