Facebook. I usually check all my messages first thing in the morning. A friend posted something about it. Got the details from the morning paper and the radio.

Was @ parents' watching 60 Minutes (yeah, I'm old) and CBSNews broke in with an update, then switched coverage to their newsroom.

On a side note, Lara Logan is back at work. :thumbsup:

Was in my car listening to the radio. The DJ said "This is just coming in through the wire. Osama bin Ladin is dead. His body is in US custody LMFAO. Lets start the party." Then they played party music. Wasn't sure if they were being serious untill I got home and saw it on the news. Shit was SO cash.

ESPN Radio this morning on the way to work. Apparently I was under a rock last night, and no one bothered to tell me.

I think I saw the ATOT thread last night ~10:45PM, was like "wtf", then I checked the NYTimes front page and turned on my TV.

ATOT.

If not that, it would've been this morning at work, courtesy of a coworker.

See my quoted reply to his post.

You should learn to not take things on the internet so seriously. I was just going off the how the DJ said "LMFAO" after he announced UBL's death. I thought it was some sort of horrible joke until I got home. Shit would not have been cash. I don't smoke weed (Air Force frowns on that sort of thing.) but maybe you should light one up and chill out.
