Bin Laden forgery
I'll break my informal policy of avoiding current events to point out that the recent video supposedly announcing Bin Laden's survival is likely a forgery. If you look at all carefully, you'll note that the video freezes at around 1:56 and doesn't resume for ten minutes. The audio track doesn't have any breaks, so it's likely they had another voice record the speech and then use previously unreleased footage of the Big Bad, freezing the frame when the audio proved longer than the video.
Cheap tricks. I think he's dead.
Why do you avoid current events? I'd love to hear your thoughts about them.
You very well may be right.

That and potential employers tend to google you, and I'm the first hit for my name, so avoiding controversy has a rather self-interested motivation.

Fortunately, I never said many things which could be used against me.
