Cerebral Pursuits
The Bloody Broadcasting Corp. filed a
report in October of 1998 about Uday Hussein's sham academic pursuits. Somehow the BBC managed to write this conclusion with a straight face:
[Uday] himself was subject to an assassination attempt, which left him paralysed from the waist down and, by some accounts, impotent.
He is out of his wheelchair now, but perhaps that experience is what encouraged Saddam Hussein's heir apparent to pursue a more cerebral existence.
And the pursuit was successful: Uday's cerebral cortex is on a villa floor in Mosul.
