I just saw this on BBC News! They only say that it’s an Egyptian Cobra guarding a bejeweled sandal at Harrods!
I am thinking of getting some cobras for my room if they protect so much! :P

Kalem L Ness – Bachir Gemayel
This Wednesday Kalem L Ness is going to have a special episode on President Bachir Gemayel. They are going to talk to some of his friends about his life and achievements.
LBCI is finally getting better at commemorating Bachir, I remember a couple of years ago when LBCI’s coverage was so bad that Solange reminded them who founded LBCI during Bachir’s memorial! This year some improvement were made but imo they can do a lot more then this, for example OTV showed clips of Bach all the day on the 23rd of August while LBCI just reported that they raised his poster on Sascine Square in Achrafieh.

Shaker El Abssi is officially NOT dead
The LBCI reporter in Nahr L Bared just read a statement by the prosecutor general affirming that the body of the terrorist in the Tripoli morgue is not that of Shaker El Abssi!
His wife, one of his kids and the “Oulama” of Palestine had previously confirmed that it was his body so I think all of them should now be in prison for lying to the army and helping a terrorist escape!

Email Signature
I once received a mail from HSBC with
SAVE PAPER – THINK BEFORE YOU PRINT!
as the email signature, I copied it and started using it, and I think everyone should.
Bin Laden appeared in a new video with a new look! His beard is now black and shorter! He also want Americans to convert to Islam so he can make peace with them!
Here’s a Before/After shot of him taken from the Times Online.

Ipod Touch vs SE W960
Before Steeve Jobs announced the launch of the Ipod Touch I was going to get the SE W960, now I am lost!
The Ipod Touch is an Ipod with more features, The SE W960 is a phone with more features.
BUT apparently the SE is going to have a very high price while the Ipod is at 300$ so I could get the Ipod for music and WiFi and keep my phone for calling and taking some photos.
I contacted Interlink (Apple dealers) and they told me the Ipod touch will be here in 4 weeks, The SE dealers told me the W960 will be here at the end of October so I still have time to decide but I think that what will affect my final decision is the price of the SE, if it’s under 600$ I might get it, if not I will be getting the Ipod and maybe a new cell because this one is getting old (but its still good so I might just keep it)
A Russian man launched a law suit against a beer company after he found a condom wrapper and a piece of plastic in his beer! He wants 2 million dollars for moral compensation since according to his lawyer he is now afraid to buy liquids stored in bottles.

OTV Road Signs
A couple of days ago while going to university I noticed a new sign on the road showing the way to OTV, the sign is very nice! it’s a “Closed to Vehicles” road sign but the border is orange instead of red with a leaf on the top and an arrow showing the way to go under it.
This is another great designs by the creative people at OTV, but the only problem in the channel is the obsession they have with orange, I know it’s called ORANGE TV but seriously the orange addiction FPMers have is really getting annoying now!
Last night Israel bombed Syria!! The Syrian fired at the planes but as usual they did not hit anything, I wonder were are the Migs hiding? The weird thing is that Syria just made the news public and an Israeli did not comment! The Syrians also made a threat to Israel: “if they repeat this something bad will happen”.
I thinks that’s a message from Israel to Syria gently explaining to them that they are still stronger and that they can attack them any time they want no matter what kind of weapons they buy from Russia.
PS: I just hope the Syrian reply doesn’t come through Hezbollah!

The New Ipod Touch
Steve Jobs introduced today the new Ipod Touch.
The speculation preceding the launch were true (kind of) the new Ipod is an Iphone minus the phone (Wifi, touch screen interface…) but they didn’t replacee the Ipod with it, they just added it to the collection, a good move in my opinion.
That’s not it, the whole Ipod lineup was updated with new features and designs and you can now (finally) buy music directly from your Ipod Touch or Iphone.
