Osama bin Laden is apparently dead.

Excerpts from my current Twitter feed:

@chaneski: Can I keep my shoes on at the airport now?

@SethGreen: Huh. No wonder it took so long- all this time we were looking for 'Osama' http://twitpic.com/4s7k8x

@ApocalypseHow: How sweet would it be if the actual shot was fired by a gay soldier?

@bobbendick: "I loosened it." - Bush

@ElaineGFlores: Obama: "Here's my birth certificate. Here's Osama Bin Laden's head. How do you like me now?"

@wordboydave: 200-300 people at World Trade Center. Totally blockaded and policed. Much cheering but not much movement.

@GhostOsama: Well this sucks...I accidentally enabled location on my tweets.

@wordboydave: Some asshole brought a vuvuzela. #WTC

@GhostOsama: I retired as the world champion of hide and seek.

My favorite is from @OsamaInHell: "Wait, what?"

The second one irritates me; Usama is a legitimate spelling of his name. Or at least it was. BOOSH.

So, the war on terror is over now, right? We won? :p

GhostOsama made me sporfle.

As for "Usama," since when was Fox News more worldly than twitter? Seriously, people, transliteration is not that difficult a concept.

but...but "Usama" is a valid transliteration? I keep seeing people joking about it, but it's kinda like how it's fine to write Gaddafi / Qaddafi or Al-Qaeda / Al-Quaida. Same sound, different ways of writing it in our letter system.

I am particularly fond of this one.

Yeah, yeah, two people beat you to it, if you read the other comments.
