Did you know that in order to get the look and the feel of Finding Nemo’s characters and atmosphere just right, Pixar’s in-house art team was required to take courses and audit lectures in marine biology, oceanography, ichthyology while enrolling in scuba diving classes.

That is called respect of one’s project and work and respect of scientific accuracy.

The amount of work that is put into such productions make it a beautiful display of the night of human civilization!

Thank you #SteveJobs

Washington Post:

“Lebanon went deeply into debt to finance reconstruction, and with a debt-to-GDP ratio of 149 percent, it is today the worldā€™s third-most-indebted country. The interest payments total more than a third of the governmentā€™s annual spending. Yet because politicians and their families control one-third of all banking assets ā€” and because Lebanese banks own around 85 percent of the debt ā€” these payments profit the very political leaders sinking Lebanon deeper into debt.”

Average time French people spend eating a day: 150 min (2.5 hours)
In America: 75 min
% who eat with other people in France: 80%
In America: 40%

Eating is a social activity! Our Islamic heritage and Arabic traditions have insisted on eating in groups, talking while eating, and sharing plates.

When will America grow up and give up its muscle cars?

The sound of Chargers, Mustangs, etc. is an added noise pollution to our world. 

Also, who needs 500 horse power to drive in the city. Car companies should be liable to deaths caused by such machines rigged for catastrophe. 

The best thing about automated driving coming up is that it will eliminate aggressive driving and unarm teenagers by taking away their choice of driving.

And if you are not a construction worker moving rubble or a farmer moving tomatoes, why would you have a Ford F-150 ?!
