Are you sure that evil dictator is Saddam? Well ... are you? German Scientist: Saddam Has Doubles BERLIN (AP) - A German forensic pathologist said Friday that Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein has used at least three men as doubles for public appearances over the last four years. Dr. Dieter Buhmann said he examined some 450 images from videos of public appearances of people purporting to be Saddam and can prove that the Iraqi leader is not always what he seems. "The anatomical specificity of the faces are different," Buhmann said. "One, for example, has a very large middle face. The distance from one ear to the other is very much different (from) Saddam Hussein. And in another case the region under the mouth is too small and not high enough." Saddam's elaborate security precautions have been widely reported in the Arab press, which has said he makes frequent use of doubles and never spends two nights in a row in the same building. Buhmann, a pathologist at the University of the Saarland in Homburg since 1979, said he presented his technique of comparing facial features at an FBI forum in 2000, but did not know if U.S. authorities had adopted the technique. He took on the Saddam project for a German public television station.
So then I could have been right that time I saw that guy at the 7-11 ripping off slushies, and I swore up and down it was Sadaam Hussein, but my friends laughed at me and pointed out that he'd just been at a benefit dinner for The Axis of Evil Pension Fund and Bake Raffle. I knew I should have trusted my guts....
wait, so was that him in "Seinfeld"? ya know, that guy that double parked and left George and Kramer stuck in the liquor store while Jerry broke his vomit streak and Elaine had her toe crushed at the bakery?
