| Spying Seagull‐the new enemy of the Arab nation |
| 2018-08-19 |
| [Ynet] Israeli researches attach a surveillance device onto a seagull's leg in order to track its route. During its flight, the innocent bird lands in Tripoli where locals catch it and transfer the bird to the authorities on suspicion of spying for Israel; The ornithologist who attached the device: 'Let the bird live and set it free.' 😜 |

| #14 Who is the geography ignorant that wrote that ynet article? "The gull arrived at Tripoli, Libya. Unfortunately,locals noticed the transmitter attached to its leg, and apparently transferred the bird to the authorities. (...) The transmitter indicated that the bird was later transferred to a villa in Beirut, Lebanon. Apparently, the flapping bird had undergone a thorough." Don't do they know there is a Tripoli, Lebanon? |

| #10 start with the Latin The Hebrew actually, as in "Jonathan." Sputter! Seriously, I made a timid little run at Hebrew many months ago and bounced right off, resentful of the different pronunciations, weary of endless fascinating goose-chases into Aramaic and whatnot. Main problem, as usual, was too many settings of neurosis and procrastination spinning already. Decided to put it off until I get over there (assuming they'll let me in). Maybe take a class. Gasp. |

| #2 One might assume this is a plot by the perfidious Juice to make the Arabs look like idiots. However, there may be method to their madness: The transmitter indicated that the bird was later transferred to a villa in Beirut, Lebanon "Mahmoud, by the grace of Allan, we found this surveillance device on a bird." "Quick, take it to our secret headquarters for examination" Or maybe it is just a biology experiment. |
