    There's a thread on AH about assassination (of Take That) so this coupled with Obama means were all going to be sharing a cell in some secret prison thanks to the CIA by the end of the week::(

    They'd be more likely to invade Pakistan, if history is any indicator.

    What's the difference between Obama & a coconut?


    One of them is brown & hairy.


    Yes, I know that doesn't make any sense.

    They remove coconuts from trees in all holiday resorts in case they injure a guest. This isnt that big of a deal.

    it can be either a nut, fruit or seed. But botanists believe it to be a drupe.

    People do indeed get killed by them the odd time. Besides, its no different from removing dead hanging branches from trees. I think somebody was killed in Israel last year from same (they were in a tent under trees).

    According to some experts, 150 people die every year due to falling coconuts. (Which is apparently 15 times the amount of people who are main course for sharks). When the coconut palm, which is on average is 25 metres high, lets drop it's 2 kilogram coconut, it hits your soft sunbaking skull at about 80 kilometres an hour, or for the physics inclined, a force of about 1000 kilograms.

    I think it's a reasonable precaution.
