Science Explains Why Most Jordanians are born in the months of February, March, April, and June??

It's true. The majority of Jordanians are born in those four months. This third of the year, if taken back nine months, shows that most conceivings happened in the months of May through August. These months in Jordan are characterized by hot, dry climate, which makes of Watermelon as the thirst quencher of choice for all Jordanians. The science begins now...

A new study, done by Texas A&M's Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Center, shows that Watermelons contain an ingredient called citrulline that can trigger production of a compound that helps relax the body's blood vessels, similar to what happens when a man takes Viagra. (Source)

There you have it. And you wondered about the joy بطّيخ created in Jordanians homes.

Pac-Man Fans, rejoice. Beat this high score...

How Law Abiding Are You?

In every country, there are different rules and regulations governing the lives of people. They might be stiffer or looser depending on where you live and that country's traditions and culture of actually following the law. In a country like the USA, the law gets more respect than the majority of other countries. People just live by it and accept it. It makes life easier and you would have an idea of what to do in situations needing law enforcement intervention. However, when we have an Arab just like me! living in this country, you are bound to see the law broken every once in while, I mean every day!

Today, in a period of 10 minutes, I broke the law many times:

I woke up and headed out to my car to get some coffee at Peet's. half way through, I notice a police car. I am one of those that really dislike the police. So, I started to think of things I am doing to see if they have a reason to say something or stop me. I was not wearing the seat belt, I was talking on the phone (now it is illegal without an ear piece) and I made a left turn, while some pedestrians were still crossing the street. Even more, I was going 30 MPH in 25 zone and I parked without feeding the meter.

I know I am self incriminating here, but I would like to know how well, or bad, you follow the rule of law where you live. I don't want to hear about your drug smuggling, prostitute hiring, child molesting, tax evading, or money laundering types of offenses. just the little old stealing office supplies from your work place is good enough!

Ok, OK, on a second thought, include all your offenses. I guess it is more fun that way!

Movie Review (سلام يا صاحبي )

Since everybody is becoming Roger Eberts, and in the spirit of informing the public of the valuable treasures in the Arab cinematic library, I present you with the Movie: سلام يا صاحبي

Released in 1986. Starring: عادل امام ، سعيد صالح ، سوسن بدر

The movie events revolve around the two characters played by سعيد صالح and عدل إمام , they meet and succeed in starting a melon business and the catch phrase "بجنيه و نص، و تعالا و بص" becomes one of the most popularized catch phrases in Arab cinema. I will leave you with a memorable scene of the movie.

How to Plan Before you Travel. True Story!

• get to know the people you are going to stay with. You don't want to find out that one is vegetarian and the other is allergic to gluten, which means you are not going to have any meat or anything made of wheat. I was confined to eating vegetables and beans. let me just say there were some fire works going on in my stomach.
• They were great people. But, you would wake up at 5 am to the sounds of "ammah ammah ammah". the guy was meditating! isn't that supposed to be done in silence?
  
• I hate pets. period. Then I find out that they have this big, ugly dog that kept making scary sounds ala Belle and Sebastian when confronted with the enemy. I believe that pets were meant to live on their own. you don't pamper them, spend money on them, or hug and kiss them. that's just nasty.
• check the damn weather. Being summer does not mean it is going to be all sunny and nice. Where I went, it rained almost non stop. damn you tropical weather.
• Learn a little more about the metro system. It was very helpful and very inexpensive in getting around the city. But, remember that photo in Japan, when the metro station security guards were pushing passengers in to be able to close the doors? Well, I wished I was on that train. Because what I experienced would make that train car feel a lot more spacious.
• Learn what Starbucks serves as a creamer. my regular coffee, at starbucks or others, would always consist of black regular coffee and some half & half. Only to find out that in this country starbucks does not offer half and freakin' half. damn your standardization policies crapbucks.
• look into their TV stations and programming. I hate dubbed American shows. they sound silly and lose their funnyness. I would love for a day to watch my Simpsons with the original voices. Have you ever heard of subtitles you imbeciles.

there you have it. this is just a public service effort brought to you by the "mab3oos foundation for global understanding and conflict resolution" at the Mab3oos State University

Adsense, Nonsense, and how I am going to spend my earnings!

well, it is really hard, and sometimes stupid, to limit yourself and not try new things. I have always said that life is short and being too careful and normal (aka lame) is a waste of time. So, with all the talk of Adsense and the omnipresent Google and not-so-Google ads everywhere you turn your eyesight, I have decided to give this a try and gain some knowledge of the ads-on-your-website thing. So, unless you are reading this through a freedom scientific product, you should have seen that I have placed some non-intrusive ads here and there.

Now, How am I going to spend my earnings?
well, in the past 24 hours, I have earned a grand total of 5 cents. all of them. man am I getting rich or what? The break down:

• one cent will go towards my financial planning fund, where a portion will be used to pay off some credit cards balances and some will go into a CD account for future needs. Actually, thanks to compound interest, one cent will become 6 cents (a 600% increase) if it was put into a savings account earning a merely 6% rate for 30 years compounded annually.
  
• one cent will go towards the buying-a-house-fund. one day this will come in handy to put upfront a sizeable down payment.
  
• one cent will go into my vacation fund. International Space Station here I come!
• one cent will go towards getting a one cent stamp so I can finally use the 42 cents stamp I have sitting around
• the last one cent will put aside for those dark days.

here you go. the perfect plan to manage your earnings and have a debt free, early retirement. I could be a financial planner in no time....

(Warning, Serious Post)....Dealing with life as a Super Human

Well, for some time, I have been blessed with super powers that define the way I live my days. I don't fly over buildings nor can I melt metal. But, to merely have the right attitude, I am very aware of my limitations and abilities and have a way of getting things back in order in a timely manner.
Listen, there is no way to change the present if you are worried, afraid, and angry. the present is simply here and ticking (unless you are Dr. Emmet Brown). If you are in trouble or facing problems, or just having a bad day, cheer up. For, if you frown and get pissed, nothing is going to change. Worse yet, if you do get angry and depressed, the situation might deteriorate further and, consequently, you might lose your temper, or what ever left of it, and get yourself deeper in trouble.

Therefore, my dear readers, cheer up. For a clear head and a positive attitude are so much better at helping you think of a solution.
