Prompting this response from Yankees fan Rob Iracane: “Well, we got nothing better to do now.”

From Huffington Post UK:

According to reports, a man named Mohammed al-Bibi said that he took the ornate, golden pistol, which Gaddafi had often been photographed holding, after shooting him dead.

Mohammed, who is in his 20s and was filmed by the BBC wearing a New York Yankees baseball cap, said that he found the colonel hiding in a hole in the ground.

UPDATE: More Iracane greatness: Heard that while Tripoli was falling to the rebels, Gaddafi was eating fried chicken, drinking beer, and playing video games.
