Like so many affluent, 50-something males before him, Osama Bin Laden may have needed a little something extra to ensure that he could have sex.

This includes "pocketknives and tools, medicine or surgeries for ailing family members, toys and school equipment, tooth extractions, travel visas, and, occasionally, pharmaceutical enhancements for aging patriarchs with slumping libidos."

But, seriously, what will the government think of next—tabs of LSD?! more ›
