The Worlds most influential Libyan - updated
The Arab Business site Arabian Business has issued its 2008 list of most influential Arabs in the World, which only had one Libyan on it :-< . The guy they nominated, Abdalla El Badri, is the current head of the OPEC cartel that is responsible for the oil production of its members and controls nearly two thirds of the World's oil reserves, of course he was nominated to this position by the Libyan Government and has been holding the position of the chariman of the Libyan National Oil corporation on an off and on basis for probably more than 15 years now. It should be noted that this is the second time he holds the position of the OPEC secretary general.
Even though he was the only Libyan nominated, he has made it to the fourth place on the list, which I think makes up a little for the lack of Libyans on the list :P . The reason given for his nomination is his defiance in the face of first world countries to increase the oil output of the OPEC members, as a means of helping the global economy. Or as he is quoted in their piece :
"If there is a recession, it won't be because of the oil price. It will be caused by the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States and other financial market problems," he defiantly told German magazine, Spiegel.
Update :
The price of oil went up today as a result of OPEC's stance on oil productivity, which was expressed in El-Badri's recent comments :
"Oil supply to the market is enough and high oil prices are not due to a shortage of crude but rather it is because of the decrease in the dollar's value, shortage of refinery capacity and some political tensions in the world,"

Children plot to attack teacher
How sick is this ???????? I mean they had Knives, handcuffs, duct tape and they were only between the ages of 8 to 10. They even split themselves into teams with different tasks to cover up their crime .................. I can only attribute this to the violence they see in movies and TV, because I can't imagine how they could have thought it up themselves at such a young age.
Libya Qualifies for Futsal World Cup Championship
I just heard this piece of news, that went largely unnoticed, from a friend and googled it online, and it seems that Libya's Futsal football ( indoor football ) team won the CAF Futsal Championship. It should be said that it is the first time that Egypt looses the Championship in three years, in the process Libya's team defeated Morocco, Nigeria, Tunisia and Cameroon ( isn't it strange how all the Arab teams always end up in the same group ? :-? )
This victory qualifies it, with Egypt, to play in the Futsal World Cup Championship between the 30th of September and 19th of October in Brazil. There will be 20 Teams participating so it looks like there is going to be stiff competition; but lets hope that they at least leave a good impression on the international stage.
Mabrouk to the Libyan team and good luck to all the participants :D .

Libyan Windows - Updated with translation
Upon popular request I've translated some of the dialog boxes below; but the translation isn't literal as the original text is in the local Libyan dialect, so I tried to translate it into the best available English phrases that make it funny ;) .
Box Title : No way is this happening ! :-t
To be honest I really can’t do this [-( …. You want to delete windows system files !! L-) …….. How many times do I have to tell you not to change things you know nothing of, acting smart, then after you mess up you go around looking for someone to fix it for you ? :-w
Button : OK whatever you said
Title : Are you crazy :-/
You've got to help yourself out here, you only have a 64 MB Graphic Card and you're downloading San Andreas ~X( ......... It would be better for you to cancel the download ?
Button : OK !
Title : So you don't say windows is messed up >:D<
Button1: I changed my mind and I don't want to do anything anymore :(
Button2: Leave the old file
Button3: Make a soup
Button4: Do whatever suits you :-??
Title : The Rubbish Bin
What ???? have you filled up the hard disk or is just that you don't want this file anymore ? You know that you can't get back what you delete right ? Once the garbage truck is gone thats it and its all for free we aren't getting 6 LD or anything ( LD = Libyan Dinars and 6 LD is the average monthly bill for garbage removal :P ) .
Button1 : I still want it
Button2 : Get rid of it
Title : You Thief !!!!!!
Isn't it enough that you are using an illegitimate cracked copy of Kaspersky, you want to update it as well :-w X( ......... you should be thanking God that we still haven't removed it ...... Just use it the way it is don't get greedy .

The new international marriage symbol
It seems this is an oldie; but I've only just seen it so I'm reposting it :P .
The Commission of Human Rights has finally approved this latest International Symbol of Marriage, as of today.

After 5 years of very heated debate, the phrase "I accept thee and all thy Major Credit Cards" will now be written into all marriage ceremonies.
