Once again, Cheyef 7alak exposes another character we all see every day.
Still, I believe a campaign like Cheyef 7alak is not enough to get such scumbags to change. The extremist in me thinks these people should be shot dead, that’s how much they irritate me.
I seriously wonder what does Mariam Nour smoke. During an appearance with Tony Khalifeh, she recently revealed that she used to communicate with aliens and even had one of them sleeping at her house! She also claimed she’s not the only one, Sayed Hassan Nasrallah can also communicate with these aliens!
YOU HAVE TO WATCH THE WHOLE THING!
According to the 2011 Corruption Perception Index, Lebanon scored 2.5/10 and ranked 134 among 182 countries with New Zealand number 1 being the least corrupt, and Somalia at 182 being the most corrupt.
Compared to the Arab countries, we have a lot of work (or cleaning maybe?) to do since they’re all ahead of us except for Yemen, Libya, Iraq, Sudan and Somalia. What’s amazing though, is that in the most corrupt country (Somalia), electricity is actually available 24/7 for the people!
You can check the report here for the full results.

I was going through Assafir newspaper last night when I stumbled upon this piece of news
Some VIP’s got food poisoning during an event they were attending at one of the famous hotels in Lebanon. I wonder which one is it… after all we might have to congratulate their chef for the good job he did if these people turned to be politicians! (In addition to avoid going there)
Lebanese commandos are known to eating snakes at their their graduation ceremonies and during the shows they do occasionally. However, at one event they had to substitute the snake with a live chicken because of the cold weather, I have no idea about the relation between the two but that’s what the report says!
I personally might consider eating a snake as a macho act, but I’m not so sure when it comes to a chicken…! It would have been perfect thought if the video showed one of the Lebanese Darak doing the same thing, you know with all the jokes about how much they love to eat chicken sandwiches!
Burger Bar is a relatively new burger joint located in Sodeco, across the street from Classic Burger Joint. Before getting to how good their burgers are, it’s worth mentioning that The Burger Bar logo is nothing but a copy of the one Johnny Rockets’ has.
So I’ve tried their Mushroom Swiss Burger a while ago, and unfortunately it turned out delivering almost nothing new or special, and I said almost because the bun was fresh and tasty. The patty on the other hand was quite average, while the sauce had too much mayo in it. It isn’t like you’ll hate it, but there’s definitely much improvement that can be done.
For the time being, CBJ seems like a better option if you’re craving a burger in the area. Though I personally would prefer going all the way to Hamra for Burger Nation!
This year’s edition of Beirut Marathon did not only witness setting the fastest times ever since its inception in 2003, but also a Bulgarian athlete, Krasimir Georgiev, running the whole distance barefoot!
Georgiev is convinced of the therapeutic effect of barefoot running and says that he cured an Achilles tendon by practicing the sport.
According to the barefoot runner, the activity is ideal for for the prophylaxis of joint problems.
Of all the available treatments, running barefoot would definitely be ranked the last on my list!
I was disappointed for having to skip an invitation to one of Le Paon Rouge shows last night at Whisky Mist as I was curious to check it out after reading a lot about it. But I was lucky enough to have Liliane sharing with me the photos she took from last night’s performance.
So there you go, a glimpse of Le Paon Rouge at the Mist!
Both of these two ex MP’s are actually doctors, yet they were able to drag their discussion to the lowest levels of nawraneh while debating about a foreign matter! Make sure to also check the outrageous comments on the video. That’s just insane!
I just read on Lindsay’s blog that she spotted a group of people on Segways in Hamra, so I Googled it a little and was surprised to find that we already have a Segway dealer here in Beirut, in addition to two companies offering Segway tours in Beirut and Byblos.
But before we get excited about it, how good are the roads in Beirut for a Segway? I personally can’t think of another good place to drive it except in the downtown, I mean some potholes around here are large enough to make a Segway easily disappear!
Out of subject: Wazawiz will definitely figure out a way to do a wheelie with this thing!
