Thinking Meat

While the Western news sources debate the semantics of "suicide bomber" vs. "homicide bomber," the wise folks at al-Jazeera have found the perfectly meaningless term:

Violence continued on Thursday in the West Bank when a human bomber detonated explosives at an Israeli army base, killing himself and injuring two Israeli soldiers and a Palestinian.

This is as opposed to what -- a space-alien bomber? A robot bomber? A platypus bomber, perhaps?
