Holy crap! That's not that far down the road from me. (I live on Ramkhamhaeng Road, with connects to Suk.71 across Petchburi Rd. I've been by that location many times because Phra Khanong is the nearest BTS Skytrain station to me.

Also, damn, dude. There are about a million and a half taxis on the road here (seriously, it feels like they outnumber non-taxis by 3 to 1 most of the time). If one won't take you, then wait the less than a second for the next one to pull up. No need to start blowing them up. Of course, now we get to wonder WTF that jerkoff actually intended to do with his bag o' bombs. :-/

Also, obligatory Iranians aren't Arab, they're Persian. :p

An Iranian man was severely injured when he threw a bomb at police that hit a tree and bounced back towards him and exploded

I think we need the 'stupid terrorists' image for this one.

I'm willing to bet this is most likely linked to last month's attempt at attacking a Chabad House and other Jewish targets there.

Looks like this guy and his pals were attempting another one of those car bombings (Iran vs. Israel). They first blew up their rental house by mistake, and he was fleeing from that when he tried to flag down a cab.

The headline is classic: UPDATE: Iranian bombs himself. Much better than subby's labored wheeze.

Ladies and Gentlemen: start your Photoshop! Let the memes flow..

To be looking at the board, not bombing in the city

Slow down there, speed racer, if we've learned anything from Gabby Giffords, the Norway Massacre, Timothy McVeigh... it's that you don't start firing off your political told-you-so's based on the first news reports.

Post-Apocalyptic New York

Welcome to New New York, the city where 8 million people think Mad Max was a pussy. Ever since the collapse of Civilization, yesterday at 2:00 p.m. the City has been a nightmarish post-apocalyptic wasteland due to the new habit of New Yorkers of catching a cabby's attention by lobbing a hand grenade or a barrage of mortar fire at their cab. I'm Habib, the cabby, and this is my girlfriend, Tank Girl. She's a waitress in a Deli. Their motto is "No tip, no shoes, no shirt , no feet, no arms."

Yes, New New York City is a tough town. Especially if you are a stand-up comedian who drives a taxi cab. There's a chance that a passenger will recognize you and go nuclear. I mean literally.

Still, I can't complain. I have a mouth full of teeth, many of them original. I have most of my limbs. And at least I'm not working night shift.

If I was a taxi driver and a guy was holding a bomb, I doubt I would stop for him either. It's a damned if you and damned if you don't situation.

...which seems like something you should be saying right about now to the folks who were claiming Israel were doing those bombings, eh? ;)

I blame the taxi drivers in Bangkok. They are far too fussy over who they let into their cabs these days. You would have thought they would try and improve their reputation after they caused last year's flood.

Aint no party like a Bangkok taxi party cuz a Bankok taxi party dont stop til you chuck a bomb at it

Sooo... attacking embassies (I'm guessing that's what the intent was in Bangkok, judging by the other attacks) in various countries and assassinating activists on American soil Link (new window), wow.

Combine all that with the 'we have a nuclear surprise for you' announcement... and wow.

Those are lost causes. Trying to reason with them just drains all my mana.

Throws a bomb, hits a tree, bounces back, explodes. Sounds vaguely familiar...

It's even better that it wasn't the first explosion he was involved in that day.He apparently blew part of
his house up as well.According to MSNBC.Some accomplices managed to get a taxi, he didn't because
he was covered in blood from the first explosion.He couldn't get a taxi,then things got all hand grenadey..

I guess the FAIL & DUMBASS tags were busy in other threads..Cause this dude fits both..
