DUBAI -- According to purpoted spokesmen for the Al Qaida terrorist organization, the group is very much alive except for the part about being alive.
    "Yes we are very much operational, except we're sort of working on that getting operational bit, and bin Laden is alive, except mostly not so," said the anonymous interviewee.
    The group has leaked out a handful of statements in the past months. "We are preparing for the coming war except for without the war and mostly starving or eating grass to survive instead. Allah be praised."
