I do understand, but I'm trying to picture it - Eslan Al Kadarha gets his hands on a servicemans' rifle (he's a happy camper).

Examining it, he spies the model number on the scope in teenie characters.

Suddenly, he notices that among the numbers is JN8:12!! (gasp! )

Osama must be notified immediately!!
