#1 A young man, Wisam, said "human beings cannot spend hours in this heat without even taking one shower a day."
Suck it up, Wisam. The prophet (bees pee upon him) probably didn't take a shower in his entire life. So you are just emulating him, like you should.

#2 He lives at the beach and it doesn't occur to him to go for a swim?

#3 In addition, Gaza is at threat from Israeli attacks

Gotta make sure to hit that "Joooo Macro" at least once per article, regardless of the subject

#5 The Jooo Macro used to be F11, but now we have a perl script that automatically inserts it into each story.

As for the sewage flood putting out the garbage fires, what a special effects dream! Just the thing for my screenplay "Escape From Gaza". Anyone know what Snake Plissken is up to these days?

#8 I thought that it was reported here the other day that public workers WERE being paid, but had to stay home, I'm so confused. But the bottom line is, the garbage is still piling up in Gaza AND there is still trash in the streets.....(bring on the sh!t tsunami)

#9 You gotta look on the bright side. Garbage attracks rats, and rats make a mean stew.

#11 Wisam, said "human beings cannot spend hours in this heat without even taking one shower a day."

Well, that certainly leaves out the Palestinians. He did say, "human".

#12 Weed Rats - rotisserie style - yummie!

Did I tell you I make a mean Weed Rat stew?

Unfortunately these would be Garbage Rats and there are some things Ogres won't eat.

#13 Steve, look up. Rantburg is run by PHP, not Perl. With Perl, you could get a soothing haiku with every story.

I wasn't refering to the 'burg, where we know it's all about joos, Jooos, Joooos I tell you! but to whatever meme-spewing systems these media hacks compose their drivel on. Probably WinCE, because that is what it makes me do!
