One country removes the coconuts, another country polices up the pinecones - what a world.

If the past two years are any indication, I think the POTUS has a head hard enough to mitigate the damages from a falling coconut. MOO

Now that we don't have to worry about those dangerous coconuts, can we recall those warships now?

Of all the ways he could be taken out of office, you think he'd want THAT to be the reason?

I’m sure his noggin would have been safe, there upon his servants shoulders, waving at the little people from his armored sedan chair.

In Hindu, isn't the coconut the fruit of God?

Tunnel for Obama near Mani Bhavan
Published: Thursday, Nov 4, 2010, 1:59 IST
By Pandurang Mhaske | Place: Mumbai | Agency: DNA
It could give a sense of superior American organisation, or be an indicator of a deep-set persecution complex. It could also be a manifestation of Uncle Sam’s penchant for a show of strength.
The matter pertains to US president Barack Obama’s planned visit to Mani Bhavan —the Gandhi museum — on November 6, soon after he reaches Mumbai. On Monday, US secret agents visited the museum to plan Obama’s security detail.
They were accompanied by officers of Mumbai Police and civic officials of the D ward (where Mani Bhavan is located). While inspecting the route and the buildings lining up the route to the museum, the Americans detected a skyscraper near Peddar road and also found the area to be highly populated.
Since it is difficult to monitor such a congested area, they came up with a quick solution which left the Indians accompanying them amazed:
A bomb-proof over-ground tunnel — to be installed by US military engineers in just an hour. The tunnel would be a kilometre long and measure 12ft by 12ft — enough to let Obama’s cavalcade pass through. The tunnel would be centrally air-conditioned, fitted with close-circuit television cameras, and will be heavily guarded at every point, including, of course, its entry and exit.
Details about when exactly the tunnel would be made were not forthcoming. But officials said that the structure would be dismantled immediately after Obama leaves the area.

Anyone have an estimate on what this will cost, or if it can be converted into a wall for our southern border? Recycling bomb-proof shelters is green, isn't it?
