Oy vey...

Saudi Arabian officials have reportedly arrested a vulture suspected of being a Mossad spy, after the bird, tagged by Israeli scientists, flew into Saudi territory today.

Haaretz reports:

The bird was found in a rural area of the country wearing a transmitter and a leg bracelet bearing the words "Tel Aviv University", according to the reports, which surfaced first in the Israeli daily Ma'ariv.

But, according to Haaretz, "residents and local reporters told Saudi Arabia's Al-Weeam newspaper that the matter seemed to be a 'Zionist plot.'"

    residents and local reporters told Saudi Arabia’s Al-Weeam newspaper that the matter seemed to be a ‘Zionist plot’

    It might be best for such people to assume that everything is a Zionist plot, but go on to figure out what is the next most likely thing for it to be, and act as if the second things was true as, if every thing is a zionist plot, there’s no use fighting it.

  2. The Modesto Kid

    I’m reading a book right now in which a main character has two pet turkey vultures, and no idea whether to think of this as a bit of surrealism or an actual thing — much of the rest of the book is realistic. Do people domesticate vultures?
