    The Holy Lake at Karnak Temple ❤  🖤
    A marvel of ancient Egyptian civilization, it is located outside the main lobby of the Karnak Temple. It is 80 meters long and 40 meters wide. The miracle is that its water never dries up and no algae or odors appear in it, and the water level in it has been constant and has not changed without increase or decrease for more than 3000 years. General, despite the factors of erosion, loss, leakage, and evaporation throughout the ages since its creation during the reign of King Thutmose III, the sixth pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty, ancient Egyptian civilization.

  2. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Muslim lunar year, it is a time of fasting, blessings, and prayers to commemorate the revelation of the first verses of the Qur’an to the Prophet Muhammad by the Holy Spirit Gabriel. It is a time when Muslims refrain from eating during daylight hours as an act of sacrifice that reminds them of the challenges of the poor.

    The daily meals become limited to two, the first of which is the “iftar” which is breaking the fasting that takes place immediately with sunset. The timing of the second meal - “sohour” - is variable according to personal preference, but
    usually delayed as much as possible until just before dawn. In between “iftar” and “sohour”, people are allowed to eat
    and drink liberally.

    After breaking the fast at sunset, the city comes to life with different activities, shopping malls and at the hotels, where Ramadan theme tents are set up and folkloric entertainment is held on a nightly basis. Sitting in one of the cafes on the Nile is also very pleasant, where there is light entertainment and good food offered. The mosques are all lit up, shops are open almost all night, the streets are decorated in Ramadan themes, and the food displayed in the shops is the customary offered especially during the holy month.

    Egypt has a different flavor during the holy month. As August tends to be a warm month, it is best to plan the schedule where the most famous ancient and religious sites in Egypt are to be covered earlier in the day, followed by museums that tend to open a little later during Ramadan.

    As the day gets warmer, the shopping malls such as City Stars in Nasr City suburb or First Mall in Giza, are a delight
    to browse around in, where local and famous brand merchandise are displayed in shops, food outlets and other entertainment is available. There you will also find some of the better local handicrafts.

    As the evening approaches and the city come to life, visitors should enjoy browsing around the medieval streets of Cairo. Especially streets like Mu’ezz Eddin, Azhar, and Khan El Khalili areas, Fostat in Old Cairo, and the famous gates and walls of Islamic Cairo. Alexandria city also has its atmosphere during Ramadan, where the sidewalk cafes by the sea, a walk on the Corniche, or a visit to Anfoushi - the fishermen’s area - and El Attarin where antique furniture and trinkets are sold, whether you are there, day or night, it is a delight. In the evening, a visit to the famous mosque, Morsi Abul Abbas area where themed decorations are hung everywhere, is a must.

  3. December 18, 1992

    Three maintenance workers in Alexandria, Ind., fixed a massive street-flooding problem in October when they pulled a 200-pound hairball from a manhole.

    Said one of the men, "We thought we had a goat."

  4. LOS ANGELES TIMES, October 8:

    One of the passengers in a Soviet spacecraft is fooling around with the equipment, and his monkeyshines may end the flight prematurely.

    The passenger is in fact a monkey named Yarosha -- Russian slang for village troublemaker.

    Evidently bored on the fifth day of a scheduled 12-day flight, Yarosha slipped out of his harness and took a tour of the spacecraft.

    Tass, the Soviet news agency, reported that Yarosha was having a delightful time tampering with all of the equipment within reach.

    Watch out, Yarosha; if you break something, they'll probably dock your flight pay.

  5. A young couple were on their honeymoon. The husband was sitting in the bathroom on the edge of the bathtub saying to himself, "Now how can I tell my wife that I've got really smelly feet and that my socks absolutely stink? I've managed to keep it from her while we were dating, but she's bound to find out sooner or later that my feet stink. Now how do I tell her?"

     

    Meanwhile, the wife was sitting in the bed saying to herself, "Now how do I tell my husband that I've got really bad breath? I've been very lucky to keep it from him while we were courting, but as soon as he's lived with me for a week, he's bound to find out. Now how do I tell him gently?"

     

    The husband finally plucks up enough courage to tell his wife and so he walks into the bedroom. He walks over to the bed, climbs over to his wife, puts his arm around her neck, moves his face very close to hers and says, "Darling, I've a confession to make."

     

    And she says, "So have I, love."

     

    To which he replies, "Don't tell me, you've eaten my socks."

     

  6. John got off the elevator on the 50th floor and nervously knocked on his blind date's door. She opened it and was as beautiful and charming as everyone had said. 

     

    "I'll be ready in a few minutes," she said. "Why don't you play with Spot, my dog, while you're waiting?" He does wonderful tricks.

     

    He rolls over, shakes hands, sits up and if you make a hoop with your arms, he'll jump through." 

     

    The dog followed John onto the balcony and started rolling over. John made a hoop with his arms and Spot jumped through--over the balcony railing.

    Just then John's date walked out. 

     

    "Isn't Spot the cutest, happiest dog you've ever seen?" 

     

    "To tell the the truth, " he replied, "Spot seemed a little depressed to me!" 

     

  7. A farmer and his brand new bride were riding home from the chapel in a wagon pulled by a team of horses, when the older horse stumbled.

     

    The farmer said, "That's once."

     

    A little further along, the poor old horse stumbled again.

     

    The farmer said, "That's twice."

     

    After a little, while the poor old horse stumbled again.

     

    The farmer didn't say anything, but reached under the seat, pulled out a shotgun and shot the horse.

     

    His brand new bride yelled, telling him, "That was an awful thing to do."

     

    The farmer said, "That's once." 

     

  8. Top Ten Signs you're Not Watching a Real Baseball Team 

     

    From Late Show with David Letterman; Monday, February 20, 1995 

     

    You recognize batter as the kid who sold you a hot dog a couple minutes earlier. 

     

    Everytime a player slides into second, he busts his hip. 

     

    They keep shouting "Do over!" 

     

    When umpire yells, "Strike 3!" batter looks at him as if the dude's speaking French. 

     

    Try as they might, they just can't scratch themselves like professionals. 

     

    First base: Siskel. Second base: Ebert. 

     

    Game stops when some lady in a house near the stadium shouts "Dinner time!" 

     

    Players constantly adjusting each other's cups. 

     

    You overheard the coach yelling, "Run, Forrest, run!" 

     

    They play like the Mets 

  9. orca-killer-whale.jpg?1361827264 

    Orcas are often called killer whales. Though they don't typically attack humans, this name is still well-chosen due to the animal's ability to take down large marine animals, such as sea lions and whales. In fact, orcas will prey on almost any animal they find in the sea, in the air over the water or along the coastline. To hunt, killer whales use their massive teeth, which can grow up to 4 inches (10 centimeters) long.  

     
    Size
    Orcas are known for their long dorsal fin (the fin on the animal's back) and black-and-white coloring. Just behind the dorsal fin is a patch of gray called a "saddle" — because it looks like a riding saddle. An orca's body is cylindrical and tapers at both ends to form an aerodynamic shape.
     
    According to National Geographic, orcas are considered the largest species of the dolphin family. They weigh up to 6 tons (5,443 kilograms) and grow to 23 to 32 feet (7 to 9.7 meters). That is almost as long as a school bus. The largest orca ever recorded was 32 feet (9.8 m) long, according to Sea World.
     
    Habitat
    Killer whales are the most widely distributed mammals, other than humans, according to Sea World. They live in the oceans and seas surrounding most coastal countries. They adapt very well to any climate. For example, they can live in the warm waters near the equator or the icy waters of the North and South Pole regions. Orcas are more likely to be found at higher latitudes and near the shore, though. [Gallery: Russia's Beautiful Killer Whales]
     
    These animals do not stay in one area and have been documented traveling long distances. For example, one study found a group of orcas traveling all the way from the waters off of Alaska to those near central California, according to International Union for Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) Red List. This is a distance of more than 2,000 kilometers (more than 1,200 miles).
     
    Habits
    Orcas are very social and live in groups called pods, which usually have up to 40 members, according to National Geographic. There are two different kinds of pods: A resident pod is less aggressive and tends to prefer fish. Transient pods act much like wolf packs and are much more aggressive. They hunt marine mammals by working together. [Video: Killer Whales Caught in Stunning Drone Footage]
     
    Diet
    Orcas are apex predators, at the top of the food chain. No other animals  (except for humans) hunt orcas. Killer whales feed on sea birds, squid, octopuses, sea turtles, sharks, rays and fish. They also eat most marine mammals, such as seals and dugongs. The only exceptions are river dolphins and manatees, according to the IUCN. Killer whales have also been reported to eat moose, according to Sea World.

    Orcas use many different techniques to catch prey. Sometimes they beach themselves to catch seals on land, meaning they jump from the water onto land. Orcas will also work together to catch larger prey or groups of prey such as schools of fish.
     
    Killer whales also work together to take care of the young in a pod. Often, young females will help the mothers care for young orcas

    A female killer whale will give birth every three to 10 years, to one offspring at a time. The gestation period usually lasts for around 17 months. A baby orca is called a calf, and they are about 8.5 feet (2.6 m) long and 265 to 353 lbs. (120 to 160 kg) at birth, according to Sea World. Calves nurse for 5 to 10 seconds at a time, several times an hour. This goes on day and night until the calf has mature enough. It is weaned at a year old. Orcas can live from 50 to 100 years.
     
    Classification/taxonomy 
    According to the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS), orcas are in the same family as dolphins and pilot whales. The taxonomy of orcas is:
     
    Kingdom: Animalia
    Infrakingdom: Deuterostomia
    Phylum: Chordata
    Subphylum: Vertebrata
    Infraphylum: Gnathostomata        
    Superclass: Tetrapoda        
    Class: Mammalia
    Subclass: Theria
    Infraclass: Eutheria
    Order: Cetacea
    Suborder: Odontoceti
    Family: Delphinidae
    Genus & species: Orcinus orca
    The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) notes that recent genetic studies have led many cetacean biologists to hypothesize that multiple species or subspecies of killer whales exist worldwide.
     
    Three distinct forms, or ecotypes, of killer whales are recognized: resident, transient (or Bigg's) and offshore. The ecotypes differ in dietary needs, behavior patterns, social structures and habitat preferences, as well as in genetics, size and shape, according to the NOAA's Office of Protected Resources. And the IUCN notes, "The taxonomy of this genus is clearly in need of review, and it is likely that O. orca will be split into a number of different species or at least subspecies over the next few years."
     
    Conservation status
    According to the IUCN, the orca's population is unknown, and therefore the organization cannot label the animal's conservation status, though some populations are protected, according to the NOAA.
     
    Civilizations around the world kill orcas for various reasons. Some people kill them for food, while fishermen see the animals as competition that must be killed to protect the fish population. Contaminants in the ocean and seas, such as chemicals and oil, also pose a threat to orcas.
    whale-26-Orca-whale-fluke.jpg?1363795254
     
    Other facts
    Orcas use echolocation to talk to each other and hunt. They will make a sound that travels through the water until sound waves hit an object. Then, the sound wave will bounce back to the orca. Using this technique, they are able to detect where objects and other orcas are in the area. They can also find out the size and shape of an object using echolocation.
     
    When orcas are born, their dorsal fin is flexible, but it stiffens as the calf ages.
     
    Orcas are black and white for a reason; their coloring helps to camouflage them by obscuring their outline in the water

    "I am." said the man. 

     

    "I have a black horse and a brown horse," the farmer said, "which one would you like?"

    As they're driving home they're really depressed. One guy turns to the other and says, "Do you realise that this one lousy fish we caught cost us fifteen hundred bucks?"
