صعيدى دخل الجيش
زميله بيسأله: إنت منين؟
قاله: أنا من دشنا، وانت كمان من دشنا؟
قاله: لأ
راح ضربه بالنار
وقال: تبقى من ديش العدو

عروسه رفيعة
ليلة فرحها لفوها بجرايد عشان تتخن
العريس دخل عليها كل اما يفتح جورنال يلاقى جورنال
اتصل بحماته وقالها: هى العروسه صفحة كام؟

مثقف ركب الطيارة فقال للمضيفة
This is no talking, I student one tea from clock.
بالمصرى: ده مش كلام أنا طالب واحد شاى من ساعة

واحد بيقول لمراته: أنا بحب فيتراك
قالتله: وأنا بحب أحمد
قالها: فيتراك دى مربى
قالتله: وأحمد ده عسل

As the G8 wraps up in Huntsville Ontario today, the G20 is starting tonight with a dinner by the Canadian Prime Minister.

Protest organizers have started a Get Off The Fence! protest by working people, with a heavy dose of far left terminology. The site runs Drupal, with a link "open source technology" in the footer linking to Drupal.org.

The protests are already turning violent, with at least two police cruisers being torched so far.

There was a 5.5 magnitude earthquake at 13:41 (less than an hour ago).

I was sitting on the sofa, and felt it rock back and forth. Because I had people working in the basement, I thought they were doing something and did not think about it much then.

Only later it was on TV confirming that it was indeed a quake.

From nearby Stratford, Ontario, teen pop singer Justin Bieber has achieved worldwide fame in just one year, becoming a phenomenon.

He can thank the internet as the vehicle that helped him shoot up to stardom.

On Dell's web site, there is an Ubuntu extolling its virtues.

Overall this is very good publicity for Linux, Ubuntu and Open Source, even though I disagree with some wording (e.g. on why Linux is secure).

Here are the highlights

The BBC Middle East correspondent Tim Franks, reflects on remaining impartial in the Middle East.

He notes the dissociation that most Israelis exhibit to the plight and conflict in the West Bank. Many more observations. A very good read.

The best quote? "This is the Middle East but, no, it is not the Middle Ages".

An Associated Press article about Belgium, Belgians vote on future, united country in doubt drew some parallels of the Quebec separatist movement and their relationship with Canada.

This is misinformation, fearmongering and industry lobbying at its worst.

The Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association (CWTA) is alleging that carriers need more radio waves, because consumers are using more bandwidth and have more connected devices than ever before.

If BP spills coffee in their board room meeting, it would look something like this ...

Nothing about the Gulf Coast Walruses though ...

Egypt consumes 19 billion cigarettes a year.

Alexandria is the first Egyptian city to ban smoking in government buildings.

The cynic in me sees grumpy government employees getting more grumpy, and not being on their desk for smoke breaks.

But overall, this is long overdue. As someone who can't stand tobacco smoke, I hope this is enforced for the better health of everyone.
