Osama bin Laden's Private Video Collection Reveals His Affinity For 'Charlie Bit My Finger' & Crocheting Baskets

Osama bin Laden. The infamous terrorist behind 9/11 who successfully hid from the entire world for a decade before finally being killed during a Navy SEAL raid in 2011.

This is a man who terrified the planet. He brainwashed his followers, planned dozens of horrific crimes, and murdered thousands and thousands of Americans in a single attack.

Knowing that, it’s slightly surprising to learn that he had ‘Charlie Bit My Finger’ saved on his computer.

The CIA recently declassified nearly half a million items related to the now-dead terrorist. Some of these images, videos and reports are predictably NSFL (not safe for life), and the authorities’ press release sounds like the disclaimer before an R-rated movie: “The material in this file collection may contain content that is offensive and/or emotionally disturbing. This material may not be suitable for all ages. Please view it with discretion.”

So when the conspiracy theorists started pouring over the files, they were looking for disturbing insights into the mind of a mass murderer. They expected to find beheadings and bomb manuals and other such heinous material — and they probably did. But what’s got everyone talking is the more lighthearted fare bin Laden was a fan of...

The first file name that got Twitter's attention was "Charlie Bit My Finger," the viral sensation that had the entire world, from Los Angeles to Afghanistan, LOLing.

But it wasn’t just that. Further digging turned up Tom & Jerry episodes, several Mr. Bean clips, Wallace and Grommit vids and, perhaps most surprisingly, crocheting tutorials. Seriously. “How_To_Crochet_A_Basket" was saved on Osama bin Laden’s computer.

This lends a whole new meaning to that joke about, “If I die, delete my browser history.”
