Work Sets You Free

"Work Sets You Free"... that is what the sign says (in German) that greeted hundreds of thousands of people who passed through the gate at Auschwitz from 1940 to 1945.

علت بر کناری دکتر متکی (وزیر امور خارجه سابق) افشا شد... وی در مذاکره با امیر امارات از روی متن نوشته شده خطاب به امیر امارات گفته بود : خارکوسه جزیره مال ماست... در صورتیکه متن اصلی این بوده : خارک و سه جزیره مال ماست !!!!!

MEGAWhat?

Solar Energy is great, specially for places like Iran. It would help if those running the country had a bit of competence to give credibility to their claims of independence and divinity. Did anyone even read this before publishing it? Would they have known the difference?

The glorious revolution continues.......

Chemistry Award

Cost-of-Progress — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 13:22:47 +0000

It was recently announced that the Century's Award for Chemistry must be given to Dr. Mahmood Ahmadinejad for his kinetic studies and accomplishments in how to convert Persian currency to crap in the shortest time possible.

The photo shows Mr. Ahmadinejad in his lab at work. However, rumor has it that the entire regime is now upset as everyone claims they have had a hand in this accomplishment for the last 32 years, and the reward must be given as a collective recognition for the clusterfuck created by them.

The Two Scenarios

It is March 2110. The exhaust fumes and pollution from millions of old vehicles on the streets of Tehran have all but created a perpetual blackout in the city day and night. Although the population of the city is now close to 55 million, you do not see many of them on the streets. Tehran now stretches from Mount Damavand to Ghazvin. There’s food and water rationing throughout the country.

Fascinating Trio

Take a break from all the attacks and insults and indulge your eyes on this magnificent photo. The Northern Lights, a meteor and the neighborhood favorite, the closest spiral arm of the galaxy we call home. Imagine another being on this adjacent spiral arm of the Milky Way looking at us (at the arm where our solar system resides) through a telescope or camera. What might he/she/it be thinking?

Thanks to Tommy Eliassen who took this jewel.

ما روزه را دوست داریم. پدر من هر روز که از کارخانه به خانه میاید کناره حوز وضو میگیرد و نمازش را میخاند. پدرم همیشه به بردارم میگوید:

"کره خر، اگر روزه ات را یواشکی بخوری خدا در روزه قیامت چوب تو ک.....نت میکند".

5.9 and counting

Scared the living daylights out of me.

5.9 earthquake hits where earthquakes are rare and non-existent. Centered in Mineral, VA about 100 miles from DC. and 4.6 miles deep!

Hey, maybe this Dec 2012 thing is real, I saw the movie, you know.

Must Share

Got a few hours layover here in Doha, Qatar (Ghatar) and thought I'd share this with my esteemed Pur...Pur...Persian hamvatans who are so united these days....he he.... sorry, must be the long plane ride.

Holly freaking human feces....This place is the little western infidel oasis in the divine desert. Mini skirts (airport, mind you), I.com is not banned (hee haaw) and all the scotch on the rocks you can drink! - Compared to Da Kingdom, these folks are infidel to the bone.

What gives?

May be I'll find out.

My little Corner of the Cosmos

Cost-of-Progress — Wed, 04 May 2011 01:01:42 +0000

No wonder there are religions and sects and groups and schools of thoughts and nutcases who try to explain the reasons or the “responsible entity” for the beauty of life that adores our planet. My tiny corner of the cosmos (backyard) produces these little darlings simply by placing a feeder filled with Thistle Seed hanging in a convenient location, so it is no wonder that every morning I see these little beauties I marvel at the sanctity of life that as far as we know is only granted to this tiny little rock we know as Earth….or Zamin ( as far as we know, OK?).

Who's the guy in the middle and what's his story?

Norooz in Arabestan

Cost-of-Progress — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 18:22:46 +0000

I knew that I would be away for Norooz this year, but it was ironic and kind of unsettling to spend it in a place whose ideology and indirect “representatives” are working hard to negate everything Parsi about my motherland.

It is interesting to see people’s reaction when they learn you’re going there…”Why?” they ask with a concerned face. “Eh, because I need to go…... because of work….?”
Duh!
