(or, perhaps, Reuters -- I can't be sure):

Saudi Arabia Says King's Health Improved, July 28, 2005

Saudi King Fahd Dies, August 1, 2005

Yep, that was some spectacular improvement in his health, all right!

Fahd, who is believed to be 83...

That's pretty funny. "Or maybe he was 17. We couldn't really tell."

Sounds like he and Arafat had the same doctor/PR department.

He must have caught a bad case of brain cloud. Y'know, where you feel absolutely spectacular for six months (or three days) and then drop dead?

King Fahd is still dead!


Probably playing Texas Hold 'em with Generalisimo Francisco Franco at that big Poker tournament in the sky.

Migawd, does this mean we're going to get sixteen networks dedicating twelve hours of coverage per day to his funeral proceedings too? 'cause if not, I hear GIPPER is looking for filler programming.

(This also in: Ronald Reagan's death continues!)

Our top story tonight:

Francisco Franco -- Still Dead.


Saturday Nite Live -- Also Pretty Much Dead.

Again? Depending on who you listen to, that thing may have been dying since the second season. Shouldn't it actually be -- y'know -- dead?

(Not to go all Asrai on the subject, but every time someone takes a minor pain as a cue to start moaning 'I'm dying, I'm dying', my first reaction is always to tell them 'Finish!')

And yup, that was also some spectacular improvement (increase) in the price of oil, too! Is there some planned correlation here?
