The only good thing this man really did during his whole 8 years of presidency is:
Giving us a day off!
Tomorrow (Monday) has been declared a public holiday in Dubai.
Happy Holidays everyone!
Latest Bushism: “I can press when there needs to be pressed; I can hold hands when there needs to be — hold hands.” –George W. Bush, on how he can contribute to the Middle East peace process, Washington, D.C., Jan. 4, 2008
Yesterday was Bill Gates’ last day at Microsoft. You can read/see his last keynote which he delivered at CES 2008 here.
As much as this he gave, he still had some funny gigs up his sleeves. Enjoy!
Li Ching-Yuen died in 1933.
There’s no problem here really. It is, after all, the circle of life.
The problem is: he was born in 1677! YES!! It is said that he lived for 256 years!
This is a picture of him was taken in 1927, when he was only 250 years old!
According to Li, the secret of longevity consists of four main practices:
After he returned home, he died a year later, some say of natural causes, others claim that he told friends that “I have done all I have to do in this world. I will now go home.”, and then allowed his spirit to depart.
WOW!
Childbirth: Isn’t that such a beautiful word? Shouldn’t it only be synonymous with joy and happiness? I for one think it should not be associated with anything but words such as: happy, congratulations, mabrook … so on and so forth.
But lately I’ve been increasingly reading horrific childbirth related stories: people dumping their babies in trashcans, others abandoning them in hospitals bathrooms, others under bridges, and sick people stealing other people’s babies!
What is exactly happening at maternity hospitals these days?
How on earth can someone wait for a baby to fully develop inside them, only to conclude that 9 month journey by dumping their offspring in a bin? And how on earth can someone have a heart to steal a little helpless baby from his mother’s caring bosom? That I would never know!
Another thing that really pissed me off even more is where the hell is the kidnapper’s neighbors’ from all that havoc? I mean if you live next to a woman who hasn’t had a child all her life and she suddenly has a baby in her arms, then shouldn’t you suspect that there’s something slightly wrong with that picture?
I just read that they captured the baby’s kidnappers after they left the poor thing in an alley in Al Wihdat. The little girl’s parents named her Liqa2 (that translates to reunion) after she was kidnapped hoping to reunite with her again soon and, thank God, they did.
Now here’s what really got me all wound up: the time a baby’s kidnapper has to serve in jail ranges from 3 months, to 3 years! ARE YOU F’N KIDDING ME?!?!
In some parts of the world, like Dubai for example, you get a nonnegotiable 4 year prison sentence for a worthless joint, BUT HERE, you can abduct a helpless baby from his family and get away with 2 years? Perhaps 6 months for good behavior!
Is it just me who thinks this sentence is unduly lenient?
On a seperate note, I wish everyone a happy 2008. May it bring happiness and fortune to all of you.
