Supposedly 3 passengers on a flight from Mumbai to Kuwait didn’t have any seats to sit in and were made to stand for the whole flight. Kuwait Airways is denying this incident took place. Now I am not sure how reliable this news is since according to the news agency that reported this, Kuwait is located in Africa? Very weird. [Link]

Don’t know how you’re going to impress your friends this National and Liberation Day? How about with back-lit stickers! [YouTube]

Extremely funny. Watch it quickly before YouTube pulls the video. [YouTube]

I was at the Al Falah car wash for the Gulf Run event when I noticed that the Al Tijaria building or what I used to call the monolith now has blinking lights that also change color. It looked like it was ready to party. [YouTube]

I totally forgot to post about this. Most of you have probably heard about the ladies only pink taxis driven by women that will soon be roaming the streets of Kuwait. I thought that was a cool idea until a friend pointed out something pretty funny but sadly will come true. Since the taxis are bright pink and for ladies only, it should make life a lot easier for the guys who cruise on the Gulf Road. It’s like waving a red cape in front of a bull.

Thanks G45 M45K!

My friend is in Dubai now and sent me this picture of a poster up at Mall of Emirates. Glad we don’t have a similar one up at the Avenues.

Here is the link to the full uncropped image [Link]

Are they ever going to fix the mistakes on the Kuwait Airport website? The mistakes were highlighted back in 2007 when they launched the new site and its been nearly 3 years and the same mistakes are still there. [Link]

We’ve all gotten emails from people offering us money either because their uncle who owns a diamond mine passed away or maybe they inherited the money from their father who was king of Samboliadoodoo before he got killed in a coup d’état. Well what if one of these emails turned out to be true? Mother, an ad agency in London sent out an email to hundreds of people telling them they would give them $10,000 risk free money and all they had to do was reply back with their full name and bank account details. Well one guy did reply, and guess what happened? Watch the video. [YouTube]

This is really funny. I just found this post on Blushberry, its a picture from a magazine spread in which they’re selling BlackBerry’s with “special” PIN’s. According to Blushberry the BlackBerry with the PIN 55555555 got sold for KD9,000 and it’s not even the new BlackBerry its the old one! [Link]

I just heard about this on the radio and just found an article about it online. A shopping mall in China built a parking lot just for women. Some of the features include parking spots that are 1 meter wider than usual, more lights so they can see better, bright purple and pink colored walls and more. According to the shopping mall, the parking lot caters to women’s “strong sense of colour and different sense of distance”. [Link]

Difference sense of distance… I like that.

This has to be the strangest energy drink I have seen. There is a picture of a marijuana leaf on the can, the drink is called Chillo and yet its marketed as an energy drink. Whoever came up with the name and logo either has never gotten stoned before or actually were stoned when they came up with it.

I downloaded this iPhone application today called iHijab and found it really funny. Its a simple app that will add different types of hijab or even a gutra to a face. So basically what you do is choose the type of hijab or gutra you want and then you take a picture of your friend or yourself and presto, you’ve got yourself a preview of how you would look like in different types of headgear. Turns out I don’t look too bad in a gutra. It’s a free app which you can download by clicking [Here]

It’s really funny how you start feeling sad for the lamp. [YouTube]

Scooby Doo’s mystery machine was spotted in Shuwaikh. I guess they were called in to help out with the GCC Summit security.
