It’s Like 10,000 Spoons, Sort Of

Terry Jones, the pastor in Florida who seems to think overtly pissing off the world’s Muslims is a worthwhile use of his time, was unable to carry out his latest, possibly largest scheme, on account of being arrested.

Sheriff’s deputies arrested Pastor Terry Jones, 61, and his associate pastor, Marvin Sapp Jr., 34, on felony charges as he drove a pickup truck towing a large barbecue-style grill filled with Qurans soaked in kerosene. He had said he was heading to a nearby park to burn 2,998 Qurans — one for every victim of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Sheriff’s officials said they would hold a news conference later Wednesday to discuss specific charges.

I don’t think it’s really necessary to rehash all of the reasons this guy is, uh, problematic, but I do have a question: how the hell does one come up with 2,998 Qurans? Costco?
