3. Oh My GOD! A brick!

Why do I feel like I walked in on the middle of something.

Is CNBC really giving Breaking News treatment to a brick?

[bleedingheart]

4. are they sure it was a brick and not a rock?

[ZenLefty]

7. Bricks to you. WMD to the white house.

Soon it will be all over the media that Iraq has literally millions of bricks, stockpiled, just waiting to be thrown into American windows.

[htuttle]

10. We need to prevent a 'Brick Gap'

The Chinese have many millions of bricks stockpiled in the Great Wall.

Are we going to just sit here and let ourselves be overtaken?

[ForestsBeatBushes]

17. We could always nuke the Great Wall

[KansDem]

43. And bricks are usually "red," aren't they...?

I don't think this is a coincidence!

Probably dove under a table when he heard about it, fearing for his own window. Forever will the date 11/4 ring on in his assinine calls for warmongering!!

15. I just heard it was a.....

I just heard that a security guard shot a canon through a brick building at an officer drinking from a glass....

Wonder what was in the glass he was drinking from....anyone know?

[DBoon]

34. Shot a "canon"?

Should'a used a Nikon instead.

If you are going to shoot someone, use a good camera!

[Jim Sagle]

45. Maybe he should've used a Lexmark.

Maybe it was a Canon PRINTER. Ever think o' THAT?

[MisterP]

Report to Office of Homeland Security/Re-education Division.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

22. I heard a nasty rumour that there's stockpiles of these so-called "bricks"

dotted all around the continental US.

[ForestsBeatBushes]

25. I heard

they're going to be moving them on trains; probably dropping them off @ Area 51

[T Bone]

32. I heard a bunch of bricks were moved to Baltimore

even before this incident in DC

[Screaming Lord Byron]

40. Man, this is bad. Is it time to call in UN Inspectors?

How about establishing a "No-Brick Zone"

[smirkymonkey]

47. I'm pretty sure that the managers

of my apartment building are in on it - should I report them to Homeland Security??

[Screaming Lord Byron]

49. Yep. It starts with one brick, then another.

Pretty soon you've got a whole damned wall on your hands.

[yellowcanine]

23. Damn! More "dual use technology"

Has anyone notified David Kay that he should investigate the possibility that there were brick factories in Iraq? Might be an additional violation of U.N. sanctions!

[fizzana]

24. Under the Patriot Act that does qualify as terrorism.`

n/t

[ForestsBeatBushes]

27. Why, yes, yes it does.

Any video yet on Homeland Security arriving at CNBC?

[Racenut20]

28. Senator Bond's grandfather, AP Green

Owned the AP Green Brickplant in Mexico, Missouri.

[Oilwellian]

29. If only this happened last Friday...

Then the person throwing the brick could say "brick or treat." I know, that was bad. :spank:

[ForestsBeatBushes]

35. please see #'s 14 and 20

[neuvocat]

42. Argh!

That was just painful.

:)

[Warren Stuart]

30. The only way they will get my brick

is when they pry it from my cold dead fingers.

We would all be safer if everyone carried bricks.

[Buns_of_Fire]

33. When bricks are outlawed, only outlaws will have bricks.

39. A well regulated militia,

being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear bricks, shall not be infringed.

[TheWebHead]

31. lol.. I had thought replacing gunfire with a brick...

would have reduced replies to this topic. The original reporting suggested it was gunfire, though this IS an escalation from last week's toy gun on Capitol Hill :)

[ForestsBeatBushes]

36. anyone know if the perp is a 13-year old?

[TheWebHead]

37. news update

Capitol Police arrested a man Monday after he threw a brick that broke a window at a House office building, less than a week after a gun scare at the same building briefly closed the House of Representatives, police said.

The man was shouting and appeared to be protesting something, "but we're not sure what it was," said Capitol Police spokeswoman Jessica Gissubel. She did not immediately release the man's name.

[0007]

38. Karl Rove wants to take the attention off the........

Iraqi Reconstruction Contracts hearings now taking place on c-span. And man are they blasting Halliburton and the Cheney's thugs.

So I could see why the administration wants to take the attention away from the hearings.

[ForestsBeatBushes]

41. Hand in hand with CNBC

[ZenLefty]

44. I suspect the Masons

Call me a conspiracy theorist if you will, but I think the Masons are yet again behind this new mystery.

48. Touche! LOL

This has been one of the funniest threads I have seen on this forum!

[joanski01]

51. You're right.

I love this thread. DU'ers have a great sense of humor and are very witty. Sure beats the bashing threads.
