Associated Bizwiz is reporting that the sparrow that flew in through the open window in Amsterdam nearly dashing human hopes for a new world domino record was, its now been confirmed, an international terrorist bird.
Background checks into the sparrow’s past have shown that it was present twitting up in the trees behind the Florida flight school where the 9/11 hijackers were learning to operate commercial aircraft. It was next spotted migrating in a flock out of Afghanistan two weeks before the American military & Northern Alliance rolled out the offensive against the Taliban.
Police searched the sparrows nest in a medium sized tree down the block from the open window that sealed its doom. They found a tiny copy of the Koran, with pages covered in tiny marks, as if a beak had been used to turn the pages.
On a small scrap of paper inside the pages of the Koran, a note: “I will fly into the open window today and knock down the 4 million dominoes of the infidels! Allah is great, and will reward me for my deed. I will be surrounded by 60 virgin sparrowettes in the divine kingdom of martyrs. Let the carrier pidgeons spread the good word.”
Instead the sparrow managed only 23,000 dominoes and was then shooed into the corner by Dutch agents and shot dead with an air rifle, even though it is endangered.
This is a shot some in the Gimp community claim supports the theory that sparrows, not jumbo jets, were the secret cause behind 9/11:
Dick Cheney denies sparrows involvement.
