My
sitemeter.com account informs me on occasion of the number of hits reaching my blog - and how they got there.
I occasionally encounter the strangest searches that lead to my blog -- some are so weird, that they deserve to have a permanent sidebar for them.
Unveiling the brand new
"These searches brought folks here. Seriously." section, I am featuring some of the zaniest search results; I'll be updating the sidebar regularly, of course. They keep coming.
These are my inaugural funny searches:inshallah in jewish - because, as everyone knows, I am fluent in jewishfucking instrument condom information in urdu - I'm giggling too much to address the main query, but If you need info about fucking instruments in urdu, shouldn't you google it, I dunno, IN URDU? Urdu speakers, how would you say 'fucking instrument condom information'? ugli tel aviv - No!! It's not ugli! It's pretti!ازاي اشد الرجل ليه - (That reads '
How to attract a man to me'. I dunno, dear, try base instincts - sex, food, sex, football, and sex.
speak דבר - That reads 'speak speak'. Or 'speak thing'. I admit, I'm at a loss.
Jeffrey sachs and mahmoud darwish - Okay, an odd couple. Sachwish? Beats Brangelina, if you ask me
can i get reinfected with swine flu? Wow. S/he's ahead of the discussion curve. Let's see you survive the first time, shall we?
mo said what is standing? israeli intelligence - Now from the context I'm guessing that 'mo said' was supposed to be 'mossad', not asking the holy forces of google what wisdom yours truly has imparted. This said, still a rather unique query...
logo of islam - You mean the one we all have tattooed on our foreheads? Oh, that one.
who got married in srugim - I love it that my blog is a reference on Israeli television. I do.
Abu Dhabi hookers - What? You wish to use my blog for fornication purposes? Shame on you! This is a fucking pure and polite blog
kwalalamboor malaysia - That was supposed to be 'Kuala Lumpur'. Yes, I know.
nation of andorra not in Africa - Now that was either someone googling the Onion skit, or really inquiring whether the rumour he heard is true.. either way, thanks for the laugh!

Following the google search made me realize (sadly) that the Sachs in question is not the one I was thinking about. However, let me improvise something. Jeffrey Sachs is for economics what Mahmoud Darwish is for Arab poetry. Or, say, Jeffrey Sachs is a Mahmoud Darwish of macroeconomics. How about that?
Haha.. good one!
So who's the Sachs you had in mind?
In any event, Sachs is a demi-god for some -- and a fake Messiah for others. It's a interesting dichotomy...
Which makes him half a Darwish, half a.. I dunno, a Rushdie?
I guess that like you the first thing I had in mind was Jeffrey Sachs. However, it appears that there was another Jeffrey Sachs who translated much of Mahmoud Darwish's poetry. Strangely enough I wrote a post today which starts with a quote from Mahmoud Darwish. Then I came to your blog and saw this.
Ha! Well I just learned something.
Perhaps it's the same Sachs?
Alright, now heading to your blog to catch up..
I thought that everyone knew Andorra is one of the former Soviet republics in Eastern Europe. It is where the material comes from to make andorra sweaters.
Yey, you're back. :)Hope you're having a nice holiday. In London we have rain.
Do you read the Economist? There's a 14 report on the Arab world, quite interesting.... There's some cautious optimism in the report, but only from the Economist's side. One Egyptian ex minister, Dessouki, says things like " the arab world is a vicious circle. None of its problem will be solved soon". A syrian professor says stuff like "we're doomed to tragedy"....I can't help thinking he should be on prozac. Are you that pessimstic about the future of the arab world, Mohamed?
Helen
Marko -- you should see the skit the Onion made about Andorra. It's fantastic.
Helen -- pardon my late reply!! I've had the Economist webpage open on their Arab world report for the past 3 days but haven't given it a proper reading yet...
But for the Arab world - I think I am relatively pessimistic, yes. Particularly in social matters. What worries me most - actually what scare the shiz out of me - is the widening social gap, the rampant inflation, and the increasing poverty within the lower classes of society. We can have all the 6% growth rates we want but if the popular base goes hungry, which it does, then it's pretty worthless.
In terms of democracy.. we've become pretty apathetic. Gulf countries bribe their citizens into quiescence. Poorer Arab countries beat them into it. We're recreating the conditions of colonialism, but with a locally grown elite. How jolly.
So, yeah. Perhaps I should have some of that prozac too... :)
emm. cognitively thoughts!
I admit, the keywords that led to your website are funnier than those used to get to my travel blog! Some example? "Are Southern Italians black?" or "Are Southern Italians Arabs?"
Umm...what? ;)
Angela, when they ask you whether Southern Italians are Arabs, I think you should just say yes. That could be fun. :)
