Ahmadinejad allies charged with sorcery

Iranian power struggle between president and supreme leader sees arrests and claims of undue influence of chief of staff

Close allies of Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, have been accused of using supernatural powers to further his policies amid an increasingly bitter power struggle between him and the country's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Several people said to be close to the president and his chief of staff, Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei, have been arrested in recent days and charged with being "magicians" and invoking djinns (spirits).

Ayandeh, an Iranian news website, described one of the arrested men, Abbas Ghaffari, as "a man with special skills in metaphysics and connections with the unknown worlds".

That is fucking awesome! Thanks, Yex.

So what kind of magic do you think these guys used?

This is awesome.

How does one prove they are calling in spirits...

"Thoth, please come to the stand"

Snow and Anarc were lost at sea in a life boat. Along floats a bottle, and Anarc picked it up. As he pulled the cork a djinn popped out.

"I will give you two lowlifes one wish."

Before Snow could say anything Anarc yells "I want the whole ocean to be beer!"

POOF! And the djinn floated away.

"YOU STUPID SON OF A BITCH" Snow yelled, "Now we have to piss in the boat!"
