If you are sitting next to someone on public transportation who irritates you...

Quietly and calmly open up your laptop case.
Remove your laptop.
Turn it on.
Make sure the guy who won't leave you alone can see the screen.
Close your eyes and tilt your head up to the sky.

Yeah, you'll be arrested, but won't the good laugh be worth it?

Too bad €'s taking the train less nowadays ... he could have tried that on a certain stalkmirer.

Sadly, in that case - it wouldn't have made a difference

Just bring your braille monitor.

لداب نمآلا تاوق نآ ةيرصم

Boy do I wish I paid more attention back when I was taking Arabic in college. Not only could I impress by telling you what that means but I'd be able to get a really cool war profiteering job in Iraq.

Phonetically it looks like "ladabat namimala tawaq na hararsadmim." But I'm 90% sure I'm screwing that up, it was just fun trying to remember that stuff. Putting the individual words into online Arabic dictionaries doesn't find anything though. So it may just be nonsense. Or dialectical. Or I've screwed it up 100%.

That was my guess as well.

I am curious about the other 10% -- how is that divided up?

I wonder what the writing at the top sez?

Just don't do that in Boston...

innerSpaceman · 02-23-2007, 08:45 AM

Aw, you ruined it.

Maybe, but if it does say something, you (someone anyway) are now sitting at work with "BLOW UP AMERICA IN THE NAME OF GOD" or something equivelant flowing through your workplace servers, triggering NSA monitors (in the other web site it was hidden in unreadable flash).

You might want to keep an eye out for black Escalades following you around your daily routine.

Besides, is not written Arabic in an easy first-place tie with Thai as the most visually beautiful language?
