Arab/American Moving Back to the Middle East.

Ok,
I want to repost this old useless facts. The funny part is the comments.
Did you know..
1- If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.
(Hardly seems worth it)
2- If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.
(Now that’s more like it)
3- The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.
4- A pig’s orgasm lasts 30 minutes.
(In my next life I want to be a pig)
5- A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death.
(Creepy) (I’m still not over the pig)
6- Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.
(Do not try this at home .. maybe at work)
7- The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male’s head off.
(”Honey, I’m home. What the….”)
8- The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It’s like a human jumping the length of a football field.
9- The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds.
(What can be so tasty on the bottom of the pond?)
10- Some lions mate over 50 times a day.
(I still want to be a pig in my next life … quality over quantity.)
11- Butterflies taste with their feet.
(Something I always wanted to know)
12- The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.
13- Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people do.
14- Elephants are the only animal that cannot jump.
(OK, so that would be a good thing…)
15- A cat’s urine glows under a black light.
16- An ostrich’s eye is bigger than its brain.
(I know some people like that.)
17- Starfish have no brains.
(I know some people like that too.)
18- Polar bears are left-handed.
(Who knew…? Who cares!)
19- Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.
(What about that pig?)
LOL
Peace

Salam,
OK, so I have been busy "doing other stuff", and almost forgot about this blog till a friend reminded me of it.
Here is the breakdown of whats been going on with my so called life.
I have one more session to finish my masters, I have gazillions of projects and exams but I think I can wing it. After 20 years of being American I have decided to retire from the States and move back to the Middle East. Although I'm doing well elhamdelah in the states but there are other things that are far valuable than money.
I'm hoping to find a job in Jordan, but if not I know I can find one in Dubai. Wow! I can't wait to get back home and see my kids play with their grandparents, that is something to watch for I guess. I miss real Arabic food, though looking at me you can tell I couldn't have been missing out food at all.![]()
OK, I have to head to work in a minute, but I do want to talk about a certain issue in my next post and it is about Freedom of expression.
Peace
