For your viewing pleasure

We at the Sandmonkey blog got you 3 links from 3 different egyptian blogs that should distract you from the idiocy of the world by making you laugh. First we have Sally and her account of a really typical cab conversation in cairo. Then we have Tomanbay, with the conspiracy theory to end all conspiracy theories. And Finally, Fictitious Journalist has the heartbreaking story-that I apparently inspired- of a 4th grade egyptian boy who couldn't hand in his homework on time, because the evil Jews took it from him. Enjoy!

I have uncovered another conspiracy, and I must admit I am not happy to involve you in this. But I must stand firm and convey the knowledge I have gathered.

I have converted the letters in Arla to then corresponding number in the alphabet.
So A is 1, R is 17, L is 12 and A is 1 again.
When I add these numbers I get 31

1+17+12+1=31

And the 31’st word in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is ”roughly”.

I have no idea what to do with this knowledge and that frightens me.

Another proof:

Arla +dougs +dams -r = Douglas Adams

Wohaa – It is getting close. I am really worried.

What mystifies me is when I add the numbers as numerologist do (1+17+12+1=31, 3+1=4) I get the word ”THE”.

I have yet to see what word hides behind number 117121. But it cannot be good.

Now I am really scared. Now I have to be afraid of anything that begins with ”THE”.
And that is a lot of things, like ”the car”, ”the telephone”, ”the comput

Aaaarhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Cab drivers are funny everywhere, still non's funnier than the ones in Cairo, almost each one you ride with leaves you with a funny story, I just couldn't forget this one, it was the next morning after the airing of the last episode of Raafat el Hagan in which he finally died, sad enough, but aparently this driver had nothing else going in his life except these series and that he took it much harder than the rest of the people.

Driver (with a deep painful sigh): Did you watch Raafat el Hagan yesterday?
Me: Yes.
Driver (with another agony saturated sigh): He died yesterday.
Me: Yeah.
Driver (with another sigh): Yeah, it's as if my own brother died.
Me(to myself):I can imagine what kind of shallow human beings you and your brother must be.
Driver: But the good thing (sigh) is that he told yosra that he's egyptian and moslem (sigh).
Me( couldn't help but think that the real Mrs.Hagan lived all her life with him as an israeli): But she lived with him and loved him as an israeli jew.
Driver ( not a sigh of agony this time but one of frustration by my stupidity): Deep in her heart she knew he was a moslem, don't you remember that she said that she caught him several times reading the Koran.
Me (thinking of what would've happened if Menachem Begin's wife or for that matter Netanyahu's caught him reading the Koran, would they also know deep in their hearts that they're married to a closeted egyptian moslem spy): I'm sure that's for dramatization, I don't think the real Hagan could be that sloppy.
Driver(completely ignoring me now): Also thank god that 3azeez el gebally went to his funeral and gave him an islamic burial.
Me:Indeed.
Driver: Did you know that his wife and son are now living in Egypt we enehom homa el etnane aslamo "and both of them converted to islam".?
Me: Wonderful.
Driver (with his deepest sigh yet, since we were approaching my destination): ahhhhhhhhh, allah yer7amo "may god forgive him".

Egypeter, are you really that stupid to even remotely think that's a true story, or did you just found it's a good opportunity for you to continue demonstrating your uninhibited hate for Egypt?

Sandmonkey I thought of an addition to the A.P.U.:

In the A.P.U. it is okay to kill other arabs as long as both sides blame it on a foriegn power at the end of the war.

Egypeter,
Let you get away with your trial to convert a joke into a factual incident, or become an ignorant a-hole, well, I'm definitely the latter my friend.
