Matthew Umstead | Apparently, teens know little about Osama bin Laden (OBL).
But, news of his death has prompted a blitz of inquiries, according to Yahoo!.
Here are some fun -- or not so fun -- supposed claims about the hated, bearded one's personal life:
Birthplace: Riyahd, Saudi Arabia, March 10, 1957.
Deathplace: Compound in Abbottabad about two miles from a golf course. Residence was reportedly routinely stocked with Coke, Pepsi and Nestle products.
Parents: His father, who divorced his mother soon after he was born, was killed in a plane crash when an American pilot misjudged the landing in Saudi Arabia. (We doubt this helped bouy his love for Americans).
Height and weight: He was approximately 6 feet 5 inches tall with a thin build, weighing in at about 165 pounds.
College: Reportedly dropped out of college where he studied economics and business administration, but also may have earned a degree or two later.
Sex Life: Supposedly fathered as many as 25 or 26 children with four different women, marrying the first wife at age 17.
Hobbies/Activities: Supposedly soft-spoken and mild-mannered, OBL reportedly wrote poetry and was involved in charitable work, but his main interest was interpreting the Quran and jihad.
We have four words: Freaking weird 'n' creepy.
