O.T. - Bookshelves for the evil

Saw a picture of OBL (now deceased). Behind him
were these bookshelves. I must say, his chief woodworker
was no mastermind. Picture here:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/

Butt joints, nailed! (no dovetails), no backs, simple boxes,
heavy books across unsupported shelves and apparently
made with what appears to be pine!

What gives? Also that compound? What a unremarkable
piece of crap. Don't get me started on the bedrooms.

Yeah, but it was made from Pakistani Loblolly Pine with a tea extract
stain and nose oil finish. It just makes you want to reach out and
touch it. As long as you're wearing gloves.

In real estate it's all about location. Maybe there was a nice view -
of a wall or something. ;)

More like a really excessive need to not draw attention to this location.
Anybody moving in anything even remotely expensive would draw notice.

a). His furniture was "top of the line" in his town. Look at previous
pictures of OBL sitting in his cave: He's got a cheap Chinese knock-off of a
60-year-old AK47 propped against the wall, he's talking on a Norwegian
cell-phone using American satellites while wearing a Finnish (or Japanese)
wristwatch. Heck, his prayer-rug probably came from China!

b). As for nailed butt-joints, his decorator correctly concluded that
goat-hoof glue would be insufficient.

About what? Woodwork? Geez, somebody actually manages to come up with
an on-topic post about it and you question his motives?

Personally my second reaction to the shot of the bedroom was "geez, what
a crummy looking bed".

Given that the guy was rich enough to have had Sam Maloof make
everything in the place to order, his choice of furniture tells us
something about his psychology.

Note that a link that actually shows the bookshelves is
<http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/02/osama-bin-laden-dead-inside-
raid-that-killed-him_n_856158.html>.

That photo is credited as an AP stock photo taken in Afghanistan in
1998.

Maybe good carpentry is against his religion--after all that
EEEEVVVVVIILLLLLL Christianity was founded by a carpenter.

So you took it upon yourself to re-post it ... not too swift by any
measure, eh?

Hint: The smarter folks around here plonked that troll long ago. Do the
rec a favor and do the same.
