2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003

Some Bling Bling. [Link]

A guy basically decided to analyze CNN’s main page and remove everything except the real news. Turns out the majority of the articles on the main page are mostly just entertainment and gossip. I also noticed this recently, CNN’s main page is being filled up with articles of the kind I would find on The Superficial or Socialite’s Life except CNN was always a few days slower. [Link]

I have been watching UFC since morning starting from UFC 1 all the way to UFC 7. There were some amazing fights especially since the original UFC fights didn’t have any rules.

My favorite fight so far has to be Emmanuel Yarborough vs Keith Hackney. Emmanuel is 2.06 meters and weighs 280KG while Keith is 90KG and 1.8 meters tall, so it was a match between David and Goliath. Emmanuel is actually in the guiness book of records for being the largest athlete. Anyway he ended up losing the fight but Keith actually fractured his hand while trying to knock Emmanuel out. He later became known as Keith “The Giant Killer” Hackney. He must have punched Emmanuel’s head like 30 times before the fight was stopped, it was like trying to put down a giant bear using only a spoon.

Thats whats cool about the old UFC’s, no rules, no weight classes and a lot of blood.

I am a FireFox fan myself but I guess anything is better then IE6 [Link]

This site has articles on every letter of the alphabet and talks about their origins. Its actually really interesting. [Link]

Back in Kuwait and feels really good.

A reader called Fahad also sent me the following email:

I went to Krispy Kreme’s Salim AlMubarak “event” (wednesday 17th 10:00pm) as announced by Barrak (big thanks to him). I mentioned 248am and was treated well, and took some pics (he kept asking when were the pics going to be on the website, i said i dont know inshalla soon), so here’s the set [Pictures]

Update: here is another email from Barak

Mobile phone prices are like the same price as Kuwait. Rent is wayyyyy more expensive. They don’t build one building, they build them in large clusters all at once. Drivers are worst then Kuwait. Girls are all like half naked. Kuwait is greener. Emirates mall is like Marina Mall times ten. They have larger variety of restaurants. Finally, consumers are not treated like idiots, they are valued.

So internet in the room is like 3KD an hour but internet in the lobby is free, so you can guess where I am sitting. Flight was great. Emirates have like 400 or something channels of on demand video. By the time I figured out what I wanted to watch we had already landed. Think I am going to go to “The Agency” now drink some wine and order some sushi from the Japanese restaurant next door.

The walk from the long term parking to the main airport felt like a triathlon. I really need to start working out.

If you still haven’t tried the Krispy Kreme donuts please send your address to [email protected] and he will make sure you receive half a dozen donuts for free.

Two nights stay in Dubai, taking my Eastpak backpack, so whats in the bag?

I am going to be leaving to Dubai tonight for a photoshoot. Should be back Wednesday night. I believe the hotel has internet access so I should be able to post from there.

As you know Krispy Kreme is giving away free donuts at Marina Mall. Problem is people are having a hard time finding the girl who is giving out the donuts. This is why, using my great mapping skills I have created a map to show the starting route of the donut girl. Using this map you will have the highest chance of successfully getting half a dozen donuts for free. [Map]

This is why they are giving tons of donuts away for free at Marina Mall. The employees are currently training on how to make the donuts. In the picture above the employees are watching the donuts roll out of the machine while their trainer explains to them the process.
