Reminds me of this post by Nibaq. I’m guessing it’s by the same artist

I’ve been reading similar arabic dates lately. It seems to be getting more and more common to write weird expiry dates. Have you noticed?

Some one just uploaded the video of what happened in Riyath today .. UNBELIEVABLE!

Thanks Abdullah

An email forward from Taymoor

The escalator you see above, located at the Kawasaki More’s department store in Japan, its 5 step escalator and according to the Guinness Book of World Records,  its the world’s shortest, measuring just 834mm tall.

Anyone can confirm this?

Thanks Abdullah

The MPS held a convention/celebration to acknowledge Hamas’ perseverance.

Literal translation:
Woman: This is Kuwait’s Ghetra. You MPS sold Kuwait. You’re all hypocrites. This is the Kuwaiti’s Ghetra.

Implication (in my opinion):
People at the convention were wearing the palestinians’ Ghetras or Keffiyeh, as a sign of support for Hamas and palestine. The woman felt offended and was opposing the whole thing, in a very unsubtle way.

I’m hoping there is a full video somewhere of this incident so we can get a better idea.

Thanks Khalid

I first read about the new Burger king sliders (mini burgers) from Mark and decided to try them out today. Let me tell you that I was disgusted when I opened the box and took a closer look at the “sliders.”

But looking at the pictures above (I don’t know which branch) I can’t help but think.. Is it really worth it?? going through all that!? I mean look at the employees!

The movie was released in 2005 and it’s been shown on every tv channel on earth ever since.. what is it doing being shown on Cinemas now?

Can you imagine that the US in 1973 was thinking of taking over the oil fields in Kuwait, Saudi and Abudhabi?

Very interesting read:

“The United States government seriously contemplated using military force to seize oil fields in the Middle East during the Arab oil embargo 30 years ago, according to a declassified British government document made public on Thursday.

The top-secret document says that President Richard M. Nixon was prepared to act more aggressively than previously thought to secure America’s oil supply if the embargo, imposed by Arab nations in retaliation for America’s support for Israel in the 1973 Middle East war, did not end. In fact, the embargo was lifted in March 1974.

The declassified British memorandum said the United States considered launching airborne troops to seize oil fields in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Abu Dhabi, but only as a ”last resort.””

“As outlined in the memorandum, military action would be relatively straightforward: two brigades were estimated to be needed to seize the Saudi oil fields and one each for Kuwait and Abu Dhabi. In the case of Abu Dhabi, the Americans might ask for British military cooperation.

The greatest threat would arise in Kuwait, the document said, ”where the Iraqis, with Soviet backing, might be tempted to intervene.”

Interesting read from CNN’s Christiane Amanpour’s documentary. Here is an excerpt:

1980s: Iraq

CNN found that intervention is often weighed against political and economic costs.

Declassified U.S. government documents show that while Saddam Hussein was gassing Iraqi Kurds, the U.S. opposed punishing Iraq with a trade embargo because it was cultivating Iraq as an ally against Iran and as a market for U.S. farm exports.

According to Peter Galbraith, then an idealistic Senate staffer determined to stop Hussein from committing genocide, the Reagan administration “got carried away with their own propaganda. They began to believe that Saddam Hussein could be a reliable partner.”

Are you going to complain about the traffic to work.. ever again?

We spotted this flying trike in Alzour as he was passing right above us.

I think it’s a very cool hobby and I would love to go on a ride one day, but the thing is.. I’m afraid of heights. Especially when I’m hovering 30 meters above ground in a little flying tricycle. Actually, that would be my worst nightmare come true
