there's a multiple-part article about jessica lynch on the front page...
oh my god i'm f***ing dying, and i'm not even done yet...
an excerpt:<!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->These achievements are often forgotten amidst the exploding cars and blowing sands of her capture and rescue story. On some day in June or May or something Jessica Lynch, along with like twenty other people, were driving trucks full of some crap the Army likes to some place where they wanted that crap. At some time between 5:00 AM and 9:00 PM, Jessica Lynch's convoy came under fire from an Iraqi ambush. Immediately the lead vehicle ground to a halt and the people inside were shot to death. No one in the convoy knew what to do. Some of them just jumped out of the trucks and started running around screaming, others fired their guns wildly up into the air, and a few just started sobbing. Jessica Lynch was calm and controlled. She shouldered her M-16 rifle and returned fire on the Iraqi ambushers.
In the span of ten minutes she killed or wounded an Iraqi soldier for every single bullet in the three magazines of ammunition she had brought with her. When she had exhausted this ammo she began firing with her sidearm, but by this time the Iraqis had moved so close that she was in serious danger of being overrun. When she attempted to withdraw from her truck, dragging three wounded comrades, she was gunned down by an Iraqi tank that had moved up to assist the ambush. Just as the tank turned its main gun on her, Lynch summoned the strength from her bullet-riddled body and fired a single shell directly down the barrel of the Iraqi tank. The T-80's turret lifted from the chassis, carried high into the air by a huge fireball. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
that's the best passage so far..

Personally I don't think it's all too funny, really...
- Killed 700+ armed terrorists using only her bare hands and wits, then scaled the mountain of their corpses and planted an American flag. This rotting pile is still outside of Tikrit and has been officially identified on military maps as Mount Jessica Lynch.
- Correctly backed a heavy cargo transport vehicle into a loading dock.
- Completed the "Cave of Time" Choose Your Own Adventure novel in less than five attempts.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Precious.
the boring-sounding stuff is what actually happened to her XD
Ahh, man, now that's hilarious <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
SOMEBODY NEEDS A HUG!
No, we're laughing at the fact that she was idolized as some sort of bizarre "hero" by the media for said capture and beating.
