Ancient Egyptian timeline links?

Sunday, April 11th, 2010

Does anybody have any good timeline links for Egyptian history? Not the ones with the Dynasty dates but the ones with accomplishments like battles, kings, advancements, etc. Thanks! Oh, and I’ve already used these links:

Do you Feel "Welcome to Walmart?"?

Saturday, April 10th, 2010

As America changes, so does the store where America shops. In Dearborn this week, the world’s largest retailer opens a store like no other among its 3,500 U.S. outlets. Walk through the front door of the 200,000-square-foot supercenter and instead of rows of checkout counters, you find a scene akin to a farmers market in Beirut. Twenty-two tables are stacked high with fresh produce like kusa and batenjan, squash and eggplant used in Middle Eastern dishes. Rimming the produce department are shelves filled with Arab favorites like mango juice from Egypt and vine leaves from Turkey used to make mehshi, or stuffed grape leaves. A walled-off section of the butcher case is devoted to Halal meats, slaughtered in accordance with Islamic law (when a Wal-Mart manager noticed the pork section was too prominent he ordered it moved, since Muslims don’t eat pork). In the freezer case, you’ll find frozen falafel. You can also pick up a CD from Lebanese pop singer Ragheb Alama or buy Muslim greeting c

I do not feel welcome to walmart because I don’t shop there. I haven’t been to a walmart in over 2 years and I ‘m still alive. Imagine that!

how do i get my straw sunhat back into shape? it was squashed in transit home from egypt?

Monday, April 5th, 2010

it is a ‘hard’ straw hat & it got squashed in my suitcase

Use steam as it will soften the fibers without soaking them thus allowing you to shape the hat the way that you remember it before the suitcase accident!!!!

Do people in Egypt tell jokes at parties? Do you know any?

Dear Friday,
When I was walking in the lady first yesterday, I saw a piece of religion of a girl, she was egg and sweet. I said "Ya earth keep what is on you. A hundred evenings on your eyes ya beautiful." She said "Poison!" I said "Poison from your hand is poisonpoison ya moon." She shouted in me "Yes, yes, your mother’s soul. Do you remember me one of them? Collect yourself or I’ll collect the street on you ya Omar." The girl entered my brain. I said "your right on me. It shows on you: you are a daughter of people. I want you on the book of God and his prophet.The boon on me, I’ll write my book on you tonight. " She laughed and said "On your slow, on your slow, write the book one piece? Not talk on me first?" I shouted "I die in the cream, ya thousand white mornings, I’m going to talk on you right now."

A Japanese tourist hailed a taxi in downtown Cairo and asked to be taken to the Airport.
On the way, a car zoomed by and the tourist responded, "Ohhh! TOYOTA!! Made in Japan!! Very fast!"
Not too long afterward, another car flew by the taxi.
"Ohh! NISSAN!! Made in Japan!! Very fast!"
Yet another car zipped by, and the tourist said, "Ohh! Mitsubishi!! Made in Japan!! Very fast!"
The taxi driver was starting to get a little miffed that the Japanese made cars were passing his Fiat, when yet another car passed the taxi as they were turning into the airport.
"Ohh! Honda!! Made in Japan!! Very fast!"
The taxi driver stopped the car, pointed to the meter, and said, "That’ll be LE 250."
"LE 250? It was so short a ride! Why so much?"
"Taxi meter. Made in Egypt. Very fast."
