Eccentric California Treasure Hunter Will Scour The Sea For Bin Laden Body

A California treasure hunter, salvage diver, and "patriotic American," seeks a deeply disturbing, deep sea prize -- the body of Osama bin Laden. 59-year-old Bill Warren has "vowed to scour the north Arabian Sea" until he finds the corpse, according to the New York Post. Says Warren, "We intend to locate/recover his body and photograph and video tape him, then do a DNA test on the ship," according to TMZ.

Confident he can find bin Laden's body, Warren, who has discovered more than 200 wrecks, plans to spend approximately $400,000 on the two-week mission next month including a $10,000 per day rented ship and a remote-operated sub, according to the New York Post.

Disappointed with Obama's disclosure level, Warren naturally turned to his girlfriend for input:

"The Obama administration should have released the photo, like we did with Billy the Kid, or [John] Dillinger, or even Saddam Hussein," said Warren. "I have a Russian girlfriend, and she tells me that over there, in intelligence circles, they don't believe bin Laden's really dead."

    Egad - the man is a fool.
    Unfortunately, if he's not stopped by some government, I'm afraid we'll be forced to pay attention to this batch of shenanigans for far too long....
    This summer is turning out very, very wrong.

    You know you're starting to get old when you can remember a time when "patriotic American" wasn't synonymous with "Hannibal Lector wannabe."
