The magic BB theory

[phantom power]

Our Deputy Leader was using 28 gauge shotgun shells loaded with 3/4 oz of #7-1/2 shot. That particular load carries approximately 262 BBs. The doctor caring for the wounded man said that he removed about 200 BBs. That means about 4/5ths of the shot in the load struck the man in an area no larger than about 18 inches in diameter.

That seems like an awfully tight pattern at 30 yards. It can only be explained by the existence of a magic BB that would ride herd on the other BBs, keeping them as bunched up as possible.

1. We he is the VP. I'm sure he had state-of-the-art shotguns and

BB's. It would only make sense to have something like that in the BB casing because you don't want the VP of the USA to look like an idiot by not killing his prey. Must continue the he-man image of our great leaders at all costs.

2. Yup. The official story smells to high heaven. And the Secret Service

protection of Cheney raises another question: How could they let an old guy, rifle in hand, depart from the V-P's hunting party to an unseen location, then return unseen and "surprise" the V-P from behind (or in front)? That shouldn't have happened--unless the Secret Service was also drunk. I think the "Whittington disappeared" story is phony--covering up something else.

3. I've wondered about the migrating BB, too.

Now, I know that schrapnel (so to speak) migrates. But it seems to me it's a rather slow process. How is it a piece of birdshot "migrated" to the heart in a couple of days? Had to be pretty deep and not embedded in muscle, no? So we have a magic, migrating BB?

4. See the DU post "Algebra applied...". It has a similar analysis.

5. Must have been a magnetic bb in there

to pull them all together like that...

You know how those pesky magnetic bb's are.

6. It was Cheney's magnetic personality.

:puke:

Edit: Hmmm, at least on my computer the "puke" smilie isn't puking. It's just sitting there smiling. What's up with that?

7. What did Arlen Specter say about the MAGIC BB?

just curious...
