Lost with movies

I have some bits and bytes to share it with you'll thanks to different sources I refer too.

Movies watched in theatres January - February 2009

• Asif Ala Alezaaj (Arabic)
• The Tale of Despereaux (English)
• Seven Pounds (English)
• Slumdog Millionaire (English)
• Billu (Indian)

I lost interest in watching movies as I get board quickly or the events are too slow. It’s not catchy despite the script and performance is good/ outstanding. I feel I could do more things then sitting for 1hr 30mins to 3hrs 30min in front of the screen.

New Drugs
Drug addicts in Iran fiund a new drug, which is less costly comparing to opium, heroin and hashish, the new drug are Toads.

Why Toads are cheep? They say, they can raise them at home and most of the addicts are jobless.


Teddy Stoddard
Today, I found an email been dropped off by my friend titled 'Nice Story', its about Teddy Stoddard who was a troubled boy and the teacher who turned his life around and became DR. Theodore F. Stoddard, M.D.

It turned out, Teddy Stoddard or DR. Theodore F. Stoddard, M.D. is fictional character, but the story is wide-spread in different languages thanks to the internet revolution.

'SmartRoamer'
Qatar Telecom launches 'SmartRoamer' for Nawras customers as well as other Qtel Group customers. The 1st phase within the five AGCC states (excluding Bahrain) single rate to call back home and discounts in other services.


New blogs
I came acroess several Arabic and English blogs, from Oman and arround the world. I will post some of them when I get time.

Boycotting in Discount

My some of my co-workers have boycotted Pizza Hut for Ghaza as its an Amarican franchise, but they eat from Papa John's Pizza and Domino's Pizza, that's when I got confused, they say Papa John's Pizza is an Italian franchise.

When I arrived home, I googled for all the three Pizza franchises and they are all 100% Amarican corporate . People boycott some and leave others, they don't do their homework.

Another thing, I have heared thet someone watched actress Freida Pinto, who acted in Slumdog Millionaire as Latika, that she isn't Indian, nor has anything to do with it; but it turned out that she is Indian actress and model, born and lived all her life in India.

GAP

Some people started to send chain letters about GAP that it stands for Gay And Proud
And it supports homosexual men and sponsers Gay TV.

God knows if it’s true or not but here is some info about GAP:

The Gap’ was started in 1969 by Donald Fisher and Doris Fisher. GAP is a clothing brand that derives its name from the word ‘generation gap’ between adults and children. The Fisher’s were frustrated with the lack of fashionable styles and decent customer services. They decided to come up with their own brand of clothing.

‘ZULICAN’ virus

Very dangerous virus called ZULICAN is spreading through sea food.

Yes, I’m ignorance and illiteracy can be a disaster for a person and the society, I got a forwarded mail about not to eat seafood because of ‘ZULICAN’ virus is spreading through seafood after the Tsunami disaster occurred in late November 2004.
