Arbeit Macht Freitag
Hey kids! It's Friday! Freitag! Arbeit Macht Freitag! Here are a few things to keep you entertained today.
It's coming up on the fifth anniversary of my first trip to Europe. Since the weekend's coming, I'll get a jump on it here by posting the satellite image of HMS Belfast. (Link)
Very few respectable diseases require anything more than clean water, rubbing alcohol, petroleum jelly, or a hacksaw to treat.
I have no clue what "Rick Roll'd" means, but today's video is of a college basketball game getting "Rick Roll'd" by some dude in a trenchcoat. Hilarious!
In today's news story, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia is seeking to hold an interfaith conference between Christian, Jewish, and Muslim leaders on Saudi soil. (AP, Times) This is sure to enrage Jihadis the world over, but I think it's a positive step. For all the accusations that the Saudi government endures regarding terrorism in general and 9/11 in particular, the Saudi government has a lot to lose at the hands of Islamist terrorism (moreso than the United States, in fact), and they've made a big effort in the last couple of years to stem the waves of violent Wahhabi Jihadism. This conference, if it materializes, would be a good step; or maybe it's just a clever ploy by King Abdullah to gauge the reaction of his people? We'll see.
Be safe this weekend, folks. Keep your powder dry. Oh! I need to post Stuff Fly Wants! That'll go up tomorrow; and I will, in theory, have the second installment of my Chechnya series up on Monday or Tuesday same Fly style, same Fly channel.
