    I never had myself in a cast, but I never thought of that with the saw.

    It might cut through skin & bone if it were regular saw.

    Why on Earth would Clooney do such a money wasting stupid thing? I doubt they can track a person inside a building (Maybe the super high tech Government owned ones can now) or someone outside wearing a disguise.

    If you are tracking someone’s movements you just need a watch, chart & a pen :)

    Is he specifically paying for the spy satellite; or because he pays taxes, he is paying for our governments actions like the rest of us?

    Clowney said once that all the money he made with the {well known brand of overpriced coffee machines and capsules} ads went to pay for a satellite to watch the humanity crisis on Sudan. It’s been so wonderfully successful that, believe it or not, there’s no evidence, none whatsoever. That’s because the Sudanese people knows they’re being watched and wait for the cover of the night to be naughty. So, Clowney said something about turning it infrared… because he suddenly realized that the technology exists and now the Sudanese people will say “Look! Clowney’s satellite is infrared now! We’re doomed!!!!! we can only be naughty indoors, darn!!!” and, therefore, the humanity crisis in Sudan is going to end. However, this is something Clowney said more than 10 years ago. I guess by now he can show at least one picture of something remotely resembling the idea of an evidence of anything. It never happened.

    That sounds like an interesting experiment to do with a saw. As I said in a strip before, I broke my femur bone when I was six years old; but what I didn’t say was that I had to be in a complete body cast. I got the nurses suspicious that I was abused because I got tired of everyone asking how I broke my leg so I started saying I couldn’t tell.

    Ok, I get it. They vibrate like the blades on trimmers.

    Now, why’s George Clooney interested in stalking that guy? ;0)

    Had to rescue a couple of bats from the water and they sure did not swim well!

    Is it HIS satellite, or did he just contribute to a general satellite that spies on everywhere it goes? you know, like a misleading statement from Ripley’s to get readers upset? In other words, a lie?

    These days, retaliation from terrorist groups is often swift for offenses much less than spying. I would rethink this covert operation ASAP.

    Bats may swim but they sure won’t fly afterwards. I accidentaly painted a little critter and had to rinse him off before the paint dried. Mad as hell. Then had to ‘launch’ him into the air cause they can’t take off from ground when wet.PS: Check out www.batworld.org.

    I once had a doctor cut my cast off my arm and tell me that the saw won’t cut me, but when he was done there was a cut on my arm from the saw.

    Al-Bashir, and others in his government, should be Bin-Ladened.

    Isn’t it amazing that people whose entire life is based on fantasy thinks they have a handle on the real world.

    So, the Header picture has been changed and no longer looks like John Lennon. It now looks very much like Art Linkletter. Great job guys!

    I can attest to the validity of the cast saw vibrating! Had a cast removed in August. The Cast Technician asked me if I wanted to put my finger on the cast saw. I said "Hell No! lol!

    My father was a doctor, and once repaired a pipe leaking in the crawl space using plaster. After a few years, he passed away. Later my mother discovered that the same spot was leaking again, and called a plumber. The plumber came back up looking quite puzzled, and asked how he could get the plaster off the pipe. Fortunately, Mom had saved the cast-cutting saw, and had it off in a jiffy!
