Mr. Jess, they are not so smart to figure that out...... Only you!!! You need to pass this along to the US Intelligence agents, but then again, perhaps they have missed their chance........LOL > The natives succeeded in getting bits of his hair by straining the water > that flowed from a waste water pipe when he shaved.

THOUGH AT BREAKFAST By Jess Wilson While eating breakfast this morning I happened to glance at a headline on a story about the search for possible remains of the President Saddam Hussein in the rubble of a megaton bomb blast. Their hope was to identify even a stain of blood as his by a DNA test. I had the thought: how did they obtain the sample where by they were able to know what his DNA looked like? Then it was that I recalled reading a story about a white man in Africa during colonial days that had caused the natives to hate him and wish to harm him by witchcraft. He had been ever so careful that no native get any clippings of his hair or fingernails and use the clippings in making a voodoo doll in his image. If they were able to make such a voodoo image they would spit on it and stick pins in it forming, as they believed, a magic torture. The natives succeeded in getting bits of his hair by straining the water that flowed from a waste water pipe when he shaved. I wondered if the intelligence agents of the United States had used such a device to obtain Hussein`s DNA.

I've been kind of lazy this past week. Bought the New Harry Potter book and that has taken over until my kids go on vacation. Not that I don't enjoy it. So I don't end up completely off subject, I did add to Tombstone central this week. I changed the Death Certificate p get rid of some of the duplicates and added a lot more Death Ces. I think there are over 800 now. Most of them are from Kentucky. Happy searching, Cassy. -- Tombstone Central my other child..... http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~foe3643/
